| Water Softeners |
Water that's good for
you and your home.
Water softeners are used to treat hard water. They work by
replacing the calcium and magnesium in the water with sodium.
They may also remove a small amount of iron or manganese, but
for high levels, it is not recommended.
Water softeners will generally require a professional
installation, and they are relatively expensive to both purchase
and maintain.
 A
water softening system can enhance the quality of water
throughout the home, from the kitchen to the bath. Take a
look at a few of the ways your family can benefit from soft
water ...
• Towels washed in water softened by water softeners need 1/3 less
detergent and come out 45% whiter.
•
Clothes are softer, cleaner, brighter and last longer.
•
Dishes are cleaner with less soap and hard water spotting.
•
Tubs, showers and sinks are easier to clean, thanks to reduced
hard water build-up.
•
Soft water will feel noticeably smoother to your skin.
How A Softener Works
A standard whole-house softener works on the principal of ion
exchange, termed "cation exchange". It conditions hard
water by substituting sodium chloride (salt) for the hardness
minerals such as calcium, magnesium and iron.
Inside a cation-exchange softener, the house water supply flows
through plastic-like beacs called "resin", arranged in columns
called "resin beds" that reside in the "resin tank". These
beads attract mineral ions of hard water while fiving off sodium
ions. To periodically recharge the beads with sodium ions,
they are flushed with salt water (brine), a process that removes
the hard mineral ions from the resin and discharges them as
waste. Once excess sodium is rinsed away, the cycle begins
again.
 A
typical softener has a resin tank, resin bed, brine tank and
some type of control. The resin tank is a container for
the resin bed. The beads that make up the resin bed are
typically made from styrene and divinylbenzene. The brine
tank is filled with water and dissolved salt used for
regenerating the resin beads. The unit's flow and
regeneration processes are handled by the control.
