Water Softener Installation

A water softener is a device that releases hardness from water induced by calcium and magnesium ions. It functions by replacing these ions with sodium ions, reducing the water’s hardness. Water softeners are often established in homes and buildings where hard water can cause problems with plumbing, devices, and ranking. 

 It has several advantages: 

• Improving the service life of home devices and plumbing fixtures by preventing scale formation 
• Saving detergents when washing dishes 
• Improving the condition of skin and hair after contact with water 
• Reducing the price of fixing and replacing water heating equipment 
• Enhancing the taste of water and drinks made from it 

 The most typical method is the usage of ion-exchange resins. (It should be remembered that resins are destroyed when interacting with chlorine). Ion-exchange resin is an insoluble high-molecular compound. When softening, hard water passes via the ion-exchange resin in sodium form. It gives it its divalent calcium and magnesium ions, and the cationite absorbs them, giving the water monovalent sodium ions in return. Thus, the concentration of salts in the water does not decrease — their composition changes. Instead of hardness salts, sodium carbonates are present in the water, which are soluble and practically harmless. 

 Before purchasing, ask yourself a couple of inquiries. Do you truly require it? What problems do you desire to solve with it? 

If hard water flows from the tap, it always causes certain problems. This is visible to the naked eye by the following signs: 

• Limescale forms. When boiling, calcium and magnesium salts precipitate. As a consequence, insoluble compounds are formed, which settle on the base (they are clearly visible in an electric kettle). A similar process occurs in devices that come into contact with hot water—a boiler, a washing machine, or a dishwasher. Stains can also occur on the mixer tap and plumbing. 
• Detergents do not foam well. To wash dishes or clothes, you must spend much more money on powder, soap, etc. The reason is simple: foam is formed much worse than usual due to hard water. 
• The skin condition worsens. Taking a bath using hard water often causes peeling and dry skin. Of course, the reason may be various diseases or improperly selected cosmetics, but the water rate also plays a significant role. If you have one or more of these problems, it means it’s time to buy it for your home. 

Although the filter is unpretentious in maintenance, it requires scheduled maintenance, which includes: 

• Substituting the filler-ion interaction resin. 
• Setting up the control automation, where the hardness level and the purified liquid flow rate are set. 
• Removing blockages in the control automation. 
• Flushing the system. 
• Remove blockages in the channels for supplying the salt key. The tablet salt, which is operated for regeneration, can cake and interfere with the system’s operation. 
• State that the filter material can be replaced less than once every 5 years with careful operation, proper care, and timely service. Repair of the water softener may not be necessary at all. 

Although the equipment recommendations contain a detailed connection combination, its actual implementation may cause difficulties.
