Water Softener

How Does A Water Softener Work?

1.Hard water enters your water softener (1) and passes down through the ion exchange resin, which are charged with sodium ions. The hard water ions (calcium and magnesium) are attract- ed to the ion exchange resin and an equal amount of sodium ions are bumped off into the water supply. When the water reaches the bottom of the tank, it is softened and ready to be used in your home and business.

2.When the ion exchange resin is saturated with calcium and magnesium (hard water ions) it must be recharged. (2) A strong brine solution enters the tank and flushes the calcium and mag- nesium ions off the ion exchange resin and attaches itself.

3.A final rinse process ensures that any unused brine is rinsed from the system and your (1) water softener is now fully re- charged and ready to provide you with soft water.
