Subject: RE: BS: Water:Soft vs Hard = Acid vs Alkaline?
Couple of typing errors or missed out bits. Sandstone is mainly silica and does not dissolve to any appreciable extent in rain water.
The lime dissolves the calcium carbonate should have read "The water dissolves the calcium carbonate" or possibly "The lime is dissolved by the rain water"
