magnesium hardness cations come in contact with the ion exchange resin, they attach to the
resin and sodium cations are released into the water. This is possible because the hardness
cation are more attracted to the ion exchange resin than the sodium cations. Therefore, scale
forming calcium and magnesium cations have been exchanged for non-scale forming sodium
cations as the water is treated. If the calcium and magnesium content of the water is reduced to
less than 17.1 mg/L, that water is classified as soft water. Eventually the ion exchange resin will
become exhausted, depleted of sodium, and will need to be regenerated with a sodium brine
solution to restore its capacity to soften water. This system includes a flow meter to track treated
water volume and initiate the regeneration process before resin exhaustion occurs.
Regeneration occurs automatically and consists of 5 steps:
Step 1- Backwash: Approximate Duration 10 Minutes - Fresh water flow is directed upward
through the resin bed, to remove solid particles the resin bed has captured, sending
them to drain.
Step 2- Brine Draw: Approximate Duration 15-20 Minutes- Brine water is drawn from the
brine tank, rinsed over the ion exchange resin, driving away the calcium and
magnesium cations and restoring sodium cations within the resin. Calcium and
magnesium is sent to drain.
Step 3- Slow Rinse: Approximate Duration 40-45 Minutes - Once the brine tank is emptied
of brine water, fresh water will continue to rinse over the resin and rinse calcium and
magnesium cations to drain.
Step 4- Rapid Rinse: Approximate Duration 10 Minutes - After the conclusion of slow rinse,
fresh water will rinse over the resin to ensure any residual sodium brine has been
cleaned from the resin before it returns to service. At the conclusion of Rapid Rinse
systems
return to the “Stand By” position.
Step 5- Brine Tank Refill: Approximate Duration User Adjustable - In this final step of
regeneration, water is added back into the brine tank so that a brine solution can be
prepared for the next regeneration.
