Water softener
As far as our health is concerned, drinking pure water is a prerequisite. One of the most well known water treatment techniques is the water softening. Water softeners enable several families to have high quality household water. Due to water softeners, mineral deposits are removed, laundry comes out softer and soap residues are not left in the clothing. Thus the overall water quality is enhanced and you literally feel water to be softer than before.
A water softener is based on the principle of “Ion Exchange”. For every particle of hardness which the water softener removes form water, it must substitute it with the same amount of salt. Under ideal conditions, this exchange should be exactly equal but this doesn’t happen actually. There is always more quantity of salt left in the water as compared to the amount of particles of hardness it removed. The exchange ratio was disastrous in some earlier models of water softeners. The recent technologies though have introduced the technique of rinsing which decrease the remaining salt in the water quite closer to acceptable standards.
A crucial aspect while softening is your septic system. Water softeners tend to wash great quantities of salt into your drain water. If you have a septic system like in several villages, this will provide harm to the cement holding tank and salt will damage the plants of the locality where the septic is present. Under such conditions, Potassium Chloride may be substituted because potassium is not much dangerous and doesn’t affect the environment negatively.
If you install a water softener in your home and get used to it within a few months, it would become the part and parcel of your life. This has proved to be one of the greatest purchases I have personally ever made.
