Hello Mate,




Well First of all Calgon method is one of the methods used to remove the hardness from the water .

Other Possible Methods are :

Adding Slaked Lime (Clark's Process)

Chemical Process of Boiling Hard Water

Calgon’s Method

Adding Washing Soda

Ion Exchange Process or Permutit’s Process

Using Ion Exchange Resins (contains more sub categories )

Calgon is a trade name of a complex salt, sodium hexametaphosphate (NaPO3)6.
a mixture of polymeric metaphosphates, of which the hexamer is one. Calgon is mainly used for removing the Hardness from the water , so basically what it does is that it ionizes to give a complex anion:



Now as we know that Hard water contains dissolved magnesium and calcium ions. These make it more difficult for the water to form a lather with soap the addition of Calgon to hard water causes the calcium and magnesium ions to undergo a displacement reaction with the anion produced by the Calgon !



The obtained product lowers the hardness of water by forming a complex with the hardness - providing ions thus the relative hardness of water lowers down and the by product , the complex of calcium and Magnesium ions don't form any precipitate with soap and hence readily produced lather with soap.
