How a 60,000 Water Softener works in your home
1. Water Goes Into the Softener
Hard water from your home’s water supply flows into the softener tank.
2. The Resin Bed Removes Hard Minerals
Inside the tank, there are tiny resin beads covered with sodium or potassium ions. These beads attract and trap the hard minerals (calcium and magnesium) in the water. As the hard minerals stick to the resin, the sodium or potassium is released into the water, making it soft.
3. Soft Water Goes to Your Home
After passing through the resin, the now-softened water flows out of the tank and into your home, ready for use.
4. The System Cleans Itself (Regeneration)
When the resin beads become full of hard minerals, the system cleans them. This process is called regeneration. Saltwater (from a salt tank you fill) flushes out the trapped minerals, recharging the resin beads so they can keep softening your water.
5. Cycle Repeats
Once the resin is cleaned, the system is ready to soften water again, keeping your home supplied with soft water.
The 60,000-grain capacity means the softener can handle a large amount of hard minerals before needing to regenerate, making it perfect for larger households or homes with very hard water.
