Water Softeners
Most water contains more than water. Almost all of the
water found in the U.S. is hard water. Hard water is water that is
contaminated with dissolved minerals-like calcium, magnesium, sulfur,
iron, lead and limestone-that can have a negative impact on you and
your household. Depending on where you live, contaminants from sewage,
industrial waste and agricultural run-off can also seep into your
water supply.

What does a water softener do?
A water softener is plumbed into the entry of the house. Water
softener systems reduce the hardness of water by replacing the
hardness minerals – calcium, magnesium ions and other cations- with
another ion, frequently sodium. Hard water creates ugly scale on water
fixtures; coats water heating elements causing power loss and
increased electricity consumption; wastes soap by reducing its
lathering ability, and it leaves a residue on your skin and hair.
Water softening can extend the useful life of water heaters, washing
machines, dishwashers, coffeemakers, humidifiers and household
plumbing systems by as much as 30%.
How does a
water softer works
?
Step 1. The body of a water softener is a tank filled
with resin beads. These beads are covered sodium ions. As hard water
passes through, the resin beads act like a magnet, attracting the
calcium and magnesium ions (hardness) in exchange for sodium.
Step 2. Eventually, the resin beads become saturated
with mineral ions and have to be “re-charged”. This process is called
regeneration, and is conducted by the control valve on the top of the
tank. The control valve is the brain of the system.
Step 3. During regeneration, as strong brine solution is
flushed through the resin tank, bathing the resin beads in a stream of
sodium ions which replace the accumulated calcium and magnesium ions
(hardness).
Step 4. The brine solution, carrying the displaced
calcium and magnesium ions, is then flushed down the drain by fresh
water. The regenerated resin beads can be used again and again.
Why we have to
remove ions ?
The dissolved salts in the natural waters pose serious
problems in the industries. These salts form scales in the boiler
tubes, corrode pipelines and interfere with many chemical processing.
In the natural waters and in waste-waters, there are often undesirable
ions and some of them may be worth recovering. So, it is important to
remove them when they are present in the drinking water
Soft water makes a difference. You can feel and see,
all over the house.
In the Bathroom:
Your soap and shampoo will lather better. Your hair and skin
will feel noticeable cleaner, softer, and hot as dry. And there will
be no sap scum or mineral deposits to clean off sinks, showers, tubs
and toilets.
In the Laundry:
Clothes will be softer, cleaner, whiter and brighter. Plus they will
last longer. Using soft water and pure soap products increases the
life of clothing, towels and linens up to 33%. Without hard water
service issues, washing machines last longer, too.
In the Kitchen:
Dishes will clean up more easily, and be spot free, without the gray
film glasses get when etched by mineral-laden water. Plus hands will
feel softer and look better.
Throughout the House: Water-using
appliances will last longer and run better. Why? Because hot water
heaters, washing machines and dishwashers used with hard water can
wear out 30% faster.
How much
maintenance does a water softener require?
Water softeners are self maintaining. They measure the amount of water
used and regenerate by back flushing and running salt through the
system to remove the hardness minerals. All you need to do is add
salt once a month.
What is the difference between a water softener and a whole house
carbon treatment system?
A water softener is plumbed into the entry of the
house. It removes calcium and magnesium from the water and exchanges
it for sodium or potassium. The carbon reduces chlorine taste, odor, color from the water in your
sinks, showers, and faucets. If you are looking for 90-99% pure water
for your entire house, Whole house RO system is highly recommended.
