Water Softeners

What is hard water?
Water containing calcium and magnesium is called hard water because it turns cleaning into hard labor and generally makes your life "harder." The hardness minerals build up inside your kettle, water heater, appliances, plumbing fixtures and pipes. They react with soap to form a scum or curd, creating all kinds of problems.

Hard water is more than a nuisance. It's like having a sneak thief in your home, constantly stealing your hard earned money.

How does a water softener work?
Water softeners contain resin beads, that are charged with sodium ions. As hard water passes through the resin bed, the minerals attach to the softening beads.

When the beads become saturated with hardness minerals, they are automatically regenerated. A brine solution is drawn into the resin bed to drive out the accumulated minerals. The minerals and brine are rinsed away with fresh water and the resin is ready to soften your water again.
