A Complete Guide on Water Softener and its Installation

Water is the driving force of all nature. This is the reason that water is considered as one of the most important element needed for human survival. Human can continue their life without any other things and luxury but it is quite difficult to survive without water. Even it is vital for the life of animal and plants. But now the quality of the water that we receive in our homes, is degrading day by day. It has lost its values and quality due to the presence of hazards like pollution, insecticides, pesticides etc.These hazardous substances , minerals  and contaminants founded in water, are not good for us and our family. Because with the consumption of water with bad mineral, several impurities and harmful substances and different types of contaminants, we will become an easy target of the  various health problems.


 There are  only few sources of fresh water. It is necessary for us to use the water carefully and maintain the natural resources of water.When rainwater falls from the clouds it will get soaked into the ground and then it became mineral water. This mineral water is generally safe for drinking. But when  it falls on the wastes, it get contaminated and then it becomes useless. It becomes contaminate , because water picks up several harmful substances like calcium and magnesium, and various unuseful metal particles, when it comes in the contact of land or soil. For purifying this water , we have to go through from different processres  with high costs.


Hardness occurs in the water because of the presence of the calcium and magnesium ions. These calcium and magnesium ions are the main reasons that cause hardness in the water. Now , in recent time, this hard water issue has become a major concerns for the peoples,  because they have to face a lot of difficulties in doing their day to day water based tasks and activities due to increased level of hardness. Hard water can give us  problems that can disturb and breakdown our water based home appliances and also to the health of our loved ones.


To protect our loved ones from different health concerns caused by the hard water and for reducing the maintenance and replacement cost, we have to look for a water softener that can overcome  the hardness of the water. Quality Water Treatment will offer their advise and help in selecting the most suitable water softener that will help us to eliminate harmful minerals, impurities, unwanted metal and different types of contaminants from the water and convert the hard water into well-treated softened water.By choosing the water softener that suits our needs and usage, we can secure ourself and our family from the potential hazards caused by the hard water.


Water softener is a device which removes the hardness of the water and makes it safe for consumption. It simply works on  the basic principle of ion exchange process. In this procedure, harmful particles or ions of  calcium and magnesium  are traded or replaced with useful  sodium ions or particles.  All the water softeners comes with  a large tank called as mineral tank having negatively charged  beads coated with sodium salt. Hard water composed of the positive charge calcium and magnesium. When this hard water is passed  through the mineral tank,then these positively charged charge calcium and magnesium get attached to the negative charged sodium ions and the remaining water is treated as soft water, because the harmful substances are finally replaced with useful sodium ions.


Problems We Can Face Due To The Presence Of Hard Water:


•    Environmental and Health Concerns

•    Unpleasant taste

•    Reduces the ability of soap to produce a lather.

•    Appliances will have mineral scales on them and affects their working.

•    Clogging of the water pipes


Factors To Consider Before The Installation Of Water Softener:


•    Remember to shut down the supply of water from the main source  of water supply.

•    Turn off  all the  water heaters along with their main power supply.

•    Remember to select the space for the installation of water softener.

•    Hard and solid surface, on which we can place the softener unit.

•    Rember to fix the drain line directly to a household drainage.

•    Availability of power source, standard US plug, 120v 60hz

•    Nearby to the main water supply line.

•    The installation place must be well cleaned

•    Make a cut on the primary water supply pipe with the help of using  a pipe cutter.

•    Proper Installation of an elbow that is to be fitted into main supply line.

•    Remember to have the measurement of pipes that will be helpful for the bypass valve in obtaining the meaningful  measurements from the water .

•    Pipes must be attach to the system unit by using the compression fittings, which comes along with system package.

•    Hose must be clamped to the sytem unit, then place it where it is supposed to drain.

•    Overflow tube must be connected to the brine tank as mentioned in the user manual specified by the manufacturer’s.

•    Make sure to fix the valve to the bypass direction.

•    Finally ,it’s time to connect the unit to power outlet and make sure to set the valve which will be suitable for backwash position.

•    No stains on dishes and tiles.

•    Taste of the water improves

•    Health concerns get diminished.


It’s already known that water is one of our vital needs. So how could we compromise on it? For removing hardness we can have water softeners as an alternative at our place. It has multiple features like different grain capacity, different packages etc., which makes it suitable for everyone due to its specification and capabilities of fulfilling the requirement of water of our families. In this way, we can live and enjoy much healthier and happier life.
