The following must be considered when sizing a water softening system: 1. Flow rate (gallons per minute) 2. Influent water hardness (grains per gallons) 3. Usage (gallons per day) 4. Hours of operation 5. Economics 6. Physics 7. Flow rate In general, it is best to base the size of...
When a water softener is recharging, it is designed to disconnect from the water system, so it is basically out of commission. For this reason, the regeneration cycle is usually set to occur at night. If softened water is needed during the regeneration cycle, this can be problematic. Dual-...
Water softener systems (often misspelled “water softner systems“) are products that solve hard water problems. Hard water is simply water that is rich in minerals such as calcium, magnesium carbonate, and manganese. If you find that soap and shampoo don’t lather well, dishes have spots, th...
If you have hard water, a water softener is the solution to spotty dishes, dry skin and limescale buildup in pipes and appliances. Here’s how just one system can dramatically improve your water. SOFTENING: AN OVERVIEW Resin beads hold sodium. Hard water flows through the resin beads Sodium...
So why do you load up water softeners with salt if the plastic beads do all the work? Over several cycles, calcium and magnesium replace all of the sodium in the beads, after which the unit can no longer soften water. To fix this problem, the softener enters a regeneration cycle during...
Hard water can destroy plumbing and damage your clothes. But a good water softener system can be your fix.

northern Utah, so we’ve been there for countless properties in need of a replacement unit. There’s a lot that people need to keep in mind when it comes to water softener upkeep, and these plumbing appliances truly are a game-changer due to the overall hardness of our municipal water ...
In our sketch we show the pathway of the building water supply when the water softener is in service, delivering softened water to the building:incoming "hard" water flows through the resin tank where it is treated or softened, and soft water flows out of the resin tank into the building'...
with your weekly washing routine, but this just isn’t feasible and is slowing the process. Good airflow is the key to drying indoors, allowing water to evaporate and move around the room rather than sitting stagnant in the air. The question is, how do you do this without cracking a ...
