EDTA in Water Treatment Applications by student_4_eva is a document available to read on EtoBox.

EDTA is used in many consumer products to bind with metal ions. It is used in detergents to reduce water hardness by binding calcium and magnesium ions, in some foods as a stabilizer to prevent metal-catalyzed oxidation, and in medical applications to treat lead and mercury poisoning and prevent blood clotting.

Lime softening also removes hardness ions by adding cal
