The ground water may hard or soft thevariationsoccur from place to place.  Soft water is the water which contains less amount of mineral where as the hard water consist of more amount of hardened minerals like calcium and magnesium and some amounts of metal cations. The hard water has a nature making water spots on dishes, silverware, bathtubs, dishes and shower it decreases the lathering ability of laundry, shampoo and body soap. Rain water is considered to be the original source of water softener.

How the water softener works:

The softeners come in variety of sizes and it depends on the family or home size and quality of the usage of water. Most of the softener is installed in basements.utilityclosets, garages or the main source of water from which the water is entering.

Normally a typical soften we tank consists of narrow water softener tank or it may be wide brine tank or short in size. This is connected to the main home water supply line. Water from the water source will enter the water softener and tank which is consisting of the resin beads will percolate through the beads. The resins have the nature of negative charge which will attract the positive charged mineral this process is known as ion exchange the mineral cling to the resigns ones the minerals are clanged to the resins the soft water is separated and it will exit from the softener tank which will flow in the entire house.

After continues usage the resins lose the charge during that time the softener should be regenerated cleaned or flushed in which once done it will get back the original form again of the process of softening. During the process of conversion, the salts will be left out for which rinse cycles should be done and they are also flushed during the process.

Summing up:

The ground water may hard or soft thevariationsoccur from place to place. Soft water is the water which contains less amount of mineral whereas the hard water consists of more amounts of hardened minerals like calcium and magnesium and some amounts of metal captions the removal of the hardness with the softener makes the water soft more multipurpose usage.
