WHAT IS A WATER SOFTENER?
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 the softening process. The best way to soften water is to use a water softener unit that connects directly to the main water supply of the house.

FAQs
When water contains a significant amount of calcium and magnesium, it is called hard water. Hard water is known to clog pipes and hot water tanks and complicates soap and detergent dissolving in water. A water softener is thus recommended whenever hard water is an issue.
A water softener is composed of a mineral tank and a backflush tank. It collects hardness minerals within its conditioning tank and from time to time flushes them away to drain. Ion exchangers (usually resin beads in today’s water softeners) are used for water softening. When water runs through an ion exchanger, the exchanger replaces the calcium and magnesium ions in the water with other ions such as sodium or potassium. The result of our advanced water softener technology is healthier, smoother water for you and your family, while still maintaining an efficient flow rate.

Chloramine is a combination of ammonia and chlorine that is commonly used to disinfect municipal water supplies. In high levels, it can be very corrosive to lead water lines and copper piping. Chloramine could also have side effects for people and fish.
A water softener collects hardness minerals within its conditioning tank and from time to time flushes them away to drain. Ion exchangers like resin beads are often used for water softening. When an ion exchanger is applied for water softening, it replaces the calcium and magnesium ions in the water with other ions such as sodium or potassium.
