Surprisingly, over three-quarters of households throughout the United States currently have hard water. The odds are that you likely have it, too. While hard water isn’t toxic, it can take a toll on your home and body. You don’t want to keep dealing with hard water, which can cause sediment buildup in your plumbing pipes and water heater and leave your skin and hair overly dry and freezing.
There are various components that make up a water softener system:
Brine tank
Resin beads
Resin tank
Float and valve assembly
Salt
A water softener system is installed right after your home’s main water supply valve. This allows it to remove excess minerals from your water before it enters the different fixtures and appliances throughout your home. While there are some slight variations in water softener styles, they pretty much all work the same way.
Water enters the resin tank, which has many resin beads charged with sodium ions. As the high mineral content water flows through these resin beads, the minerals switch places with the sodium ions. This means they attach to the resin beads, releasing the remaining sodium into the water. Since there is no longer a higher mineral content in the water, it’s known to be soft. This soft water exits the water softener and goes to your home’s many appliances and plumbing fixtures.
Every so often, the resin beads undergo a brine rinse cycle. During this cycle, a special brine mixture flows through the resin tank. This mixture causes the hard minerals to release from the resin beads and allows sodium to attach to them. The remaining mineral-rich brine water exits your water softener through its drain.
