LIME and the water toe drink..
Have you bought a bottle of mineral spring water recently? If so, you may have noted it is somewhat costly, but there are reasons why its clarity and taste probably pleased you: Natural chemistry, rather than mere coincidence, accounts for the fact that virtually all of America's fine bottled waters come from limestone springs. As they course through under-. ground limestone channels, they l e a c h out and absorb C a C 0 3 or calcium carbonate. This natural approximation of man-made lime performs much the same functions as does lime in thousands of munici palities' treatment of drinking water drawn from polluted, sedimented, and discolored surface water sources.
Imparting no taste or odor to water, lime softens a n d disinfects it...neutralizes a c i d i t y , a n d coagulates— for removal by filtration—suspended solids, trace metals, organic tannins, etc. So if your drinking water has been properly treated with lime, what you get from your taps is also clear, pure, and palatable. C h e m i c a l lime not only c a n e n a b l e us to drink purer water, but also to breathe cleaner air, eat more wholesome food, and enjoy better manufactured products. You could learn things of possible value to your c o m p a n y from our booklet C h e m i c a l Lime Facts. Request a c o p y from our Department D-4.
