Softening Systems
This system, which is used to replace the calcium and magnesium ions that cause the hardness, that is, the increase of lime, with sodium ions, allows the water to be softened as a result. The hardness level of the existing water can be reduced to 0 FR after the regeneration process of such systems using salt solution. Generally, the hardness level of the water used in factories and industrial facilities should be low. Apart from these areas, it is very important that the hardness level of the water used in the houses is 5 Fr. The ions in the water are changed by the softening systems. The sodium concentration in the water treated with softening systems increases. This means the purity of water needed to be used in factories and industrial areas.

What are Softening Systems?
Water softening systems are a treatment method that uses an ion exchange process to remove Calcium and Magnesium ions that cause hardness, that is, limescale, in water. Since these systems work with the ion exchange principle, they capture all the ions in the water loaded with Ca and Mg, thanks to the resin loaded with salt. Since the amount of lime it can hold can be adjusted, after this amount is filled, the regeneration phase should be started. Purified pure water enters with the help of pressure from the inlet point and contacts the surface and the resin thanks to the diffusers in the system. As a result of this contact, the water loses its hardness and the process is completed. The resin column, which fills its capacity, starts to clean itself with the regeneration solution prepared before the process. During cleaning, waste water is generated and this water is removed from the system. All these processes are done automatically. Those in charge of the system only complete the sodium chloride in the water tank. You can contact us to get information about the operations of this system and more.
How Do Softening Systems Work?
Although water softeners are mixed with water filters, these systems are basically ion exchange systems. It consists of a resin tank and has a resin that helps the pure water to come out by separating from its ions when hard water enters this tank. In addition to not being a natural resin, this resin allows the ions in the water to be replaced by the ions in it, thanks to its aniotic and cationic properties. Calcium and magnesium ions, which are the cause of the hardness of the water, bind to the resin and the sodium of the resin is loaded into the water, thereby softening the water. As the resin is used, it gets saturated with the lime, which is the cause of the hardness, and in this case, it is not possible to soften the water. At this stage, the resin must go through the regeneration process in order to soften it again. The process of washing this resin with saline solution, that is, sodium loaded water, is called regeneration. This solution takes the charged Ca and Mg ions and meets the sodium requirement of the resin. For detailed information about the water softening process, you can contact us at our phone numbers.
Types of Softening Systems
Water softening systems are divided into two main headings. They are referred to as single-tank water softening systems and tandem double-tank water softening systems. Since the capacity of single-tank systems is slightly less than the tandem system, it is generally recommended to be used in places where water is not consumed. This system, which can be easily used in homes, hotels and workplaces, is easily preferred by many users. Tandem water softening systems with a slightly higher capacity consist of double tanks and are preferred in industrial areas where more water is consumed. Although the way both systems operate is the same, there is a difference in capacity. It is recommended to be preferred in areas where less water is used, especially since the regeneration time of the resin will be shorter in the single water softener system. If you want to get more information about these systems, you can contact us.
Single Softening System
Single-tank water softening systems are produced as single-tank. In addition, when the resin it has reaches saturation, the Ca and Mg ions loaded in the resin are replaced with sodium ions by performing a backwash process. This process is called regeneration and has certain capacities. Since the capacity is slightly lower in single-tank water softening systems, it is preferred in areas where less water is used. You can easily use this system in your home and workplace if you wish. You can call us for all the information you need and take advantage of our website.
Tandem Softening System
It is the method with more capacity among water softening systems. In addition to working according to a certain capacity, it is managed by signals from the valve system. Since it has two tanks, it helps to make the softening process uninterrupted. While one of the tanks performs the softening process, the other performs the backwashing process for the resin that has reached saturation. The tandem water softening system is used in industries that consume water uninterruptedly, as well as systems that are suitable for softening water with a very high hardness value. The service, regeneration and backwash processes used in these softening systems are performed automatically. Its non-overflow float and epoxy coated polyurethane tank are suitable for use in many different industries. You can use our website for the details of this system.
Softening System Features
One of the features of the water softener system is its ability to exchange ions. Water softening systems using single and double tanks operate at different capacities depending on the area used. In particular, the tandem water softening system provides the opportunity to work continuously for 24 hours and performs the purification process fully automatically. Thanks to the special epoxy resin in it, it takes the ion-loaded minerals in the water and creates sodium loads and pure water. It is aimed that the resin, which has reached saturation thanks to the backwashing process, continues the process by loading sodium. You can contact us for detailed information about the features of the water softener system.
Where are Softening Systems Used?
Although tandem and single water softening systems are suitable for use in different areas, the way they both work is the same. Tandem water softening systems are very suitable for use in industrial areas that need lime-free water for 24 hours. Single water softening systems can be used easily in places where less water is consumed. Single or double tank water softening systems are preferred in areas with high human density such as mass housing areas, training centers, restaurants, industrial areas.
What are the Advantages of Softening Systems?
Lime is widely used to purify water in our country. For this reason, the water flowing from the faucet, especially in our homes, is quite calcareous. In addition to being harmful, lime is also known to damage the skin, clothes and goods. For this reason, water softening systems are very necessary wherever water is used. The most widely used method for removing lime from water is water softening. Thanks to its special resin, it purifies the water from lime and provides sodium ion loading. Thus, it is aimed that the water flowing from your faucet is clean and healthy. Thanks to this system, which can be used easily in every area, you can have clean and safe water.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Is Water Softening Method Used in Houses?
Yes, it is used. There are two different types of this method, which is suitable for use wherever water is needed. While the single water softening method is especially recommended for homes and businesses, the tandem water softening method is recommended for larger scale areas.
How Much Lime Can be Reduced by the Water Softening Method?
Although it depends on the adjustments, it is a method that can reduce the lime in the water up to 0 Fr. The water used in the houses should be at most 5 Fr. For this reason, it is recommended to use the water softening method.
