Water Softeners, also often referred to as water softening systems or water softening equipment, can be defined as devices that are installed for the treatment and conversion of hard water into soft water at the Point of Entry (PoE) of water from public sources into households or the commercial or industrial units.
Salt Based Water Softeners remove the hard water minerals from water and leave with “soft water”. The process used in these systems is called “Ion exchange,” which removes magnesium and calcium minerals and replaces them with sodium, or salt. Salt-based water softeners require an electric metered valve to be mounted on a tank that runs water through a cleaning cycle. Inside the tank the water comes into contact with tiny salt -covered resin beads that replace the waters hard ions with salt ions. As the tank becomes full, it is recharged with new salt and excess minerals are flushed into the wastewater drain.
