Water Softener Devices
Water Softener Devices are ion exchange devices. These act by removal of the
hardness ions calcium and magnesium replacing them with non-hardness ions.
These softener devices contain a micro porous ion exchange resin bed. As
water passes through this bed, calcium and magnesium ions attract to the
resin beads and the loosely held non-hardness Ions released from the resin
into the water.

Working principle
To absorb the calcium and magnesium ions in the water with resin. As the hardness of the water is mainly formed and expressed by calcium and magnesium, the cation exchange resin (water softener)is generally used to replaceCa2 + and Mg2in the water The resin efficiency to removeca2 + and Mg2+ gradually reduces as ca2 + and Mg2 + in the resin increase. When the resin absorbs a certain amount of calcium and magnesium ions, it is necessary to be regenerated. In the regeneration process, the resin bed is flushed by saline in the salt box and hardness ions on the resin are replaced and discharged with recycled waste fluid, the resin’s function of softening exchange is recovered. The principle of sodium ion exchanging softening treatment is to use sodium cation exchange resin to exchange the hardness ingredients, Ca2 + and Mg2 +, in the raw water with Na + in the resin, absorbing Ca2 + and Mg2 + in the water, so that water gets softened.

FAQ:
1. How does a Water Softener work?
Basically, the resin or mineral inside the mineral tank is specially designed to remove "hard" particles of lime and calcium, by a simple ion exchange process. The resin beads inside the softener tank have a different or opposite electrical charge than the dissolved particles of the incoming water. Because of this electrical charge difference, the dissolved particles suspended in your water will cling to the resin beads on contact, thereby ridding the water of these particles, causing the water exiting the unit to be "soft". The resin has a limit to how much of these hardness particles it can hold, which is why there are many different sizes of softeners and also why regeneration or brining is required.
2. Will a Water Softener make my water safe to drink?
No. Your water must be safe to drink before you condition the water with a softener. If you are concerned about the safety of your drinking water, contact your local health department about getting a bacteria test, or full lab analysis on your water.
3. Why does soft water feel slimy or slick in the shower?
The minerals that make water hard usually contain calcium and magnesium. Calcium and magnesium in water interfere with the cleaning action of soap and detergent. They do this by combining with soap or detergent and forming a scum that does not dissolve in water. Because these minerals react with soap and detergent, they remove the soap and detergent, thereby reducing the effectiveness of these cleaning agents. You can overcome this by adding more soap or detergent. However, the scum that is formed can adhere to what is being washed, making it appear dingy. An automatic water softener connected to water supply pipes removes magnesium and calcium from water and replaces them with a trace amount of sodium. Sodium does not react with soap or detergents. This will reduce the amount of soap you would need to use, and insures it will not remain in or on the item being washed, whether the item is tile, glassware, clothes, skin or hair.
4. When do the resins in the softener tank need to be changed?
With the proper pretreatment and maintenance, the average water softener will not need its resins replaced in its lifetime (20 + years). It is impossible to accurately determine the life of resin since so many factors contribute to the degradation of the resin itself. Note: Proper pretreatment can be a simple as a sediment filter or as complex as chemical injection system combined with a multimedia bed, this is determined by having your water tested.
5. I see ads for "No Salt" needed water conditioners. How do they work without using salt?
Many dealers will advertise a no salt water conditioner. Any brand of water conditioner can be operated without using salt. This is done by using a salt substitute, potassium chloride. It generally more expensive compared to regular salt (sodium chloride), and can be difficult to find in some areas. Also, it is generally recommended you increase the salt setting on your control valve by about 10%, when using a salt substitute.
Some companies offer a variety of devices to soften your water that do not use salt, or anything else to regenerate their product. Buyers beware! If a cost effective and reliable technology had been developed that could replace a resin based water conditioner, then everyone would be selling it.
6. How often do I need to add salt to the Brine Tank?
It depends on how often your system needs to regenerate. The more your softener regenerates the more salt you will consume. As for the salt level in the brine tank, you can let the salt get down to the point inside the tank where you can see the water just above the salt. When you see water above the salt, it is time to add more! Generally, you will add salt to your brine tank about every 8 weeks.
