Il faut enfin veiller à l'équilibre calcaire-gaz carbonique de l'eau : la proportion de calcaire doit être suffisante pour favoriser la formation d'un très léger film protecteur dans les canalisations; s'il y a trop de calcaire (eau trop dure), il y a risque d'incrustations et de dépôts importants; s'il n'y en a pas assez (eau trop douce), l'eau est agressive, et les risques de corrosion sont accrus. Dans certains cas, on a recours à des traitements biologiques d'affinage, par exemple pour l'élimination des nitrates. 4, record 1, French, - eau%20douce
