Ion exchange is the process of removing hardness ions such as Calcium and Magnesium from water and replacing them with non-hardness ions, typically Sodium provided by a resin regenerating Sodium Chloride (brine) concentrated solution. The whole process transforms hard water into soft water.
An ion exchange water softening process is a common alternative to the use of lime and soda ash for softening water in drinking water or industrial water processing. Natural water sources contain dissolved minerals that dissociate in water to form charged particles called ions. Water hardness is originated by positively charged ions of Calcium and Magnesium.
An ion exchange system uses resins, a material that will exchange hardness-causing ions for another one that does not cause water hardness. The resin holds the new ion temporarily to release it when rinsed with a regenerating solution.
When Calcium and Magnesium ions replace all the Sodium ions in the ion exchange resin, the resin can no longer remove the hardness from the water. In that moment regeneration must start, pumping a concentrated solution of Sodium Chloride through the resin. When the resin is completely recharged with Sodium ions, the softening process is ready to start again.
