How Does a Water Softener Work?
A water softener works by replacing positively charged magnesium and calcium ions with sodium (salt) or potassium ions, which are absorbed by negatively charged resin beads as the water enters the system's main tank. The ions cling to the beads, allowing the softened water to leave the tank for distribution through your plumbing system.
Cleaning the system every few days with salt water is necessary to recharge the resin beads and remove the mineral deposits. The salty water for cleaning is located in a connected tank that is separated from the main tank by a valve, which controls the amount of water used during cleaning and recharging. The sodium tank typically can be refilled with salt pellets.

- Improved cleaning: Your laundry will look brighter, and your dishes and glassware will look cleaner without hard water stains damaging their appearance.

Water Softeners vs. Water Conditioners
While salt-free water conditioners help make minerals less abrasive in hard water, they don't remove those minerals like a salt-based water softener will.
For example, scaling is still possible when you use water conditioners because the magnesium and calcium are still present, even though your water quality may improve. A water softener is the best way to eliminate these minerals from your water.
If the higher maintenance demands of a water softener is something you're concerned about, let the pros at Cardwell HVAC & Plumbing handle the work for you. We can install and maintain your system while you enjoy softened water in your home.
