How Does a Water Softener Work?
Water softeners work using a resin bed and ion exchange process:
01/ Water flows into the softener
Hard water enters the softener and passes through a bed of resin beads.
02/Ion Exchange Stage
The resin beads are charged with sodium or potassium ions. As hard water passes through, the calcium and magnesium ions are attracted to the resin
03/Soft water exits
The now softened water, free of calcium and magnesium, exits the softener, ready for use
04/Regeneration cycle
After some time, the resin becomes saturated with calcium and magnesium. The system flushes a saltwater (brine) solution through.
