Is the water hard or soft in Costa Rica?
OK not a big deal, but it makes a difference what kind of shampoo I take with me there on vacation!
Water in Costa Rica is hard. Rich in calcium and minerals. They use water softening techniques.
"Water Softening. Removal of multivalent cations is achieved by ion-exchange. Calcium and Magnesium concentrations are removed to lower carbonate hardness which causes scaling. Iron and manganese, which cause taste and stain fixtures, are also removed by this process."

Most of it is mineral water coming directly from the volcanic springs.

Most of Costa Rican cities and larger tourist areas have municipal sources of water. I have always found these to be what most Americans would consider soft. You won't taste an abundance of minerals and it does not leave stains or rings
