WHAT IS WATER SOFTENING? Softening is a process used to remove undesired minerals from water, mainly Calcium and Magnesium. For this process to occur, water must flow through a resin bed, where the ion exchange takes place.

SOFTENING CYCLE
During the softening cycle, calcium and magnesium ions contained in the water adhere to the resin causing sodium ions to be released in order to restore equilibrium. The degree of efficiency during the process depends on the type of resin applied.

STANDARD RESIN During the ion exchange process, the resin retains calcium and magnesium ions temporarily, releasing sodium ions in return. The spheres of the standard resin have an average diameter of 0,6 mm with great size differences between spheres. Standard resin has limited performance.

SOFT WATER

HARD WATER HIGH FLOW RESIN The latest innovation is the HIGH FLOW RESIN that allows maximun efficiency and performance. Its average diameter of 0,3 mm and its homogenous size create a greater contact surface.
RESIN TANK

The peak flow rate of the system increases fourfold generating water and salt savings of up to 20% and 15% respectively.
BRINE TANK

The water intake is driven towards the resin tank were it softens as it flows downward through the resin. The water then ascends from the bottom of the resin tank and is driven to the outlet valve.

REGENERATION EXPLAINED The softening cycle saturates the resin with Calcium and Magnesium ions. In order to restore initial properties a regeneration cycle must be performed.

REGENERATION CYCLE
During the regeneration cycle, brine flows through the resin bed exchanging calcium and magnesium ions for sodium ions.The resin recovers its softening capacity. This process will be more or less efficient depending on the chosen regeneration type.

(4) BRINE REFILL

Regeneration

The flow direction in the softening cycle is downward, so the upper part of the resin bed is the most saturated. The regenerant circulates throught the resin bed in the same direction at the service flow, from top to bottom, thereby dragging the highest concentration of impurities from the upper resin bed throughout the tank. This makes the quantity of water, brine and time needed to complete the process effectively very high.

The brine is suctioned and driven through the valve towards the bottom of the tank, where it flows through the resin bed until it reaches the outlet.

UP FLOW

(1) BRINING

(2) BACKWASH

(3) FAST RINSE

(4) BRINE REFILL

The flow directions during the service cycle and regeneration cycle are the opposite: The flow direction in the regeneration cycle is upward, so it produces a back wash that spands the resin bed, removes the upper level impurities in a direct way and regenerates the resin in an effective way. With this process, savings of up to 60% in water and up to 50% in regenerant can be obtained.
RESIN TANK BRINE TANK

The combination of both high flow resin and up flow regeneration increases performance of the system and reduces water and salt consumption during the regeneration cycle.

WHY SHOULD YOU CHOOSE A HIGH FLOW RESIN?

Use of the high flow resin allows reducing the size of the system, minimises regeneration time and increases savings in water and salt consumption, as you can see in the below example. The features of the equipment have been obtained considering household requirements and the chosen system type.
