Water Softener

Hard water is water that has a high volume of ions such as calcium and magnesium for various reasons, such as passing through different layers of soil. These salts and ions gradually deposit in the walls of containers, pipes and walls due to rising water temperatures. In addition, consuming water with a hardness above 500 ppm can lead to kidney stones and can cause many problems. Removal of water hardness, which is known as water softener, is done by various methods, which in a general category can be divided into temporary softener and permanent softener. In many cases, a large volume of salts, calcium and magnesium in the water settles and precipitates due to heating and boiling water in the walls and bottom of the container. This type of hardness is temporary or carbonate hardness and can be easily removed. In another type of water hardness, which is known as permanent hardness and the salts in water are non-carbonated, they can be removed only by industrial methods and with different chemicals and processes. As mentioned, the hardness of water will have a negative effect not only on people’s health but also on the quality of products produced in the industry. As a result, it can be used in various fields, the most important of which are the following: · Prevent sedimentation in expensive devices · Reduce hardness and purify drinking water · Prevention of clogged pipes At present, water softener is produced in different factories, each of which has special features and capabilities. But before starting the process of removing water hardness, it is necessary to answer some important questions, which are: · What are the types of substances and ions in water? What is the value of each? Is the water analysis completely done? · Is water hardness temporary or permanent? Is it carbonate or bicarbonate? · According to the data obtained from water analysis, how many chemicals are needed and what kind of them are needed? · Possibility of mixing water with chemicals · Calculate the water hardening time · Separation of sediment and extraction of soft water
