Industrial Water Softener & Filtration Systems
Water softening, or water conditioning, is the process of removing excess mineral content from a water source. A commercial water softener system is an essential water pretreatment solution for industrial and commercial facilities in most areas of the country. Most commercial water conditioners work by passing the water through a salt-based medium. When this happens, a chemical process called ion exchange takes place — where the calcium and magnesium ions in the water are replaced by sodium ions. The result is “softened” water that does not cause scale. Softened water is far less damaging to industrial equipment, and can greatly increase the efficiency of your equipment and plant.
Over 85 percent of U.S. water systems deliver hard water, or water that contains a high concentration of dissolved minerals, especially calcium and magnesium.
While these minerals aren’t dangerous to human health or the environment, they do cause problems for industrial equipment and heating/cooling systems. The minerals tend to precipitate out of the water and form a difficult-to-remove chalky deposit called limescale. This substance can damage components, corrode metal parts, and interfere with optimal functioning and efficiency of equipment.
