WATER SOFTENERS
What Is A Water Softener and How Does It Work?
Minerals like calcium and magnesium are majorly made up of positively charged molecules, and the softening resin used in our water softening systems are made up of negatively charged molecules. All of our softeners are made with only the highest quality Zeolite softening resin. Zeolites are microporous, crystallin aluminosilicate materials commonly used as absorbents and catalysts. The softener uses a patented ion exchange process to exploit the charge difference in the molecules that traps and stores the unwanted minerals, until a designated time or until a certain amount of water is used, at which point the control valve automatically triggers a cleaning cycle commonly referred to as a regen or regeneration cycle. The regeneration cycle first uses fresh water to backwash the softening resin and/or other media in the contact tank, which when concluded, triggers the control valve to draw the brine (water that has been saturated with salt ions) into the contact tank, at which point the ion exchange process releases the unwanted molecules from the softening resin/media, and ultimately completes the regen cycle with rinsing those unwanted molecules and waste down the drain, and into the ground or connected drain. The end result is constant supply of silky smooth, detergent/soap efficient and clean water out of every fixture in your home.
