If you are living in an area with hard water, you may have noticed your plumbing getting faulty more often. You may also have noticed unnecessary stains frequently building upon the basins and the efficiency decrease in overall water flow. And these are just some of the commonly identified problems; there’s much more to add like crusty faucets, spots on glassware, and soap scums in sinks and bathtubs. Not to mention dry skin and irritation…the list goes on. But guess what, you can avoid all this by simply installing a water softener. What does it do? Well, that will need a bit of a 10th-grade chemistry explanation. Remember that two negative charges attract each other. And atoms with one deficient electron (cation) or the extra electron (anion) e.g. disturbed state, will be attracted to each other. Now keeping that into account, let’s explain how a water softener operates.
Water is hard because of two culprits: magnesium and calcium, which are both positively charged. The water softener has resin beds inside that contain zeolite: a negatively charged group of atoms. The zeolite ions attract the positively charged magnesium and calcium ions as water pass through the softener, thus trapping the impurities in the resin bed, and releasing sodium salt instead. These minerals are then removed from the resin through the regeneration process. A good quality water softener will ensure that you and your family use water that is completely hazard-free, while economically friendly as you won’t have to spend a huge chunk of your salary on soaps, shampoos, and frequent repairs.

Water Softener Installation – FAQs
As salt is the main component of water softener in treating water, the water softener will basically lose its functionality. As a result, your plumbing is constantly exposed to lime build-up etc; whatever harm hard water can cause.
Based on the water usage in the home, the frequency of salt changing should be at least twice a month.
As more and more hard water passes through the water softener, the resin gets more and more saturated. Once it’s out of capacity, its filtering ability will come to halt, and you will be supplied with hard water.
We wouldn’t recommend it during the 2-hours period while the softener is regenerating. This is because it supplies hard water during this duration and it can seriously harm your plumbing system.
The easiest way to know is to conduct a soap test. Just take some water in a bottle and add a little liquid to it. Now shake the bottle and see if it’s bubbling normally. If it doesn’t perform normally and the water takes a cloudy colour; it is hard.
Depending on the scale of hardness already present in your home. Usually, it takes from about one to two weeks to start showing results.
Here are some of the common advantages of installing a water softener:
. Saves detergent, shampoo, and soap costs by . . 50%.
. Only removes minerals that are responsible for water hardness.
. Reduces lime deposit build-up
. Reduces staining and scaling
. Saves energy
Adding too much salt can cause the solidification of regenerant. This prevents the system from regenerating properly. Thus leading to poor softening properties, and hard water supply.
A resin bed last from 10 to 15 years under normal circumstances. However, if you notice any abnormalities in the quality of water despite passing it through the softener, it is most likely that the softener has problems.
Here are some of the major signs that indicate something’s not good inside the water softener and professional assistance is required:
. There is a strange: unusual taste in the water coming out of the softener.
. A gradual decrease in water pressure.
. Poor lather formation from soaps and shampoos.
. Hard water spots on dishes etc; improper cleaning even with detergent.
. There’s extra salt in the water.
