Water is considered “hard” if it contains a considerable amount of dissolved calcium and or magnesium.  When hard water is heated, the calcium and magnesium precipitates out of the water and adheres to the water heater and pipes. It reacts with soap and forms scum and reduces the ability for soap to do its job. The scum collects on tub or shower walls and it’s a chore to keep those clean. You can’t reach inside the water heater or pipes and eventually premature failure of these items occur. 
 

The operation of a water softener is simple. It’s an ion exchange process. The calcium and magnesium ions in the water are replaced with sodium ions. Since sodium does not precipitate out in pipes or react badly with soap, both of the hard water problems are eliminated. 

To do the ion replacement, the water flows through a bed of small plastic beads called zeolite. The beads or zeolite are covered with sodium ions. As the water flows past the sodium ions, they swap places with the calcium and magnesium ions. Eventually, the beads or zeolite contain nothing but calcium and magnesium and no sodium, and at this point they stop softening the water. It is then time to regenerate the beads or zeolite. 

Regeneration involves soaking the zeolite in a stream of sodium ions. Salt is sodium chloride, so the water softener mixes up a very strong brine solution and flushes it through the zeolite  (this is why you load up a water softener with salt). The strong brine displaces all of the calcium and magnesium that has built up in the zeolite and replaces it again with sodium. The remaining brine plus all of the calcium and magnesium is flushed out through a drain pipe.  

Whether its chlorine removal, sediment removal, filtration, acidic water, reverse osmosis for pure drinking water or any other water quality problem, it can be solved with the quality products we have available. Save time, money, trouble by treating the water you are already paying for instead of buying bottled water.
