PC002 Softening Resin (10 Litre)
Water softeners reduce the hardness of water by removing calcium and magnesium carbonates from your water supply. The softened water prevents limescale and ensures a longer life from items such as dishwashers, washing machines, showers and boilers.
Softening water eliminates limescale which stops all the above issues, as well as other benefits such as reduced heating bills, softer laundry and soap that lathers much easier.
A water softener passes water through an ion exchange resin. This resin is made up of tiny beads which are positively charged with sodium ions. The calcium and magnesium ions contained in calcium carbonate and magnesium carbonate are negatively charged. Just like a magnet, the positive resin beads attract the negative calcium and magnesium ions. In return, the sodium ion is deposited to the carbonate, because again, opposites attract. What you are left with is sodium carbonate in the water which does not cause limescale.
