Contact SupplierIn this system hard water is converted info soft water. Thus the calcium and magnesium ions responsible for the hardness in the water are replaced by the less harmful and acceptable sodium ion thereby making the water soft. As there is an exchange of cations with a preference for the sodium ion, a cation exchange resin in the sodium form is used in the process. The conventional resin employed for the softening process is the strong acid cation (SAC) resin the sodium form. Althought there is a reduction in the hardness of water, there is an equivalent increase in the sodium. Thus the total ions in water remain unaltered.
