Softening Process Explained

In the water softener, the resin tank is the first stop for incoming water. Here, water is passed through a bed of resin beads that perform an ion exchange, swapping out hard water minerals for sodium ions held by the beads. This process effectively softens the water before it enters your home.

Within the resin tank lies the resin bed, composed of numerous small resin beads. As water flows through this bed, it interacts with the beads, which facilitate the transformation of hard water into soft water, ready for household use.

An Overview of Regeneration Process

The brine tank is essential for the regeneration process, where salt is mixed with water to form a brine solution. This solution is circulated through the resin beads to cleanse them, effectively removing the accumulated minerals.

The brine solution, a highly concentrated mixture made from the tank’s salt, plays a crucial role by dislodging minerals from the resin beads and replacing them with sodium ions.

Finally, the drain serves as the exit point for the brine solution along with the displaced hardness minerals, flushing them out of the softener system.

Water Refining

North Star water refiners are specifically designed to treat municipal water. They effectively reduce hard water contaminants and chlorine, which is commonly used to disinfect water but can leave an unpleasant taste and smell. A water refiner is an ideal solution for homeowners seeking a comprehensive treatment system that enhances the quality of water throughout their home.

Anti-Scale Systems

Unlike traditional water softeners, North Star’s anti-scale solutions tackle common hard water problems without the use of salt or chemicals. These systems employ proprietary PPT media technology to transform hardness minerals into microscopic crystals. These crystals do not adhere to surfaces and are easily washed away by the water flow, ensuring your plumbing remains scale-free without altering the mineral content of your water.
