The product is a convenient solution to all your hard water problems. Water softening is the removal of calcium, magnesium, and certain other metal cations in hard water. A water softener is a pressurized water treatment device in which hard water is passed through a bed of cation exchange media for the purpose of exchanging calcium and magnesium ions for sodium or potassium ions, thus producing softened water which is more desirable for laundering, bathing, and dish-washing. A water softener is a whole house solution for hard water; it is not a water filter.
The benefits of using a softener include keeping all fixtures from scaling or corrosion, using fewer detergents in the washing machine for keeping clothes soft and bright, eliminating streaks and spots on glassware and dishes, prolonging the life of the water heater and the refrigerator ice maker by preventing any calcium and magnesium carbonate deposits. A water softener can be used for the whole house or may be connected to the water heater only, thus saving in the operation cost.
Sand filter is a system for removing turbidity & physical impurities from water. Sand filter is widely used along with water softener, iron remover & other treatment systems to get continuous flow of water. Sand filter removes suspended particles from the feed water.
Sand filter is a micron filter that traps sediments and other matter like mud, silt, rust and dirt which affect the taste and appearance of your water. This filter is designed to be three layer sand media (sand, gravel and pebbles). A sand filter has dirt holding capacity of 3 to 6 kg TSS / m2 of sand surface. When the filters are loaded with particles, the flow direction is reversed and the flow is increased to clean the filter again.
The iron filter contains a bed of silex and birm media through which the raw water passes and in the process all the physical impurities and iron contents upto 5 ppm are being removed.
