Key Considerations
Hydrated lime releases little exothermic heat when in contact with water, which makes it easy and safe to use in certain applications compared to quicklime, which has high calcium content.
It controls the minerals that cause hardness, such as calcium bicarbonate and calcium sulfate, preventing excessive scaling of the distribution pipe and the water from becoming corrosive. In addition, it is a source of calcium without having to deal with the heat caused by the reaction.
