Hard water refers to tap water with high quantities of dissolved minerals. Those minerals can create scale deposits throughout your plumbing system. You’ll find this buildup on your faucets and showerheads. That’s just where you can see them, however. Scale buildup can gradually lead to clogging in your home’s pipes. It can also lead to a decrease in your water heater’s capacity and lifespan. Water softeners solve the problem by exchanging mineral ions for harmless sodium ions in your water.
A whole-home water softener gets installed where your water supply line enters. Most systems generally consist of two tanks. In one, you’ll find negatively charged resin beads that facilitate the ion exchange process. In the other, you’ll find a brine solution. You’ll need to regularly replenish the brine solution through the periodic addition of salt.
A water softener takes advantage of the fact that sodium ions have a weaker positive charge than mineral ions. The softening process starts with the resin beads soaking in the brine solution. That imbues them with a ready supply of sodium ions. Then, as fresh hard water passes through the beads, they attract positively charged mineral ions. That forces them to shed sodium ions into the water to replace the minerals. When the beads run out of sodium ions, the process starts again.
