How Does a Water Softener Work?

Is it necessary to have soft water?  That depends on what a homeowner wants for the household. By not having a water softener in your home, you put your plumbing, appliances, and dishware at risk for dense, flaky buildup.  An initial reaction would be, ‘So?’  Or ‘What difference does that make?’

What Impact Hard Water Can Make

Hard water allows the minerals and metals to develop a scaly residue whatever it touches.  That residue builds and begins to clog plumbing.  As it grows and thickens, it restricts water flow and water pressure.  The scaly coating starts appearing on showerheads and faucets, hoses on appliances; it causes new clothing to appear dull, dishes and skin are coated.  It doesn’t materialize overnight but, it will happen at a substantial cost to the homeowner, and it seems to happen at the most inopportune time.

The Process of Water Softening

If a water softener is installed, the above can be prevented.  How?  By a process called ion exchange.

It is an easy process to create but difficult to describe. This is a very elementary version of what takes place. Picture a barnacle-encrusted ship at sea; the ship is a molecule of water, those barnacles represent the ‘minerals in hard water.’  The ship is sailing to its new owner, and the current owner wants it to look its best.  Imagine there is a place in the sea with tiny resin beads.  The ship sails through the resin beads and all the barnacles are knocked off.  The science guys call this an ion exchange.  Now, the ship is clean and sails on its way.

What happens when all the resin beads are dirty and full of barnacles?  The salt bought for the water softener is now ready to go to work.  The dirty resin beads are pushed through a brine tank.  It is the salt that cleans the beads and gets them prepared for the next ship.
