The water softener softens hard water through ion exchange.
Calcium and magnesium ions in natural water are the main causes of hard water, and they are prone to scale formation. The Water Softener is equipped with resin beads, which are negatively charged and adsorb sodium ions. When hard water flows through the resin, calcium and magnesium ions with stronger positive charges will replace the sodium ions on the resin and combine with the resin. The replaced sodium ions flow out with the water, resulting in "soft" water.

When the resin is fully adsorbed with calcium and magnesium ions, the water softener can no longer work. Regeneration is required at this time. The regeneration process uses a dilute sodium chloride (brine) solution to rinse the resin. Although the sodium ions have a weaker charge, the high concentration of sodium ions will re-replace the calcium and magnesium ions on the resin, allowing the resin to restore its ability to adsorb sodium ions and prepare for the next softening cycle.
In short, the harm of hard water brings great inconvenience to people's production and life. To obtain high-quality softened water, a thorough and comprehensive solution is needed. The water softener is our first choice for solving the hard water problem!
