A water softener helps in fixing the hard water issues. Hard water is loaded with minerals like calcium, magnesium carbonate and manganese. If the soap and shampoo don’t lather nicely, if your dishes have spots on them, if you find a ring in the bathtub, if your laundry seems dingy, then you are facing a hard water issue. Thankfully this can be fixed by using a water softener Phoenix. If you are aware of the same, you may not be aware of the types of water softeners. We have listed them below.
- Salt free water softener
This water softener regenerates with the help of potassium chloride salt substitute instead of sodium. This is a better option for those who are conscious about their salt intake. Salt free water softener is a descaler, it doesn’t simply eliminate the hard water minerals however, reduces deposition of minerals as a scale to the surfaces of water associated appliances and pipes instead.
- Salt based ion exchange softener
This water softener circulates the household water via two water tanks, where one has special resin beads and another is filled with brine. This process works on the principle of ion exchange, and it softens the hard water by replacing hard minerals like calcium, magnesium or iron with sodium or salt.
- Dual tank water softener
When you recharge the water softener and disconnect it from the water system, it is useless. This is why the regeneration cycle is set to happen in the nighttime. If the softened water is required in the regeneration cycle then, it can cause problems. This water softener has a tank that regenerates and the other one is used. If you have a large family then you may need two resin tanks. When two tanks, one can be used and another one can regenerate. Hence, this ensures that soft water is supplied continuously. These are also available in smaller size than single size units.
- Magnetic water softener or descaler
You can also go for magnetic or electronic water softener or descaler. This plug in device easily clips on the incoming pipe, establishes a magnetic field that transforms the electromagnetic properties of the calcium carbonate minerals, hence they are repelled away by the pipes.
