How do I treat Hard Water?

There are a few options available to those wishing to treat hard water:
The most proper system is the Ion Exchange Water Softener - a Softener with system of Resins and Salts.

This system can be of two types:

• Volumetric (it works in base to the flow that passes in that moment),
• with Timer (it works with timer pre-set cycles).

The Cabin types are the most proper for the domestic use both for a functional and aesthetic sense.
The salt's tank (vat brine) and the resins cylender are both included in the cabin.
In the upper part, protected from a cover, is located the motorized valve
that allows to realize the procedure of softening, that presents the heart of the system.
They are completely automatic equipments that transform the water's hardness,
composed by calcium salts and magnesium, in soluble salts of sodium not furring.

This transformation, called Softening,
is the results of the passage of the water throught a bed of a particular strong cationic resin,
selected for a long duration (it lasts also 10 years) and a small consumption of regenerating (sodium chloride),
that is necessary for the reactivation.
Hard-water rich in calcium ions (CA) and magnesium (Mg) express as calcium carbonate or calcium oxide.
The elevated technology of the valve permit to reach great capacities of exercise
with consequent decrease of the pressure drop.
All the systems are equip with check-valve at the inner and hardness mixer.
A valve placed into the salt vat optimize the sodium chloride consumption.

Ion exchange is the most common technology used in household applications.
If you are considering the purchase of an ion exchange water softener,
you can use the following calculation to determine the size of the unit you will require.
Before trying to make the calculation,
you will need to have your water supply tested for harness, iron and manganese levels.

Some Benefits of a Water Softner:

Last longer plants, lower costs of maintenance, lower power costs, lower consumptions of detergent,
better quality of the water for the crockery, the linen, the cooking and the hygiene.
