Water Softeners
The Purpose of a Water Softener
The water softener is an important part of your water treatment system. The main purpose of a water softener is to remove the iron and hardness minerals from your water. As the Water flows through the water softeners, iron particles attach themselves to the cation resin beads inside of the softener tank. Once your tank filters a certain amount of water the softener will clean itself by rinsing the tank with salt water to oxidize the iron particles. This process is called ion exchange, once the softener is cleaned the backwash water is flushed to an outside sewer line, drywell, or septic. With the back pressure of the well pump and brine solution your softener is ready for its next filtering cycle.
