Water Softening Plant

A water softener reduces the dissolved calcium, magnesium, and to some degree manganese and ferrous iron ion concentration in hard water. These “hardness ions” cause three major kinds of undesired effects.Home water softeners, also called ion exchange units, are appliances that remove calcium, magnesium, and other minerals from drinking water. Resin beads inside the softener trap the calcium and magnesium and exchange them for sodium or potassium.Water softening is usually achieved using lime softening or ion-exchange resins but is increasingly being accomplished using nanofiltration or reverse osmosis membranes.Soft water has the advantage of feeling soft to the touch and, due to its low mineral content, does not damage appliances as much as hard water, thus extending the life of your plumbing. It's excellent for your hair and skin, resulting in less dryness and skin breakouts.
