How Your Water
Softener Turns Hard Water into Soft Water |
The principle behind water softening
is really just simple chemistry. A water softener contains
resin beads which hold electrically charged ions. When hard
water passes through the softener, calcium and magnesium ions
are attracted to the charged resin beads. It's the resulting
removal of calcium and magnesium ions that produces soft water.
The diagram shows the exchange that takes place during the
water softening process.
