Water Softener Installation in Meridian, Idaho 

Drinking or cooking with hard water is not necessarily toxic. However, the minerals in hard water can build up and damage appliances. Plus, hard water generally does not taste good or feel clean.

Boise Water Softening Solutions for Your Home

Water softeners play a vital role in enhancing the quality of your water supply, and here's how they work:

Understanding the Ion Exchange in Water Softeners

Water softeners primarily use an ion exchange process to remove minerals that cause hardness from your water. The main culprits are calcium and magnesium ions. 

The resin tank in the water softener contains tiny resin beads with a negative charge. As hard water passes through the resin bed, the positively charged calcium and magnesium ions are attracted to the negatively charged resin beads.

The Softening Cycle: How Your Water Gets Softer

During the softening cycle, the hard water flows through the resin bed. As the water comes into contact with the resin beads, the calcium and magnesium ions adhere to the resin, effectively replacing them with sodium ions. Sodium ions have a much lower impact on water hardness, which means the water leaving the resin bed is now softened.

Regeneration Phase: Maintaining Soft Water Quality

Over time, the resin beads become saturated with calcium and magnesium ions, necessitating a regeneration phase. This phase involves flushing the resin bed with a brine solution (a highly concentrated saltwater solution). 

The sodium ions in the brine solution effectively push off the calcium and magnesium ions from the resin beads. The expelled ions and excess brine are then flushed out of the system.
