How does a water softener reduce scale buildup in pipes?

A water softener reduces scale building in pipes by eliminating the minerals that produce hardness in water, typically calcium and magnesium. This is how it works.

When hard water is pumped through a water softener, it passes through a resin bed containing microscopic beads charged with sodium or potassium ions. These beads attract and trap calcium and magnesium ions in the water, which are then replaced with sodium or potassium. This process is referred to as ion exchange.

By removing these hardness-causing minerals, the water becomes "soft." Without calcium and magnesium, nothing can build the persistent scale deposits that frequently accumulate within pipes, water heaters, and appliances. This yields:

Improved water flow and prevents mineral deposits from clogging pipes.

Reduced scale buildup reduces wear and tear on pipes, boilers, and other water-using systems.

Increased efficiency of water heaters and appliances.

In short, a water softener is an effective way to safeguard your home's plumbing system while also improving water quality by avoiding scale formation. This will keep your pipes and appliances working smoothly for years!

This might be a good time for one of your "rpf is not reality" posts, just sayin 👀

askfgsaf you're probably right (referencing this) and for those who are wondering, I basically feel semi responsible for keeping landoscar rpf from crossing boundaries bc I've written so much abt them for so long - so once in a while I'll post reminders that the fandom doesn't welcome delusional ppl and we don't allow girlfriend hate etc pls just ignore if you're like wtf is this bitch talking about

bc the problem is not that people outside fandom use ship names publicly like Oscar very tentatively did yesterday - one of Daniel’s first orders of business on camera with Lando was to (jokingly) declare landan would be superior to carlando. Carlos, Lando, Adam (Lando's dad), McLaren, Netflix, every sponsor for F1 and F1’s official accounts themselves use carlando's ship name and content for engagement. (in fact McLaren almost never use the term 'landoscar' at all but still 'carlando' many times up to the current day) tbh it's actually more common for drivers to big up their bromances than to be like Lando and Oscar who have never gone that route outside of McLaren's usual PR stuff (which has also been wayyyy below the amount they did for Carlos and Daniel). it's actually been kind of nice that they drew that boundary of not sharing their time together outside of work beyond a passing mention and they don't do any gay chicken or overly PDA for fans that yes I personally love but that can lead certain ppl into thinking it's legit romantic/sexual. and that Lily (and Lando's dating/romantic/night life asflgsafja) are so visible and present bc we haven't had to deal with the whole pipeline of rpf delulu invading the ship. we got ahead of all that crazy.

and the problem is not even just when fans use the ship names outside fandom bc often the drivers themselves or people around them bait for it. the vast majority of people (including the drivers) think ship names/bromances are all a fun joke or at it's most serious it's just reflective of their real life platonic friendship/brotherliness etc. most of the popular usage has no sexual/romantic intent at all.

The Problem !! is fans crossing very clear boundaries !! and those are

being overly, grossly sexual (read the room type thing) or being pushy about the ship to the drivers involved (or their friends, families, teams) pushy meaning things like "admit it, driver name is closer to driver x than driver y" "we want pics/content of ship name" "we all know ship x is superior to ship y" "driver x prefers driver y over his own girlfriend" or top voting comments about a ship that has nothing to do with the post at all

deciding the ship is "real" (or “if it weren't for homophobia they would be together right now”) and becoming obsessive/pushing an agenda that always includes pretending that girlfriends and wives are fake or PR or beards or horrible witches controlling the poor weak white male millionaire athlete. sometimes with a side of thinking that teams are involved in the big gay cover up by "hiring/arranging" girlfriends for the drivers (when the teams can't even keep scandals about their own staff locked down alfhgsalfj trust me if a driver was closeted, he and his management alone would be taking care of that cover up and they'd NEVER risk telling teams who have rotating staff and who the driver will probably leave at some point anyway)

and the consequences of fans crossing those boundaries are

if you actively try to push a celebrity to come out then either way it will absolutely not happen, regardless of what their real sexuality is - and if you insinuate too heavily then they will probably double down on their heterosexuality to shut you up (again, regardless of their real sexuality so it doesn't matter either way!)

if you push a bromance ship too hard or publicly present it too seriously then it WILL backfire and at best your fandom is fucked until things calm down - at worst those two people might very possibly want to avoid each other because of the unwelcome insinuations and invasiveness. and if you abuse girlfriends/wives as part of it then you'll get an even angrier reaction (yes this is partly included in Lando's story about the breakup with Lu and the hate she got)

even drivers who play gay for jokes have certain limits - Daniel was at least partly genuinely concerned that people thought he was actually dating Max at one point. Carlos was openly disturbed by fans in a 2019/20? livestream who told him to kiss Lando and he pointedly told them they were very very weird in a not at all amused voice. and three of these men were in serious relationships with women at the time those things happened.

