Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Analytical Control of Water Softening: Thesis
Water is used in practically all modern human industries in quantities so vast and applications so various and its quality is so different that the question of water supply is one of the most important considerations in the establishment of an industry. The importance of the quality of a water varies with the purposes for which it is to be used. A highly mineralized water is not suitable for use in steam making and in the household if for no other reason than that it is uneconomical. Iron bearing waters cannot be used in some industries and arts because of the tendency it has to stain. All industries using large quantities of water must have a relatively pure water, or at least a water suited to its specific purpose.
