Google had promised us it was coming, and how its here: Chromecast has been updated with a new Backdrop feature that lets you display your own photos when you're not busy streaming something. You can also display popular photos from elsewhere, and news and weather snippets.
No, to soften water, you need a water softener. The salt used in the brine tank of a water softener does not directly soften the water, but is used to regenerate the resin beads in your water softener. These actually soften the water from your well by removing the hard water ions, calcium, magnesium and iron.
âOur experience has been the same with the salt-free water softeners. They tend to be far less effective at preventing the negative effects that hard water has in the home. For this reason, we generally recommend that individuals use a salt-based softener unless the level of hardness is low or they have an objection to the potentially harmful environmental impact that a salt-based system may cause.
