Water Softening Cartridge Filters
IWE’s water softening cartridges utilise FDA Grade sodium based strongly acidic ion exchange resin which reduces calcium and magnesium ions in water content. Calcium and magnesium are often called “hardness minerals”. Large amounts of these ions in water are responsible for the formation of scale deposits, higher detergent consumption and stains on glassware. In extreme cases large amounts of calcium and magnesium can lead to glass etching.
Hard water damages home appliances such as kettles, dishwashers and washing machines, and increases their energy consumption. Hard water leaves an invisible film on skin which block pores. This in turn causes chapping, itching and dryness. Softened water contains almost no calcium and magnesium. It enables people to use lesser quantities of soap, shampoo and skin care products. Moreover, detergent consumption is reduced. Water softening cartridges can be used in every POU application where soft water is required.
