WATER SOFTENER PLANT

Water softener plant - the latest technology at a reasonable price

 

Hard Water Softeners

Hard water remains a common problem for apartments and country houses. Its composition contains an excess of magnesium and calcium salts, which cannot be removed by simple boiling. Such water not only leads to negative consequences for human health but can also cause premature failure of various household appliances. When heated, it gives an insoluble calcareous precipitate - scale, it disrupts the normal process of heat transfer. A special installation for hard water helps to clean it from excessive salt content and prevent the negative effects of use.

Methods for releasing water from hardness salts

The most common water softener plant is based on ion exchange. The cartridge of such filters is loaded with a special ion-exchange resin, which, when in contact with water, ensures the replacement of magnesium and calcium ions by sodium and hydrogen ions. As a result, the water softens, becomes safe for use in drinking and household purposes, as well as for the operation of household appliances.

The water softener includes the following main components:

·         A filter with a special cation exchange resin - this is the substance that purifies water from an excess of dissolved impurities.

·         Capacity in which water gets for cleaning by the principle of ion exchange.

·         Thermal shroud for proper operation of the filter unit.

Water is poured into the filter through a distributor in the upper part of the unit, then it gradually passes through a cationic resin: the movement proceeds from top to bottom, while the ion exchange process takes place, and ions of hardness salts are replaced by other cations. The purified water is lowered through the lower switchgear and removed from the filter unit.

In order to free the filter from accumulated salts and restore its efficiency, a backwash is periodically performed: the water flow is directed in the opposite direction, as a result, the ion-exchange resin is loosened, and the collected sludge is washed out of it through a special valve into the sewer pipe. It is advisable to carry out such flushing weekly to prevent contamination of the aggregate and a decrease in its effectiveness.

What determines the cost of a water softener plant?

A water softener in a house or apartment can have different costs, its price will depend on several main factors:

·    Equipment performance. It depends on the number of ion-exchange filters installed. The more of them, the faster the cleaning process will go, and the more purified water can be obtained in a short time.

·         Source of the source water. A water softener plant for an apartment is usually cheaper since you only have to purify the pre-treated water entering the city water supply.

·         Type of ion exchange resins used. The choice of reagent will depend on the requirements for softening the water and its source.

·         The technological scheme in which the installations for softening water are built-in for a house or other facility. You can choose the right option with the desired performance and type of reagents.

The process of water softening is quick, the high performance of the plants allows you to experience no inconvenience due to filtration. Its results will help to avoid various negative consequences for human health and the operability of household appliances, therefore, it is necessary to take care of effective filtration.

Types of filter units

A water softener for an apartment can only be one of the components for an integrated filtration system. If a large amount of impurities is present in water, it may not be enough: it will also be necessary to purify iron and manganese salts, remove organic impurities, and disinfect water. To solve all these problems, you need to choose a set of compact equipment.

Mitigation and integrated filtration is often required in country houses for which water is taken from autonomous natural sources. In water raised from great depths, there is often an excess of metals and hardness salts, and in the liquid from the surface layers of the soil - various organic contaminants and microorganisms. For a comprehensive solution to the problem, laboratory analysis of water samples is carried out, and then the most suitable set of cleaning equipment is selected.

Integrated filtration will make the water in the cottage or apartment useful and safe for health. This is a prerequisite for the prevention of various diseases and excellent health. BWT filtering equipment will provide comprehensive protection at any facility.
