Permanent hardness of water : Presence of calcium, magnesium chlorides, sulphates in water causes permanent hardness.

→ Ca+2, Mg+2 ions mainly cause the hardness of water.

→ Salts that cause hardness of water are Ca(HCO3)2, Mg(HCO3)2, CaCl2, MgCl2, CaSO4, MgSO4.

ions : Ca+2, Mg+2, HCO3, Cl , SO4–2
