Benefits Of Electronic Water Softeners

Electronic water softeners work through a process known as ion exchange. This entails the calcium, magnesium and other unwanted ions being replaced with sodium. The device also contains a mineral tank filled with beads that are also known as resin. The beads are negatively charged, which attract the calcium and magnesium ions and make them cling on it. The calcium and magnesium ions are absorbed preferentially to the sodium ions because the former contains a stronger positive charge. This is how the unwanted ions are removed from the water, and it is “softened.” The softeners also have an electric timer that regenerates the resin bed automatically.…
