Hard water often proves unsuitable for many industrial and domestic purposes. When ‘hard’ water is mentioned, it indicates the presence of excess calcium (Ca) and magnesium (Mg) ions compared to normal water. Carbonate hardness is identified as temporary hardness, while non-carbonate hardness is labeled as permanent hardness. The hardness of water increases as more calcium and magnesium ions dissolve into it. Limestone sediments and carbon dioxide, present in all waters exposed to the atmosphere and especially in groundwater, contribute to these ions. The ion exchange process provides the simplest method for softening hard water.

Hassles of Hardness

Detergents react adversely with hard water. This causes even your baby’s soft towels to turn rough on their delicate skin.
Soaps and shampoos fail to lather, leaving you feeling unwashed. Skin becomes dry, and hair turns dry and rough, leading to hair loss.
Residual deposits and scale buildup from hard water damage appliances such as heaters, washing machines, showers, and dishwashers. Appliance lifespans decrease by 45%, and maintenance costs increase by 25%. Fabrics deteriorate and fade, with fabric life reduced by 15%.
Scales from hard water clog pipes, faucets, valves, and fixtures. The cleaning power of detergents is reduced by hard water. Detergent requirements decrease by about 70% with soft water.
Food and water taste different. Cooking takes longer than before, and cooking gas consumption increases by 30%. Scale deposits on utensils.

Water Softening Process

The ion exchange process, used for softening, involves resin and is a common and easy method for removing hardness (calcium and magnesium) from water. In ion exchange, undesirable ions are replaced with more desirable ones. During the softening process, raw water with hardness passes through a bed of cation resin in sodium form. The resin captures calcium (Ca) and magnesium (Mg) ions and releases sodium ions in exchange. This process, known as the service cycle, softens the hard water.

Chemical Reaction During Softening Process

Ca (HCO3)2 + Na2 R = RCa + NaHCO3
CaSO4 + Na2 R = RCa + Na2SO4MgCl2 + Na2
R = RMg + NaCl

Regeneration Process

The resin softens raw water until exhausted. Regeneration, using sodium chloride (NaCl) solution stored in the regeneration tank, restores the resin. The ejector tube injects the solution, replacing calcium (Ca) and magnesium (Mg) ions. Regeneration occurs daily, every few days, or weekly based on plant design and usage.

Chemical Reaction During Regeneration Process

RCa + NaCl = RNa + CaCl2
RMg + NaCl = RNa + MgCl2
