{"title":"Water Softener for Bathroom in Bhopal: Hard Water Filter","description":"\u003cp\u003eA water softener in Bhopal does not have to mean a salt tank and a plumber. Care Dale's tap and shower filter screws onto the bathroom tap or shower arm you already have, blocks 92% of calcium and removes 96% of chlorine from the water you bathe in, and comes in two versions: one for municipal supply, one for borewell or tanker water.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhich filter suits the water your Bhopal home gets?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhether you want a tap filter for hard water or a shower filter in Bhopal, choose by water source, not by locality. The same unit fits both. The Municipal filter is made for piped city supply. The Borewell\/Tanker filter is made for groundwater and tanker deliveries, which tend to carry a heavier mineral load.

The Borewell\/Tanker cartridge adds an extra hardness layer ahead of the CareTec mesh. With less calcium and chlorine in the water, shampoo lathers more easily and less film is left on skin and hair after rinsing. The water that comes out sits at pH 5.5 to 6.5, and the process uses no salt or chemicals and wastes no water.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is filtration, not a purifier, so it does not lower TDS or remove iron and heavy metals.
