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attract-
edtotheionexchangeresinandanequalamountofsodium
ionsarebumpedoffintothewatersupply.Whenthewater
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issaturatedwithcalciumand
magnesium(hardwaterions)itmustberecharged.(2)Astrong
brinesolutionentersthetankandushesthecalciumandmag-
nesiumionsofftheionexchangeresinandattachesitself.
3. Analrinseprocessensuresthatanyunusedbrineisrinsed
fromthesystemandyour(1) watersoftenerisnowfullyre-
chargedandreadytoprovideyouwithsoftwater.
