Hard Water Treatment
This website contains information on hard water, problems associated with hardwater, the benefits of soft water, and water treatment.

You will find chocies of packaged water treatment softeners, potssium based water softeners, reverse osmosis water treatment filters, and magnetic catalytic water treatment conditioners.

Hard Water Problems

Symptoms of hard water are soap scum in the bath tub, shower, sinks and hard water spots on faucets and fixtures. Hard water calcium and magnesium minerals prevent soaps form lathering and react with soaps and detergents to form an insoluble, sticky residue that's difficult to rinse from bathtubs, sinks, faucets and fixtures. Hair can also become dry and brittle. Hard water can cause scale inside plumbing and in your dishwasher, hot water heater and washing machine. Thus, causing water pressure drops and mechanical parts stop working.

 

The Benefits Of Treating Hard Water

Clothes and towels get brighter and whiter using less detergent.Washing machine and dishwasher last longer with less mineral scaling. Sheets and clothes get cleaner, softer and last longer.Cleaning-supply costs are reduce by 50% to 75%.

No more hard water spots or etching on dishes, glasses and crystal. Water flow and pressure are improved by less build-up in pipes. Water heater efficiency is increased by less mineral scaling.Reduces existing water scale and build-up.

Showers, tub and sink cleaning is easier with less soap scum. Mineral staining and discoloring is eliminated. Skin feels smoother after showers and baths.

Hair is softer and more manageable.

 

Water Softening

Water Softeners are used to treat hard water. They work by replacing the calcium and magnesium in the water with either potassium or sodium. Our well water softeners will also remove large amounts of iron and manganese.

 

How RainDance Water Systems Water Softeners Work

Water softeners operate on a ion exchange process. In this process, water passes through a resin media bed. The resin is saturated with either potssium or sodium. The ion exchange process takes place as hard water passes through the softening resin. The hard water minerals (calicum,magnesium) attach themselves to the resin beads while sodium or potassium on the resin is released into the water. When the resin becomes saturated with hard water (calcium and magnesium), it must be recharged. The recharging is done by passing a brine solution through the resin. The potassium or sodium replaces the calcium and magnesium which are discharged in the waste water.

 

Our water softener purchases include potassium pellets as it does not add sodium to your water.

 

Water Conditioning

Magnetic Water Conditioners or Physical Water Softeners work by altering the Calcium ions (hard water scale) such that they loose their ability to cause adhesive scale to your fixtures.

 

How RainDance Water Systems Magnetic Water Conditioners Work

By passing water through a magnetic field, the calcium ion's are altered in such a way that they loose their ability to cause scale. The benefits are numerous; although the water is not technically soft, it has the useful properties of soft water, that is, it won't cause limescale in your pipes thus increasing heating efficiency and lengthening the lifespan of any clothes washed in the conditioned water. We solve hard water problems problems through the use of a 3-step process:

1 Step: The filtered water passes through a spring-loaded chamber which creates a small pressure drop (unnoticable to you). This pressure drop initiates the formation of calcium hardness crystals.

2 Step:The calcium hardness crystals then pass through a catalytic surface which greatly multiplies the number of crystals. It is the last two steps (pressure drop & catalytic surface) that makes our treatment significantly more effective than other magnetic treatment systems.

3 Step:The multitude of calcium crystals pass through a strong magnetic field which serves to hold the crystals in suspension rendering them harmless up to 72 hours to your plumbing & plumbing fixtures.The entire process bonds calcium ions to each other rather than to your plumbing and plumbing fixtures. A simple damp cloth (if at all) is more than sufficient to remove any residual mineral deposits rather than the usual abrasives and "elbow grease" that is normally required. The surface tension of the water is also reduced which results in a higher quality of water absorption into the human body and plant life.
