Water Softeners Explained.
Water hardness is caused by high levels of calcium or magnesium being present in the water.
If a water softener is not installed high levels of magnesium and calcium will cause two main problems.
Hard water will cause "scale" to form on the inside of pipes, boilers and heating systems. The calcium and magnesium precipitate out of the water and adhere to anything metalic.
The scale does not conduct heat very well causing effiency of the equipment or system to be reduced and it also reduces the flow through any pipework
The solution to hard water is to remove the scale building magnesium and calcium, This can be done by one of two methods,1 reverse osmosis filtration. 2 Installation of a water softener.
A water softener works by replacing the calcium and magnesium ions with sodium ions by passing it through a water softener resin bed.
Because the sodium does not precipitate out in pipes or hot water systems the problem of hard water is eliminated. For a softener to undertake ion replacement, the water runs through a bed of small plastic beads or through a chemical matrix called water softener ion exchange media or resin.. The softener resin beads are coated with sodium ions. As water flows past the sodium ions, they exchange with the calcium and magnesium ions. Eventually the water softener ion exchange resin contains only calcium and magnesium and no sodium, this point is known as the saturation point and the ion exchange process will cease.
At saturation point the water softener will go into a regeneration cycle. The regeneration cycle of a softener will take upto 2 hours.If the water softener is required to soften water 24 hours a day it is neccarcery to install a duplex water softener. A duplex water softener consists of two ion exchange vessels and whilst one vessel regenerates the other goes online giving soft water to service constantly.If soft water is not required 24 hours a day a simplex water softener can be installed.A simplex water softener will be set to regenerate at night when water demand is low. A simplex water softener has an automatic bypass which will pass raw water only whilst in a regeneration cycle.
A Regeneration cycle involves soaking the softener ion exchange resin a stream of sodium ions. Salt (sodium chloride), is used to make up a very strong brine solution which is then flushed through the softener. The strong salt solution or brine displaces all of the calcium and magnesium that has built up in the water softeners ion exchange resin and replaces it again with sodium. The remaining brine complete with all of the calcium and magnesium is washed out of the softener vessel through a drain pipe. The water softener will then pass raw water through the ion exchange resins to remove all of the excess sodium, calcium and magnesium to the drain.
