Water softeners are designed to remove minerals from the water. Hard water contains a high concentration of minerals, including calcium and magnesium. When these minerals are heated, they bond together and form limescale. Limescale can build up in your appliances and plumbing, causing them to wear out faster and require more frequent repairs.
Water softeners use a process called ion exchange to remove the minerals from the water. The water softener contains a tank filled with resin beads that are coated with sodium or potassium ions. When the water passes through the tank, the minerals in the water are attracted to the resin beads and stick to them. The water that leaves the tank is free of minerals and is considered soft.
There are many benefits to installing a water softener in your home. Water softeners can help you save money on your water and energy bills by reducing the amount of soap and detergent you use. Soft water is also gentler on your skin and hair and can help to reduce dryness and irritation. Water softeners can also help to extend the lifespan of your appliances and plumbing and reduce the number of repairs they need.
Some of the other benefits of water softeners include:
Water softeners are relatively low-maintenance, but they do require some maintenance to keep them running smoothly. The most important thing you can do to keep your water softener running smoothly is to keep it clean. The resin beads in the water softener can become coated with minerals and other impurities and need to be cleaned periodically. To clean the resin beads, you can use a water softener cleaner or a mixture of bleach and water.
You should also check the salt level in the brine tank regularly and add salt as needed. The salt in the brine tank is used to regenerate the resin beads and keep them working properly. If the salt level in the brine tank is too low, the resin beads will not be able to remove the minerals from the water properly.
