Water Softener

The process is called ion exchange. The heart of a water softener is a mineral tank Water softeners have a separate brine tank that uses common salt to create this brine solution. In normal operation, hard water moves into the mineral tank and the calcium and magnesium ions move to the beads, replacing sodium ions. Water softening is a technique that serves the removal of the ions that cause the water to be hard, in most cases calcium and magnesium ions. Iron ions may also be removed during softening A water softener is a unit that is used to soften water, by removing the minerals that cause the water to be hard.
