Calcium Toxicity: Calcium can be a nuisance as it
contributes to the hardness of the water and build up on pipes
or water heaters and may inhibit their performance.
Calcium exists in soil and rock such as limestone, dolomite
and gypsum. Drinking water contributes only a small amount of
the required daily intake of calcium. Calcium can be a nuisance
as it contributes to the hardness of the water and build up on
pipes or water heaters and may inhibit their performance. Low
levels can be helpful as it tends to form a coating on pipes
which may prevent corrosion.
