Is limestone in well water harmful to the human body
Limewater IS dissolved in water. Limestone dissolves in water because the mineral calcite it comprises of is soluble. This is why limestone dissolves in water.
Limestone can and does appear in shades of green, due to impurities.
Grikes in limestone primarily form due to water erosion rather than wind erosion. Water seeping into the limestone gradually dissolves and widens vertical joints and fractures, creating the grikes. Wind can contribute to weathering and desiccation of the limestone, but it is not the primary agent responsible for the formation of grikes.
Limestone is a porous rock that can absorb water. While it may not be completely waterproof, it can be sealed to increase water resistance. However, it is still important to be cautious as prolonged exposure to water can cause damage to limestone over time.
To clean the water and keep it fresh.
The best way to clean a limestone fireplace is by using a pH neutral stone cleaner. This cleaner is used with warm water and a sponge.
Have limestone rocks in the water source and mesh to take out leaves and what not
To clean limestone tiles in a shower, you can use a mixture of mild dish soap and warm water. Avoid harsh chemicals that can damage the limestone surface. Rinse thoroughly with clean water after cleaning to prevent residue buildup.
Limestone is called limestone because it has lime in it from the sea water it if formed in.
You need to specify the quantities of both the limestone and the water.
Is limestone in well water harmful to the human body
No, limestone is a sedimentary rock that is the basis for marble if it is compressed by millions of years of pressure. Limestone consists of calcium carbonate, CaCO3. Limestone dissolved in slightly acidic water forms the basis of stalactites and stalagmites in limestone caves.
Air! They are voids IN limestone formed by dissolution by water.
Limestone
From what I know, limestone is alkali, and high pH water would not weather alkali things. For the case of limestone, it might even make the limestone bigger (think so).
