Water Softners

A water softener is a kind of filtration system that removes hardness-causing calcium and magnesium minerals from your water through a process called ion exchange.
A water softener addresses one of the most prevalent and devastating water problems: Scale builds up in your pipes, clogging them and decreasing water pressure. Scale dramatically shortens the lifespan of systems like Steam Boilers, hot water heaters, dishwashers, and coffee makers.
Hard water destroys hot water appliances. The higher the temperature of the water, the more calcium and magnesium will solidify and harden into solid deposits inside your hot water heaters. This is because scale will be attached to the heating element resulting in isolation of heat, reducing the efficiency of heating and increasing the power needed to heat water.

How do Water Softeners Work?

Water softeners work through a process called ion exchange which eliminates calcium and magnesium from the water. 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 system.
