Explanation of the softener system
Water passes through the internal cylinder of the softener unit where high
quality resin beads collect the hard water salts. The softened water is then
passed back into the system for use around the house.
After a time the resin beads become full and must be regenerated.
A brine solution is drawn up from the tank and passed over the resin beads
in the cylinder. This releases the hard water salts which are then flushed
away leaving the resin ready to begin its collection again.
The regeneration process is fully automatic and takes place late at night
when there is no soft water requirement.
