This AQUAPRO water softener, which is one of the best rated water softeners, is a whole house system that’s designed to eliminate hard water, as well as the scale build up. Getting the water free of calcium and magnesium ions, your household’s plumbing and appliances will have their life extended.
Most of the time water softening units consist of two tanks: a water tank and a brine tank. One of the tanks contains resin beads, which have an opposite electrical charge to that of calcium and magnesium. As a result, when the water flows into the tank, an ion exchange process occurs and the hard minerals are exchanged with soft ones. The soft minerals can be either sodium or potassium chloride. These minerals you need to regularly add to the water softener in order for it to regenerate.
