How Do Water Softeners Work?

Water softeners are water treatment devices that soften water to remove unwanted minerals. Water softeners are filtering devices that remove minerals like magnesium and calcium. These minerals produce hardened water, which has a unique odor that is often detectable as an unpleasant smell throughout the home or building. Hard water minerals get removed as the water passes through the water softener. When the water passes through the softening system, it is much easier on the plumbing system as well as other home appliances.

If you’re looking for the best water softener for your space, our experts begin by determining the hardness of your current water supply to determine what would be the best softener. Grains per gallon is the standard unit of measurement. A brine tank is included in each water softening system. The brine tank holds all the salt. The water level in your water softener should always be a little lower than the level of salt in the brine tank. The water needs to come into contact with the salt to consume it and achieve the proper concentration of brine. As a result, the water softener’s tank is filled with hundreds of tiny beads, which we call “resin beads.” Hardness minerals bond to the resin beads when they come into contact with them. This removes the minerals needed to be removed as the water exits the tank.

4 Benefits of Water Softeners

Keeps Dishware Cleaner

Excess minerals in the water can cause spots on the bathtub, sink, dishes, faucets, and everything else your water contacts. These ugly stains are kept at bay by eliminating these elements from the water supply. It’s typical to observe a ring of dirt and grime encircling your sink and bathtubs since soap doesn’t rinse well with hard water. This soap will go down the drain much easier if you use softened water.

Saves Money

Soft water is free of the mineral ions that cause buildup in your plumbing system’s pipes and home appliances. This saves you money from costly repair bills. Mineral buildup in a pipe or drain narrows the available pathway for water to move through. This build-up requires higher pump pressure and progressively gets worse. It can also increase the amount of energy necessary to keep water hot or cold. The buildup eventually wreaks havoc on your appliances, which means repair or replacement costs for dishwashers, laundry machines, water heaters, ice makers and more.

Better Tasting Water

Although the purpose of a water softener and water purifier is about much more than flavor, one of the most common reasons a lot of people install them is to improve the taste of their water for drinking and cooking. Better-tasting water from the tap is one of the biggest advantages of putting a water filtration system and/or water softener. Food and beverages taste better when water is softened and/or purified.

Less Scale and Scum Buildup

Reducing calcium build-up and scale buildup is one of the most essential reasons to buy a water softening system. As a result, having a decent filtration system means you won’t have to spend time cleaning and getting rid of buildup around showers, sinks, tubs, and other surfaces. Moreover, homes with softened water don’t need as much detergent or soap to clean things. Water softeners make it easier to clean things and keep it clean.

Water Softener FAQ

How often should one add salt to a softener?

Salt is frequently added to a water softener’s reservoir or tank to continue working. Water softeners are usually tested about once each month. To ensure adequate soft water production, keep the salt level at least half-full. Because newer models are more efficient with salt use, experts suggest adding salt every six to eight weeks. However, it’s always a good idea to check regularly to ensure everything is working the way you need it to.

What is a water softener?

Water softeners are water treatment products that remove calcium and magnesium from hard water to improve plumbing system function and water quality. Water softeners remove minerals that cause hard water. Softer water is better for pipes and plumbing appliances not to mention the water tastes better.

What is hard water?

Hard water has more minerals than ordinary water. The two biggest minerals you’ll find excessively in hard water include calcium and magnesium, which is why soap doesn’t dissolve in hard water. Guidelines for water classification include: 0 to 60 milligrams per liter as calcium carbonate is classified as soft; 61 to 120 mg per liter is moderately hard; 121 to 180 milligrams per liter is hard, and more than 180 per liter as very hard.
