Jalamrut offers a durable, highly water-softening plant designed to tackle domestic and industrial use cases, with minimum maintenance costs and high productivity. Softening water is the process of removing the dissolved calcium and magnesium salts that cause hardness in water.
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
Water softening plant is used to exchange ions through resin bed in sodium form and provides soft water. The resin bed is regenerated using sodium chloride solution to regain its ability after a certain period. Softened water, unlike hard water, forms insoluble scales or precipitates in pipes and tanks. Water softening is thus indispensable in many industries, and small water-softening units are used in homes in a number of countries.
FUNCTIONALITY
1. Water softeners are ion exchangers designed to remove calcium (Ca2+) and magnesium (Mg2+) ions, which are the “hardness-causing minerals” in water.
2. Softeners can also remove iron from water.
3. Softeners can operate automatically, semi-automatically, or manually, and are rated based on the amount of hardness they can remove before needing to be regenerated.
4. During the softening process, the calcium and magnesium ions are replaced with other ions, typically sodium (Na+) or potassium (K+), which are added to the ion exchanger reservoir as salts (NaCl and KCl).
5. The water softener collects the hardness minerals in its conditioning tank and periodically flushes them away to the drain during the regeneration process.

Frequently
Asked Questions
A water softener plant is a system that is used to remove hard water minerals such as calcium and magnesium, which can cause hardness in water. Hard water can cause a variety of problems, including build-up of mineral deposits on pipes and appliances, reduced effectiveness of soaps and detergents, and discoloration of clothes. A water softener plant uses ion exchange to remove hard water minerals and replace them with softer minerals, such as sodium.
A typical water softener plant usually includes a mineral tank and a brine tank. Within the mineral tank lies a bed of resin beads coated with sodium ions. As the hard water flows through the mineral tank, the calcium and magnesium ions in the water swap places with the sodium ions on the resin beads. This process effectively removes the hard water minerals and substitutes them with softer minerals. Meanwhile, the brine tank holds a concentrated sodium chloride (salt) solution, which is utilized to regenerate the resin beads once they become saturated with hard water minerals.
Water softener plants offer several advantages:
- Improved water quality by removing hard water minerals that can cause scaling, discoloration, and reduced soap/detergent effectiveness.
- Longer lifespan of appliances by preventing mineral buildup.
- Cost-effectiveness by reducing the need for repairs and replacements.
- Better lathering of soap due to the softened water.
The primary drawback of a water softener plant is the operational cost. The process necessitates using salt to regenerate the resin beads, which can be a significant expense. Furthermore, the system generates a substantial amount of brine waste, the disposal of which can also be costly.
Water softener plants find widespread application across various residential, commercial, and industrial settings, including:
- Homes: to enhance the quality of water for drinking and domestic use.
- Industries: to improve the efficacy of cleaning agents, mitigate scaling, and extend the lifespan of equipment.
- Power Plants: to prevent scaling in boilers and heat exchangers.
- Laboratories: to avert scaling in glassware and equipment.
The resin beads typically last for several years, depending on the level of use and water quality. However, regular maintenance is necessary to ensure the longevity of the resin beads.
