The objective of this paper was determination and measurement of the effect on the environment that application of central softening of water from the Grotowice intake can have. In order to carry out the said analyses, two levels of water softening were considered, i.e. up to hardness at the level of 200 mgCaCO3/L and 250 mgCaCO3/L. For this purpose Grotowice intake collecting water with very high hardness was chosen. Several household appliances which use hot water during their work have been selected for analysis. In addition, the required data were collected and an environmental impact assessment has been prepared (carbon dioxide emissions based on energy consumption of individual appliances, the amount of phosphorus emissions present in used detergents, the amount of waste produced after consumption). As shown by the results of the conducted analyses, limitation of the hardness level of water taken at the Water Treatment Station in Grotowice has a significant effect on reduction of emission of contamination to the environment.

Celem analizy było określenie i zmierzenie wpływu na środowisko, jaki może wywrzeć zastosowanie centralnego zmiękczania wody pochodzącej z ujęcia w Grotowicach, do poziomu wody klasyfikowanej jako średnio-twarda. W celu wykonania założonych analiz, w pracy rozpatrzono dwa poziomy zmiękczania wody tj. do twardości na poziomie 200 mgCaCO3/dm3 i 250 mgCaCO3/dm3. Analizy oparto na danych pozyskanych z ujęcia wody w Grotowicach. Do analizy wybrano kilka urządzeń gospodarstwa domowego, które wykorzystują ciepłą wodę podczas swojej pracy. Ponadto zebrano wymagane dane i przygotowano ocenę oddziaływania na środowisko (emisje dwutlenku węgla w oparciu o zużycie energii poszczególnych urządzeń, ilość emisji fosforu w używanych detergentach, ilość odpadów powstających po spożyciu). Jak wykazały wyniki przeprowadzonych analiz, ograniczenie poziomu twardości wody pobieranej przez Stację Uzdatniania Wód w Grotowicach może mieć istotny wpływ na redukcję emisji zanieczyszczeń do środowiska.

Water hardness, taste, smell, and color are the most important tap water parameters for consumers. Microbiological and physicochemical parameters of tap water should not exceed the permissible values listed in Regulation of Ministry of Health on the quality of water intended for human consumption. Tap water parameters are regularly monitored, however periodically, deviations are allowed, which make it possible to supply water that does not meet the requirements of quality standards. Such a situation causes that consumers have doubts about the health safety of the supplied water. The organoleptic properties of the water such as taste, smell and color can be easily improved at home using jug filters. In this study, we tested the effectiveness of eight inexpensive and easily available jug water filters to soften and remove chlorine from water. Filters were labeled with symbols A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H. Experiments were performed with model water, which was prepared from drinking water taken directly from a sink and spiked with hypochlorite sodium. The hardness of model water was 7.5 mval/L, while free chlorine concentration was equaled 1.1 mg/L. 200 L of model water was filtered by each filter in duplicates. It was found that jug filtration is an effective method for removal of chlorine from water, provided that a use of proper filter. Although, all used filters are dedicated to removal of chlorine from water, not all of them represented a sufficient removal of chlorine. Filters A, B and C were the most effective for chlorine removal. For these filters, chlorine concentration was reduced to the value of 0.075 mg/L. Moreover, for filters A, B, C and E, the concentration of chlorine in the filtrates remained relatively similar throughout the entire experiment. Filters D and H represented the poorest efficiency of chlorine removal. Concentration of chlorine in these filtrates exceeded permissible value recommended by Regulation of Ministry of Health. Among eight studied filters (i.e. 0.3 mg/L), filters A and B are considered as the most effective for water softening. Generally, the efficiency of jug filtration in water softening was at mediocre level and decrease in time. It could have been caused by the high initial hardness of tap water in Gliwice. In the case of very hard water, more often than recommended by the manufacturers replacing the filter cartridges is recommended.
