How Does A Water Softener Work?
1. Hard water enters your water softener (1) and passes
down through the ion exchange resin, which are
charged with sodium ions. The hard water ions
(calcium and magnesium) are attracted to the ion
exchange resin and an equal amount of sodium ions
are bumped off into the water supply. When the wa-
ter reaches the bottom of the tank, it is softened and
ready to be used in your home and business.
2. When the ion exchange resin for the tank in service is
saturated with calcium and magnesium (hard water
ions) it must be recharged. The controller automati-
cally places the “stand-by unit” tank into service and
switches the tank that is in need of recharging into
regeneration. (2) A strong brine solution enters the
tank and flushes the calcium and magnesium ions off
the ion exchange resin and attaches itself.
3. A final rinse process ensures that any unused brine
is rinsed from the system. This tank is now fully
recharged and placed on stand-by, ready to provide
you with soft water when the other tank becomes
exhausted.
