Is it safe to drink tap water with calcium?

Tap water with high calcium content is perfectly safe to drink. To prevent limescale in showers and kettles, have a centralized ion exchange system installed. Or a water filter jug for the kitchen.

Does Ca2+ contribute to water hardness?

Another common measurement of water hardness is known as total hardness as CaCO3. This measurement takes into account both Ca2+ and Mg2+ ions. On average, magnesium hardness represents about 1/3 of total hardness and calcium hardness about 2/3.
