Our
high capacity water softener resin media is of the finest quality
available for residential, industrial and commercial applications.
Cation resin in sodium form removes hardness ions such as calcium
and magnesium by replacing them with sodium. When the resin bed
is exhausted the hardness ions begin to pass through the bed.
Functionality is restored by regeneration with concentrated sodium
or potassium chloride solution. The capacity obtained depends
largely on the amount of salt used in the regeneration process.
Typically 15 pounds of regenerant per cubic foot of resin is used
to obtain maximum capacity of up to 33,000 grains.
