Hard water has a high number of dissolved minerals, predominantly magnesium and calcium. Water is naturally soft when it falls from the sky and gains its hardness after coming in to contact with the ground. If rainwater lands in an area with porous rock such as limestone, the water penetrates the ground and as it passes through collects and dissolv...
Hard water is measured in parts per million (PPM) and how many particles of hardness are dissolved in the water per million particles gives a rating. This rating has been developed over time to the following categories:
When hard water makes its way through the mains and into our homes for cooking, cleaning, washing and heating is when problems can arise. Millions of people in the UK receive hard water through the mains water supply with London having particularly large areas with hard water. When hard water molecules are agitated (Warmed up) in kettles, dishwashe...
A water softener system attaches directly to the mains water supply and works by passing the water through the system, stripping the hard water particles from the water, before releasing the softened water back into the ongoing water supply. Aqua Cure water softeners come in various sizes for domestic use to fit under a kitchen sink or cupboard and...
Metered regeneration:
Metered regeneration occurs after a pre-set amount of water has passed through the resin. All of our Metered water softeners are pre-set at the time of manufacture for ease of use and saves time on initial set up. The benefit of a metered water softener is that it will regenerate once the capacity usage is reached.
Timed regeneration:
An alternative to a metered water softener system that is programmed on initial set up. Once the specified time to regenerate has come, the water softener will regenerate automatically. The problem with this method is that there could still be enough sodium ions left in the resin to continue softening the water but the timer has been set to regenerate early, this can waste salt and here at Aqua Cure we have opted for metered regeneration Water Softeners.
Choosing the right size softener depends on a number of things. To make it simple we have categorised our domestic softener range into the following options depending on how many people live in the household. 1. 1-2 Person Compact Premium Household Water Softener (5 Litre) 2. 2-4 Person Compact Premium Household Water Softener (10 Litre) 3. 2-4 Per...
Maintenance:
All water softeners need to be kept topped up with water softener salt as its packed with sodium ions (Na) needed to create the brine that washes over and regenerates the resin. Salt types vary depending on your softener system. Our systems require tablet salt to refresh the resin. Superior performance is achieved by the more expensive, finer and more efficient resin contained within the high capacity vessels, which results in more softened water for every kilogram of salt used. The water sof...
