How a water softener works
One of the biggest misconceptions about water softeners is that the salt is what softens your water. What actually softens the water are thousands of tiny resin beads within the tank that filter out hard water chemicals. The salt is actually used to clean the resin beads during a regeneration cycle, allowing the system to continually remove hardness from your water inside the resin tank.
During the softening cycle, sodium on the resin beads is exchanged for hard water minerals in the water. After some calculated time, the resin beads need to be rinsed free of the minerals and "recharged" so they can continue attracting and collecting hard water minerals. This is called regeneration cycle, and it's why we add salt to water softeners.
- Hard water enters your home from a main water supply pipe line, and travels to the water softener.
- Resin beads in the tank attract and hold onto hard water minerals, removing them from the water.
- Softened water exits the tank and flows to the plumbing throughout your home.
- A strong salt-water (brine) solution is created with the salt added to the softener.
- The brine solution flows through the resin tank, rinsing the beads and exchanging new sodium for the hard water minerals that have collected. This is known as the water softener backwash cycle.
- The brine solution and hard water minerals are flushed from the tank into a nearby drain.
- The resin beads are renewed and ready to collect hard water minerals again.
