What is water softening salt for; what kind of salt is used for water softening

　　Use a lot of cleanser but always feel that your face is not clean? Your hair is frizzy and dull after washing? Cloudy water, a thick layer of white limescale in the kettle after use? Mirrors, faucets, showerheads, water stains on the surface?

　　What is water softening salt for; what kind of salt is used to soften water?

　　These situations in daily life you must have encountered, the main reason is still water is too hard, living water in urgent need of softening treatment. Common water softeners mainly use the ion exchange capacity of the resin to remove calcium and magnesium ions in the water, so as to achieve the purpose of improving the hardness of the water, so that hard water becomes soft water.

　　Functions of water softeners

　　Skin purification and moisturising

　　Soft water is easy to foam when washing face with cleanser, which helps to remove dirt from pores, making skin smooth and soft without tightness, and easy to apply and remove make-up. Frequent bathing with soft water can help you relieve dry skin, dermatophytosis, dandruff sufferings. Soft water bathing, shampooing, washing face, smooth and tender, the skin of infants and young children have a protective effect, but also can make beauty, hair, skin care investment to get twice the result with half the effort.

　　Smooth and bright hair

　　Using soft water to wash hair can eliminate static electricity and make hair more lustrous and flowing.

　　Deep Cleaning

　　Soft water laundry foaming rich, with soft water laundry, a little laundry detergent can be washed, and fluffy, colorful, no residual washing and taste sensation, but also to make the clothes soft, to prevent static electricity, decolouration, deformation, colour and lustre as new.

　　Easier housework

　　Using soft water to wash fruits and vegetables, effectively remove pesticide residues; cleaning dishes, porcelain, clean as new, no traces of water stains, save energy and save detergent, housework cleaning easier.

　　Protect water-related appliances

　　Soft water can prevent water-related appliances such as pipes, showerheads, washing machines and other water-related appliances from accumulating limescale, clogging and other phenomena, protecting water-related appliances and prolonging their service life. The use of soft water also prevents the production of limescale in water heaters, effectively preventing clogging and increasing energy consumption.

　　Water purifiers need to regularly replace the cartridge to ensure the safety of drinking water, then the water softener in daily life should be how to maintain it?

　　Water softeners should not be placed in too high or too low temperature environment to avoid affecting the normal work of the resin in the water softener. Water softeners can not use impurity-containing water softener salt, impurity-containing water softener salt is easy to block the salt suction valve, resulting in brine can not flush the resin, so that the resin can not be regenerated.

　　The resin in the water softener does not need to be replaced, but the water softening salt needs to be added regularly. The working principle of most water softeners is to use food-grade resin exchange regeneration technology, through the exchange of salt with calcium and magnesium ions in the resin, so as to achieve the purpose of removing water scale. When the resin adsorption of water hardness of ions with the accumulation of time to reach a saturated state, will lose efficacy, then need to do is not to replace the resin, but to add regeneration material soft water salt. Resin is renewable, the general service life of water softening resin can reach 7 to 8 years, some can be higher. Just add the regeneration material soft water salt, soft water salt will replace the hardness ions within the resin, so that the resin to restore the effectiveness of normal work. It should be noted that the water softening salt here is special salt for water softeners, not ordinary table salt, ordinary iodised salt will instead destroy the resin, resulting in a decline in its exchange capacity.

　　The amount of salt required by the water softener is the amount of salt required for resin regeneration, roughly estimated, 160 grams of salt per litre of resin regeneration, the amount of calcium and magnesium ions that the resin can replace, 90 grams of calcium and magnesium ions per litre of resin can be replaced. The amount of salt depends on the family water use to judge, generally a family of three people a month plus 10 kg of salt.

　　Soft water as a high-quality water, long-term use of a wide range of benefits, master the basic principles of water softeners and maintenance of the use of water softeners to protect the stable operation of water softeners, to create a higher ‘water’ quasi-living water.
