Remove Hardness From Your Water With The Space Saver Water Softeners

How water softeners work

The process whereby hardness minerals are removed from your water is described below:

1. Water flows through the resin bed.
2. As water flows through the ion exchange resin, hardness minerals (Calcium & Magnesium) are attracted to the resin and are removed from the water.
3. Eventually, the resin reaches its capacity and the resin must be cleaned. (This process is called “regeneration”.)
4. The control valve initiates the “cleaning process”, based on gallons used (not time).
5. During the cleaning process, brine water flows through the resin and the hardness minerals become attached to the sodium in the brine water.
6. After a period of time, the resin is rinsed so no salt will get into your water.
