awhole house water filtrationwith its patented self-cleaning dirt and sediment filter, so both the dissolved rock and dirt and sediment are sent down the drain. With the resin beads “recharged,” the water softener goes back to service, providing the whole house with clean, soft water. ...
This type of water softener cycles household water through two tanks: one with special resin beads and the other filled with brine. It works on the principle of ion exchange, softening hard water by substituting sodium (salt) for hard minerals such as calcium, magnesium, and iron. For a com...
Turning Hard Water Soft Brine Solution, Resin Beads, and Sodium Ions Why Get a Water Softener? How do all those numbers affect you? Hard water causes two problems: Dissolved calcium and magnesium precipitate out of hard water as scale, which builds up on the insides of pipes, water heate...
The ion-exchange water softener allows the hard water to pass through the resin beads. These human-made resin beads contain a negative charge, whereas the minerals like calcium and magnesium are positively charged. When these positive charge minerals and resin come in contact with each other, the...
Modern water softeners are very reliable and virtually maintenance-free. Other than occasionally adding pellets to the brine tank, there’s not much for the homeowner to do. However, it’s recommended that the system be tuned up and inspected once a year by the contractor who installed it. ...

How Does a Salt Water Softener Work? One of the biggest misconceptions about water softeners is that the salt is what softens your water. What actually softens the water are thousands of tiny resin beads within the tank that filter out hard water chemicals. The salt is used to clean the ...
This type of filter is also called a water softener. It pulls hard minerals such as calcium and magnesium from the water by passing it through a tank full of resin beads in brine. There the calcium and magnesium ions are exchanged for sodium ions. This prevents limescale from building up ...
