WATER SOFTENERS 

What is “hard water”?

Hard water is a term referring to water that contains a high concentration of minerals, lime, scale, rust and other dissolved solids. Although hard water is not necessarily considered detrimental to your over all heath, it can still adversely effect the quality of a person’s or a pet’s skin barrier, just from coming in contact with one another. In addition to the obvious effects on the skin, there are a number issues that can cost you time and money to clean or make repairs, as a result of mineral deposits, residue left behind by detergents, and soap scum buildup in the bathroom and in the kitchen. A few additional disadvantages you face when owning a home with a hard water supply are scale build-up and mineral deposits on and around fixtures, soap scum visible on glass, steel and on appliances, pipe damage and corrosion due to mineral buildup, and irritated, dry skin or dull, brittle hair. 

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, crystalline 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.

WATER CONDITIONERS 

A water conditioner is essentially a water softener, but with an added active-carbon to help mitigate harmful chemicals used to treat city water such as chlorine and ammonia, heavy metals like mercury and lead, as well as protection from PFOA, PFOC. In addition to the aforementioned chemicals, metals and pollutants; minerals like calcium and magnesium, lime, rust, and other dissolved solids present in local city water supplies can cause your water feel harsh, have adverse side effects on your health and leave mineral deposits and build-up on your fixtures and in your pipes. 


As the population grows in Florida and around the world, the need for clean water increases as well. As a result of this increase, the amount of chlorine, ammonia and chloramines utilized by city and municipality water treatment facilities, increases as well. In addition to the increase in use of these chemicals to treat city water supplies, the amount of heavy metals, PFOAs, PFOCs and other pollutants present in city water, have significantly increased over the past 5-10 years. In response to these changes, Water Purification Solutions has the ability to tailor a number of unique, mixed media bed options to fit the specific needs of your home water supply.  Based on the results of your FREE Water Test, we build a result specific system consisting of zeolite softening resin and either catalytic carbon, cocalytic carbon, or activated carbon to meet your home’s specific needs.
