A water softener system is a unit that is used to soften water, by removing the minerals that cause the water to be hard. Water softening is an important process, because the hardness of water in different applications is reduced during this process. Water softening is a key step in treating hard or raw water.
Better tasting water right out of the tap for cooking or entertaining
Healthier drinking water with water softener and water filter combo. Water filter can reduce negative effects of chlorine.
Water filtration eliminates the need for bottled water
High-quality products certified by the Water Quality Association (WQA) and NSF International (NSF).
A water softener removes calcium and magnesium from water through a process called ion exchange. When the hard water enters into the mineral tank, it flows through a bed of spherical resin beads. These plastic beads, usually made from polystyrene, are charged with a sodium ion. The resin beads are anions, meaning they have a negative charge. The calcium and magnesium minerals have a positive charge, making them cations. Since opposite charges attract, the negative charge of the minerals is attracted to the positive charge of the resin beads. As the hard water passes through the resin, the beads grab ahold of the mineral ions and remove them from the water. When the bead seizes the mineral ion, the sodium ion is released. The column of resin strips all the hardness out of the water as it passes through the mineral tank, and softened water flows out into your home.
