How Does a Commercial Water Softener Work

Aqua pro water softener removes minerals that exist naturally in water sources through ion exchange. Water is filtered through plastic resin beads coated in sodium molecules, which interact with magnesium, calcium, and other metallic minerals. Since calcium and magnesium ions carry a positive charge, they interact with the negatively charged resin beads. When the beads interact with the hard minerals, they capture their positive molecules and release sodium into the water. Sodium molecules replace the calcium and magnesium, thereby reducing the mineral content of the water and preventing buildup and interference with cleaning chemicals.
