Water Treatment Systems Sales, Service & Installation
There are several different types of water softeners that are commonly used to remove the minerals that cause hard water, including:
-
Ion exchange water softeners: This is the most common type of water softener. It uses a bed of resin beads that have a negative charge. The positively charged minerals, such as calcium and magnesium, are attracted to the beads and exchange places with sodium ions, which are less likely to form mineral buildup.
- Salt-free water softeners: These systems use a process called template-assisted crystallization to change the shape of the mineral ions, so they cannot cling to surfaces and form scale. They are also called descalers or conditioners.
- Dual-tank water softeners: These systems have two tanks, one of which is in use while the other is regenerating. This allows for a continuous soft water supply.
- Magnetic water softeners: These systems use a magnetic field to change the shape of the mineral ions, so they cannot cling to surfaces and form scale. They are also called magnetic descalers.
- Reverse osmosis water softeners: These systems use a membrane to remove dissolved minerals and impurities from the water, which can also remove hardness.
It’s important to note that not all water softeners are created equal, and the effectiveness of each type can vary depending on the specific water hardness and other contaminants in your water.
The best water treatment system for eliminating contaminants will depend on the specific contaminants present in your water. Some common water treatment systems that are effective for eliminating various types of contaminants include:
- Reverse osmosis (RO): This system uses a semi-permeable membrane to remove dissolved solids, bacteria, viruses, and other impurities from the water.
- Activated Carbon Filters: They use activated carbon to adsorb a wide range of contaminants such as chlorine, pesticides, and VOCs.
- Ultra-violet (UV) disinfection: This system uses UV light to kill bacteria, viruses, and other microorganisms in the water.
- Distillation: This system uses heat to vaporize water, leaving impurities behind. The vapor is then condensed back into water, providing clean and safe drinking water.
- Ion exchange: This system uses resin beads to remove dissolved minerals such as calcium and magnesium that cause hard water.
- A combination of different systems: Depending on the types and levels of contaminants, a combination of different systems may be necessary for effective treatment.
