How Your Water Conditioner Works
Hard water enters your home through the main supply line, enters your water conditioner, and passes down through a bed
of ion exchange resin which softens the water. An ion exchange process takes place in which the resin beads capture and
hold calcium and magnesium, the hardness impurities, while the water takes on sodium ions. The soft water then flows up
and into your household water line.
On the days your water conditioner regenerates, the resin is automatically recharged by passing a brine solution (salt
water) through it. This reverses the ion exchange process, charging the resin with sodium and freeing the hardness
minerals. These minerals and the brine solution are then flushed away through the drain line followed by a rapid rinse.
The resin bed is again ready to soften water.
