Hi all,

[@user-wy5yq2dg1b]

Thanks for the insight. Could you help me understand this please, I see some installers pour water into the brine tank. Is it done that way?

me gustan sus videos y quiero saber como calcula un suavizador?

[@wengkinlau9580]

With very hard water, after it is softened, what happens to the calcium in the water? Where has it gone?

[@maherm.7966]

Hello, The water in my house reach 15 GPG, What do you recommend to install in order to get soft water, Regards

Hi, So I have a borehole on my property located in South Africa. I did a full lab test on the water. It seems that it has a very high hardness of like 520 mg/L of CaCO3. The sodium content in this water is 320mg/L which is considered high. THis is before any filtration or softening. I approached two different companies and they stated that because the sodium is already high in the water it will cause some of the ionic beads in the softner vessel to release the calcium and magnesium molecules that was exchanged in the previous ion exchange cycle.. So basically a close loop where it would exchange some sodium for magnesium and calcium but later it echanges back and the magnesium and calsium would return into the supply water going into the house. So basically they told me its not really posible to soften the water with a water softner and the best would be to look at reverse osmosis.. Do you agree with this statement regarding softner systems for hard water with high sodium content?

G after all this I never heard how hard is hard. Mine has 350 ppm n it’s hard. How much does it need to be soft ??
