Water Softener System Installation and Repair
Water supplies sometimes include minerals and salts that not only taste
bad, but also can damage pipes, plumbing fixtures, and other devices. A
water softener removes unwanted minerals from the water supply. Go Green

How Water Softener Systems Work
A water softener is an appliance designed to remove minerals from water
through an ion-exchange process. Water flows through a bed of sodium impregnated
resin beads. Mineral ions are drawn to the beads ,where sodium ions are
then added to the water. The water softener unit recharges the beads with
potassium chloride or brine solution.
Residential water softeners typically are typically installed where the
main water line enters the home. Some systems will bypass faucets and fixtures
that don't require soft water, such as toilets and outside water systems.
Below is an graphic that illustrates how water softeners work.
Water Treatment Steps:
1. BrineTank is 2/3 filled with Salt Crystals
2. Untreated Water enters Brine tank and becomes saturated with salt (sodium)
3. Sodium saturated water transferred to Resin Tank
* Polystyrene Beads attract the Sodium Molecules
* Unneeded extra salt water is purged to waste line
* The Resin Tank is now ready to treat Hard Water
4. Untreated (Hard) Water enter Resin Tank
* Calcium & Magnesium (Hard Water) trade places with Sodium Molecules
* Calcium & Magnesium are now attached to Polystyrene Beads
* (No more Sodium Molecules to trade? Go back to Step #3)
5. Softened Water is released to household.
The performance of a water softener is dependent on two components - a
resin bed that cleans the water and precision equipment that cleans the
resin. The two most significant elements that differentiate one softener
from another is the volume of resin and the type of control valve.

salt refill. From regular tune-ups to major repairs, you can count on Go

Before you decide to replace your softener, have the unit checked out by

the resin bed can be replaced for much less than a complete system replacement.
