Is boiled water lime-free?

Q: Is boiled water lime-free?

Many orchids do not benefit from too much limescale Boiling can make the water more palatable to the orchids, but the very best solution would be rainwater, which naturally comes down from above without limescale in itself. A more expensive alternative is demineralized water.

PRECIPITATES DURING HEATING

The more you heat the water in the kettle, the more it precipitates. limescale , which is bound in the water. This happens exponentially from 60 degrees and up. If your water is very hard, there will be a porridge-like layer of limescale at the top, as long as the water is hot.

When the water cools down, much of the lime precipitates, but not all. We therefore speak of temporary and permanent hardness. Precipitated limescale can be filtered out, and then the hardness of the water has decreased accordingly. But the water is not lime-free.
