Home water softner has what is called a "resin tank" which is made up of minute beads of sodium ions. As the water enters the resin tank, the sodium ions attract the calcium and magnesium ions and swap places with them, making the water mineral free and soft. When the sodium ions run out, a water softener control valve goes into action and transfers the collected magnesium and calcium ions into a brine (salt) tank, which is also a part of the water softner. The brine tank drains out the magnesium and calcium ions present in the resin tank and replaces them with sodium ions. The result is that the water is cleaner, does not clog up the appliances with mineral residues, increases the appliance life by making them do the same amount of work in a shorter time and more efficiently, and it makes your clothes feel softer. A water softener is used for appliances such as washing machine, dishwasher and water heater. Types of Home Water Softener SystemsThere are two types of home water softners available:1. Automatic softeners: Automatic softeners come equipped with a timer that controls the ion regeneration process, usually at night. 2. Demand initiated regeneration (DIR): These systems run on autopilot mode; everything is planned and the softener does what it has to do depending on the usage of water. How to Choose a Home Water SoftenerIt is important that every home must choose a water softener system best suited to its requirement.A home water softener is not something you should pluck off the shelf; rather, you must first study your requirements and match them with the softeners available in the market. Here's how you do it:
The grains of hardness come to about 10 grains/gallon and that makes it 2400 grains of hardness that need to be filtered out daily. Accordingly, such a family should choose a softener system whose recharging time cycle matches their requirements. 2. Choose a water softener that's easy to clean. 3. The softener system must be backed by a solid warranty and dealer service. 4. The level of convenience required should also be kept in mind before buying a softener. Accordingly, an automatic or a DIR machine can be chosen. 5. There must be no hurry to buy a softener – you must try out, get references and recommendations and investigate all before buying a system. 6. The dealer must be reputed, the manufacturer must have a name in the market and the product must carry a seal of approval from a government agency.
