A water softener is a device that removes hardness-causing minerals like calcium and magnesium from water, making it soft and suitable for household use.

Water softeners typically use ion exchange technology to replace calcium and magnesium ions with sodium or potassium ions, effectively softening the water.

Using a water softener prevents scale buildup in pipes and appliances, improves soap efficiency, extends appliance life, and provides softer skin and hair.

Regeneration frequency depends on water hardness and usage, but most systems regenerate every few days. Regular servicing and salt refilling are recommended for optimal performance.
