Water Softening Plant

Description

Water Softening Plant is made using latest technology and is available in many specifications as per the customer's requirements. A water softener system is a unit that is used to soften water, by removing the minerals that cause the water to be hard. Water is considered 'hard' when it has excessive levels of calcium and magnesium dissolved in it. Hard water can lead to the following water problems: · Scale build-up in pipes, resulting in decreased flow rates.
· Increased laundry costs due to hard water reacting with soap and laundry detergents.

Most water softeners on the market operate on an "ion exchange" system. This is where hardness ions (calcium and magnesium) are exchanged for sodium (salt) or potassium (salt) ions. This takes place within the resin tank of the water softener. When water flows through the tank it comes in contact with small resin beads that are covered with sodium or potassium ions. As the water flows through the resin beads, the calcium and magnesium ions trade places with the sodium ions. That is why softened water becomes higher in salt content. Eventually as larger volumes of water is softened the beads become exhausted and contain nothing but calcium and magnesium, thus requiring recharge. That is why you need to put bags of salt in the brine tank. The brine tank is either beside the resin tank or is packaged together with the resin tank as a single unit. Recharging the mineral tank works exactly the same way as softening the water except in reverse. The calcium and magnesium again swap with sodium or potassium rich solution from the brine tank, and the excess minerals are rinsed into the wastewater drain.