and the thing is with landoscar, Lando and Oscar don't do gay stuff as a joke at ALL and they genuinely take a gender neutral line in discussing theoretical dating and romance questions. that could easily be them just being progressive! it doesn’t mean anything that we as strangers can publicly claim about them and definitely not TO them! and specifically with Oscar, we really don’t know his feelings in terms of fans saying even jokey sexual stuff to him but I would personally say err on not doing it too hard. he's not a prude at all but he's absolutely not publicly raunchy or suggestive to a degree a lot of the drivers are. (I'd also like to say mayyyybe even back off of the Lily stuff directly to him, or at least don't get too comfy about it? idk it's been getting a bit much and he's clear about not wanting that part of his life discussed openly. getting weird how ppl keep demanding photos of her under his posts likeeee she's not a commodity ok!)

I usually say how we in landoscar fandom adore Lily - which we do! - but fuck it, even if Oscar or Lando were dating/seeing someone problematic or that we didn’t adore (!!hint!!) it is STILL not justification for pretending Lando and Oscar are in a secret gay relationship and that the woman they're with is just a cover-up/fake. like yes we all happen to love Lily but our respect for her as a human being and the boundaries between ourselves and her isn’t contingent on affection !! it's basic human respect and healthy boundaries !!

it's why I stick to tumblr and discord for really going off w rpf. even if someone tried to share any of it we know damn well none of the drivers will follow an unsolicited tumblr link (idk maybe Fernando might not know but I doubt he goes anywhere near social media DMs aslfgsalj)

but yea I think fandom overall can keep those people who cross boundaries mostly under control without getting into any fandom police bs. we can all go stupid in explicitly fandom spaces like tumblr ao3 etc but anywhere a driver or someone close to them could stumble upon easily it's worth a quick polite word of advice to ppl who are definitely going too far <3

From soot particle filters to renewable fuels: Examining carbon nanoparticle oxidation

Carbon particles are present in many aspects of our daily lives. Soot, which consists of tiny carbon particles, is generated when energy sources such as oil or wood are not completely burned. Soot particle filters, in turn, remove the nanometer- to micrometer-sized particles from car exhaust fumes with the help of chemical surface reactions. Carbon particles could be used in industry, because at temperatures above 1,000°C, carbon can be converted with carbon dioxide (CO2) and water into precursors of synthetic fuels. In both applications, chemical reactions occurring on the carbon surface are essential, yet the conditions under which specific reaction pathways dominate are not fully understood.

JUST got brave enough to finally disassemble and clean the goldies' canister filter for the first time (I've only had it for a couple months, but still...I've been terrified of accidentally flooding my apartment)

And ANYWAY, holy MOLY that thing was gunky!! Parameters have all been steady and perfect, so it wasn't gunky in a Bad way, but my goodness...goldfish are soooooo gross!! TwT

clicked on an older eddie/omc fic by accident and didn’t realize until i was already like a chapter in and the way the author (who im not going to name so don’t ask) just…. gave the omc buck’s personality and are like “oh but buck and eddie are just dude-bro besties bc buck is completely straight and im not a buddie shipper”????

my brother in christ (gn) you just gave eddie’s love interest the exact same physical/personality traits as my good friend evan buckley and you’re telling me you don’t ship them….

Are AquaGuard purifiers good?

Yes, AquaGuard water purifiers are typically regarded as effective and dependable for household use. AquaGuard, a brand owned by Eureka Forbes, has been in the water purification market for many years and is well-known for its innovative purification methods such as UV (Ultraviolet), RO (Reverse Osmosis), and UF (Ultra Filtration). These technologies aid in the removal of pollutants, harmful germs, and even dissolved salts, making the water safer and healthier to consume.

One significant advantage of AquaGuard purifiers is the diversity of models designed to meet various water quality requirements. For example, if you have hard water with high TDS (Total Dissolved Solids), AquaGuard's RO models effectively reduce TDS levels while also improving water flavor. They also provide UV and UF alternatives, which are effective in places with low TDS but require bacteria and virus protection.

Furthermore, AquaGuard offers excellent post-purchase support and regular maintenance services, which are critical for maintaining any water purifier in peak operating condition. While AquaGuard purifiers may be slightly more expensive than some competitors, their longevity, variety of options, and powerful filtration systems make them an excellent choice for safe drinking water.
