Hard water reduces ‘instant’ water heater efficiency: study

LISLE, IL — Fifteen months of use in hard-water conditions will reduce the energy efficiency of an instantaneous, or “tankless,” hot water heater by 6 percent compared with its use in soft water, the Water Quality Association (WQA) said in a June 26 press release, quoting preliminary results of a Battelle Memorial Institute study.


WQA also announced June 26 that an independent testing firm will look into the effect hard water has on the operation of household equipment such as low-flow faucets, clothes washers and dishwashers.


Earlier in June, the Battelle institute, an independent research organization, had released other preliminary results of its work, showing the effect of hard water on showerheads. Its final report is expected to be completed in September.


All of the research is being funded by the Water Quality Research Foundation, WQA’s non-profit entity set up to fund research into water quality issues.


WQA believes the research will show that use of soft water has a “green” effect in many household appliances, that is, it helps maintain those devices’ energy efficiency, reduces soap consumption and waste, and reduces water consumption. Many of WQA’s members produce and sell water softeners to the residential, commercial and industrial markets and believe that any possible drawbacks of softeners, such as chloride discharges, are far outweighed by their environmental benefits.

Asthma

Asthma, which affects 14 million children and kills several thousand of them every year, is a complication of dehydration in the body.

It is caused by the drought management programs of the body. In asthma free passage of air is obstructed so that water does not leave the body in the form of vapor – the winter steam. Increased water intake will prevent asthma attacks. Asthmatics need also to take more salt to break the mucus plugs in the lungs that obstruct the free flow of air in and out of the air sacs.

Not recognizing asthma as the indicator of dehydration in the body of a growing child not only will sentence many thousands of children to die every year, but will permit irreversible genetic damage to establish in the remaining 14 million asthmatic children.

Dry Mouth is not the Only Sign of Dehydration

The whole structure of modern medicine is built on the pitifully flawed premise that dry mouth is the only sign of dehydration. This false premise is responsible for the lack of understanding about various painful health problems that result in premature death to many millions of people.
Water is too important to the body to signal its shortage only through the experience of a dry mouth. The human body has many other sophisticated signals to indicate when it is short of water. The body can suffer from deep dehydration with-out showing a dry mouth. Dehydration produces severe symptoms, even to the point of causing life-threatening crises.
Dry mouth is one of the very last indicators of dehydration of the body. By the time dry mouth becomes an indicator of water shortage; many delicate functions of the body have been shut down and prepared for deletion. This is exactly how the aging process is established – through a loss of enzyme function. A dehydrated body loses sophistication and versatility.

Great article from Dr. B on Heartburn

Water prevents and helps to cure heartburn.
Heartburn is a signal of water shortage in the upper part of the gastrointestinal tract. It is a major thirst signal of the human body. The use of antacids or tablet medications in the treatment of this pain does not correct dehydration, and the body continues to suffer as a result of its water shortage.

Not recognizing heartburn as a sign of dehydration and treating it with antacids and pill medications will, in time, produce inflammation of the stomach and duodenum, hiatal hernia, ulceration, and eventually cancers in the gastrointestinal tract, including the liver and pancreas.
