F.A.Q.
Frequently Asked Questions
HOW DOES A WATER SOFTENER WORK?
A water softener is composed of a mineral tank and a backflush
tank. It collects hardness minerals within its conditioning tank and
from time to time flushes them away to drain. Ion exchangers
(usually resin beads in today’s water softeners) are used for water
softening. When water runs through an ion exchanger, the
exchanger replaces the calcium and magnesium ions in the water
with other ions such as sodium or potassium. The result of our
advanced water softener technology is healthier, smoother water
for you and your family, while still maintaining an efficient flow rate.
Why does my system need maintenance?

WHY REMOVE CHLORAMINE?
Chloramine is a combination of ammonia and chlorine that is
commonly used to disinfect municipal water supplies. In high
levels, it can be very corrosive to lead water lines and copper
piping. Chloramine could also have side effects for people and fish.
