2. Water softening - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_softening

   Since these systems do not work by exchanging ions, like traditional water softeners do, one benefit claimed for the user is the elimination of the need to add salt to the system. Such systems do not remove minerals from the water itself. Rather, they can only alter the downstream effects that the mineral-bearing water would otherwise have.

3. Magnetic water treatment - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnetic_water_treatment

   As magnets affect water to a small degree, and water containing ions is more conductive than purer water, magnetic water treatment is an example of a valid scientific hypothesis that failed experimental testing and is thus disproven. Any products claiming to utilize magnetic water treatment are absolutely fraudulent. [1]

4. Leak detection - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leak_detection

   Externally based systems use local, dedicated sensors. [3] Such LDS are highly sensitive and accurate, but system cost and complexity of installation are usually very high; [17] applications are therefore limited to special high-risk areas, e.g. near rivers or nature-protection areas. [6]

5. Backwashing (water treatment) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Backwashing_(water_treatment)

   Water to be filtered is then applied to the filter surface until the filter clogs and the backwash cycle needs to be repeated. [3]: 264–8 [4]: 10.53–10.58 [5]: 937–9 [6]: 8.11–8.18 [7]: 353–6 Some water treatment filters use surface wash systems that break up the heavily clogged, granular media surface layer.

6. Water heating - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_heating

   Water typically enters residences in the US at about 10 °C (50 °F), depending on latitude and season. Hot water temperatures of 50 °C (122 °F) are usual for dish-washing, laundry and showering, which requires that the heater raise the water temperature about 40 °C (72 °F) if the hot water is mixed with cold water at the point of use.

7. Flow measurement - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flow_measurement

   This is the most commonly used measurement system for measuring water supply in houses. The fluid, most commonly water, enters in one side of the meter and strikes the nutating disk, which is eccentrically mounted. The disk must then "wobble" or nutate about the vertical axis, since the bottom and the top of the disk remain in contact with the ...
