  Lime
Lime is above all a calcium oxide (CaO) that is obtained from the ashes of burnt limestone.

 Treating Water Heater Lime Scale Calcium Deposits
The only difference between magnetically treated water and untreated water is that magnetically treated water enables minerals to crystallize in the water instead of on the surface of some pipe or container.
Magnetically treated water increases their effectiveness to the point where just one-third or even one-fourth of the cleaning agent is needed.
The accelerated growth of plants by the use of magnetically treat water is possible because the root tips secrete enzymes that dissolve crystals in the ground, enabling the roots to ingest the dissolved minerals.

 . : Lime Kilns : .
The lime softening process for removal of hardness in water, as used at Twyford waterworks between 1903 and 1969, was developed by a Dr. Clark and, as such, is sometimes referred to as Clark's process.
Rain falling on the ground is soft and many water supplies extracted from rivers and surface reservoirs are also soft, however where the water soaks into the ground through chalk or limestone, carbonates dissolve into the water making it hard.
In stage iii, the highly soluble compound calcium bicarbonate in the water, which causes the hardness, is converted by the slaked lime into an insoluble calcium carbonate, which precipitates on formation as 'sludge'.

 Joseph Black   (Site not responding. Last check: )
The water, from its properties, seems to contain a small portion of volatile alkali, which was probably formed from the earth, air, and water, or from some of these combined together; and perhaps also from a small quantity of inflammable matter which adhered accidentally to the magnesia.
Crude lime was therefore considered as a peculiar acrid earth rendered mild by its union with fixed air: and quick-lime as the same earth, in which, by having separated the air, we discover that acrimony or attraction for water, for animal, vegetable, and for inflammable substances.
When slaked lime is mixed with water, the fixed air in the water is attracted by the lime, and saturates a small portion of it, which then becomes again incapable of dissolution, but part of the remaining slaked lime is dissolved and composes lime-water.
