Water Softener

Water softeners work by using an ion exchange process, where the hard minerals are replaced with sodium ions. The water flows through a resin bed that contains small plastic beads that are coated with sodium ions. As the water passes through the resin bed, the hard minerals attach to the resin beads, and the sodium ions are released into the water. The softened water then flows out of the water softener and into the home’s plumbing system.
