Abstract:-The environmental issues regarding hardness of water are growing day by day and has brought the requirement of eco-friendly and as well as economical alternatives for its removal. Our work focused on the treatment of water only for removal of hardness. The material selected, should be such a bulk amount waste, so its usage, not only counteract the expensiveness issue but also helps to tackle waste management for that particular waste. Fly Ash is such an alternative which is cheap, as waster material of power plant, has multipurpose use in treatment of hard water. Though the use of Fly Ash is high in concrete technology and concrete products yet the quantity generated is such that it waste disposal is yet an issue. As fly as contains SiO2, Al2O3, and calcium oxide which resembles the compostion of zeolite, which can be extracted and used for removal of hardness of water economically and solve much more problem of solid waste disposal.

I. INTRODUCTION
Domestic wastewater contains all the materials composed of human body wastes (faeces and urine) together with the water used for flushing toilets etc also resulting from personal washing, laundry, food preparation and the cleaning of kitchen utensils.
Industrial wastewaters are generally much more polluted than the domestic wastewater or even commercial wastewaters. The still, however, several industrialists try to discharge their effluents into natural river streams, through unauthorized direct discharges. Such a tendency, on the part of industries may pollute the entire river water to a grave extent, thereby making its purification almost an impossible task. It, therefore, becomes, necessary, for the industry to treat their wastewaters in their individual treatment plants, before discharging their effluents either on land or lakes or rivers, or in municipal sewers. The characteristics of the produced wastewater will usually vary from industry to industry, and also vary from process to process even in the same industry, but most having hardness problem.
