Purpose: Removes calcium and magnesium to prevent scaling in pipes, appliances, and equipment.
Components: Includes resin tank, brine tank, control valve, and drain.
Types:
Salt-based: Uses salt for regeneration.
Salt-free: Uses TAC technology for scale prevention.
Dual tank: Continuous soft water supply.
Magnetic: Alters mineral structure using magnetic fields.
Applications: Residential, commercial (hotels, offices), and industrial (boilers, cooling towers).
Advantages: Prevents scaling, improves water quality, and provides energy savings.
Regeneration: Salt-based systems require periodic regeneration with salt.
Water softeners enhance water quality and protect plumbing from damage.
