Softener Vessels

Product Description

Ah, I see! Youïre likely referring to softener vessels, which are used in water treatment systems, specifically in water softening processes.

A softener vessel typically contains a resin bed that helps to remove hardness from water. Hard water contains high levels of minerals like calcium and magnesium, and the softening process uses a technique called ion exchange to replace these minerals with sodium ions. Hereïs a brief overview of how they work:

1. Water enters the softener vessel, where it passes through the resin bed.
2. Ion exchange occurs: calcium and magnesium ions in the water are swapped for sodium ions from the resin beads.
3. The softened water exits the vessel and is then ready for use.
4. Over time, the resin becomes saturated with calcium and magnesium ions and needs to be "regenerated" by flushing it with a salt (sodium chloride) solution, which restores the resin's capacity to soften water.

These softener vessels are commonly found in both household and industrial water treatment systems. Do you have a specific question about softener vessels, or are you looking for more detailed information about how they function or are maintained?
