I. Product Introduction

Water softening equipment, that is, equipment that reduces water hardness, mainly removes calcium and magnesium ions in water. When the incoming water is deep well water or the hardness of the water source is very high, the function of using softening water equipment is to remove the calcium and magnesium ions in the water. , reducing calcium and magnesium ions in water. In the process of softening water, softening water equipment cannot reduce the total salt content in water. It is widely used in hot water boiler systems, heat exchange systems, industrial cooling systems, central air conditioning systems and other water equipment systems.

II. Working Process

  1. Raw Water Inlet: Untreated raw water flows into the ion exchange tank through the water inlet of the device, and the tank is filled with sufficient ion exchange resin.

  2. Ion Exchange: As the water passes through the resin layer, calcium (Ca²⁺), magnesium (Mg²⁺), and other ions in the water react with sodium ions (Na⁺) on the resin through a substitution reaction, and are thus adsorbed and removed, reducing the water hardness.

  3. Soft Water Output: The softened water that has completed the ion exchange flows out from the water outlet and enters the water - using system.

  4. Resin Regeneration: When the calcium and magnesium ions adsorbed by the resin reach saturation, the device automatically initiates the regeneration process. By injecting a high - concentration brine (sodium chloride solution), the calcium and magnesium ions on the resin are replaced by sodium ions and discharged with the waste water, restoring the resin's exchange capacity for the next round of softening.


III. Product Features

Key AdvantagesDescription
High - efficiency Softening CapacityUsing high - quality ion exchange resin, the hourly processing capacity of a single device ranges from 1 - 100 tons, with the effluent hardness ≤0.03mmol/L.
Intelligent Automatic ControlEquipped with a PLC control system, it can automatically monitor water hardness and resin saturation, enabling automatic regeneration without the need for manual supervision.
Low Operating CostsThe regeneration process consumes only a small amount of industrial salt and water, reducing energy consumption by 30% compared to similar devices and significantly saving usage costs.
Long Service LifeThe resin has strong anti - pollution ability, with a service life of over 8 - 10 years under normal conditions, reducing the hassle of frequent replacements.
Flexible CustomizationSupports single - tank, double - tank, or multi - tank parallel designs, allowing for personalized selection according to water demand, site space, and budget.

VI. FAQ

  1. How often does the water softener need to be regenerated?
    The regeneration cycle depends on factors such as raw water hardness and water consumption. Generally, a single - tank device regenerates once every 10 - 50 tons of water treated, and double - tank devices can operate alternately to achieve uninterrupted water supply.

  2. Can softened water be drunk directly?
    Softened water mainly removes calcium and magnesium ions and cannot remove harmful substances such as bacteria and heavy metals. It is recommended to use it with purification devices such as reverse osmosis before drinking.

  3. Do I need professional personnel for equipment installation?
    Equipment installation requires connecting inlet and outlet pipelines, salt tanks, and power sources. It is recommended to be operated by professional technicians to ensure pipeline sealing and electrical safety.

VII. Conclusion

The water softener stands out as a core device for solving hard water problems in industrial and domestic fields, thanks to its efficient ion exchange technology, intelligent automatic control, and wide applicability. Whether it is to ensure stable industrial production or improve domestic living quality, requirements can be met through reasonable selection and configuration. In the future, with the increasing demand for water and energy conservation, water softeners will continue to optimize regeneration efficiency and intelligent levels, providing green and efficient water solutions for more users.
