The water may be treatedby a special apparatus such as shown in Figure this apparatus, which is automatic in opera-tion, the feeder or chamber is supplied with a brick,a water softening composition, the supply being auto-matically controlled by two valves on the apparatus,which can be regulated to such a point that all thewater is neutralized before it enters the heating ap-paratus. The water softening composition converts the sul-phates and carbonates in the water into phosphates,which cannot harden, making the formation of scalean impossibility. This composition is harmless when 56 Hot Water for Domestic Use used in the water for culinary, drinking or toiletpurposes, or, in other words, the water can be usedfor the same purposes as before the apparatus wasinstalled. For residences and small institutions, where a 30or 40 gallon range boiler is installed, the aboveapparatus should be connected in the cold watersupply pipe in basement leading to range boiler as. Fig. 10. shown in Fig. 11. By connecting the apparatus inthe cold water pipe all the cold water will be neu-tralized before entering the boiler and the waterwill circulate through the apparatus only when hotwater is being drawn from the range boiler; henceit will be impossible to have any lime, magnesia orother incrusting minerals accumulate in the pipeconnection or boiler.
