Impure water can cause a wide range of expensive and disruptive problems to your company. Ensuring you know whether or not your water is safe for human consumption is a legal requirement that usually rests with the owner of the building. Ensure you have fresh, clean water for your commercial Factory building and stay within the law.
We provide a wide range water purifying system like WTP, WWTP and R.O. Plant.
One of the most popular and effective water softeners is a salt-based softener. This type of softener removes hardness-causing minerals like calcium and magnesium from the water through a process called ion exchange.
In this instance, the calcium and magnesium minerals are completely eliminated from the water and replaced by sodium.
In order for this to happen, you must use water softener salt with your system.
What is water softener salt and what does it do?
Water softener salt is the sodium that is needed for the ion exchange process to take place.
The salt is stored in a tank in the system, then broken down during water softening, leaving just sodium (note that salt in its complete form is referred to as sodium chloride).
The ion exchange process takes place in a tank containing negatively charged resin beads. Because the calcium and magnesium minerals in hard water have a positive charge, they are attracted to the resin beads. The resin beads pull the minerals through and trap them, facilitating ion exchange.
Once the resin is full of hard water minerals, the water softener salt can get to work.
Salt water, which is also positively charged, runs through the resin tank. The sodium breaks free from the chloride and binds to the resin. This forces the calcium and magnesium ions to break away from the resin, where they’re flushed away out of the tank’s system.
What’s left is water that contains only sodium ions and no calcium or magnesium: soft water.
Sodium doesn’t cause any of the hard water issues that calcium and magnesium are known for, and there’s only a very minimal amount added to your water during the ion exchange process.
All water contains varying amounts of sodium to begin with, but the amount that’s needed for salt-based softening depends on the hardness of your water. Hard water that contains more calcium and magnesium minerals will require more sodium for ion exchange.
