For small home users, a water softener that can treat 10-20 liters of water per minute is sufficient, while a larger home or commercial location may require a larger capacity unit. The larger the capacity, the higher the price of the water softener. For example, a water softener with a larger capacity may cost up to $3,000 or more.

The hardness of water refers to the content of calcium and magnesium ions in water. The harder the water, the more salt the water softener needs to consume during the softening process. Therefore, in areas with harder water, the use of salt blocks will be shorter and may need to be replenished monthly or even weekly.

An agricultural water softener is a water treatment device specially used in the agricultural field, which is designed to reduce the content of calcium and magnesium ions in irrigation water sources, thereby reducing the hardness of water.

In the process of softening water, the water softener will replace the calcium and magnesium ions in the water with sodium ions. Therefore, the sodium content in the treated water will increase. For healthy adults, moderate sodium intake will not have a significant effect on the body.

The quality of groundwater is affected by the geographical environment, soil structure, rock composition and human activities. For example, groundwater in some areas may contain high concentrations of iron, manganese, sulfide or high hardness, resulting in yellow water, odor, scaling and other problems.

Main types of water treatment machines: Reverse osmosis (RO) water treatment machine Ultraviolet (UV) disinfection water treatment machine Activated carbon water treatment machine Water softener Ultrafiltration (UF) water treatment machine Electrolysis water treatment machine

Well water and groundwater usually contain more silt, rust and organic matter, and the hardness is also high. In this case, it is recommended to install a mechanical filter or activated carbon filter first, and then install a water softener to ensure a comprehensive improvement in water quality.

The inlet and outlet valves of the water softener control the entry of hard water and the exit of soft water, respectively. If these valves are leaking, especially during the regeneration phase, water may continue to enter the salt tank, causing the water level to rise.

Reverse Osmosis system is a highly efficient filtration technology that can remove up to 90% of dissolved solids in water, including calcium. RO uses high pressure to pass water through a semi-permeable membrane, while calcium and other impurities are blocked on the other side of the membrane.

The brine softener control unit is an electronic or mechanical device responsible for managing and controlling all key functions of the softener, including the start of the regeneration cycle, the regulation of the regeneration process, the operating status monitoring of the softener
