Water softeners are essential to protect equipment from salt. If we do not resort to a filter for the coffee machine or the ice machine we have, then the desalinator is the only way.
In essence, they are special ion exchangers, for the removal of positively charged calcium (Ca2 +) and magnesium (Mg2+) ions. These ions remain in the pipes of the machines. Softeners protect coffee machines, washing machines, ice machines, steam ovens, etc. from salt. They are very easy to install and have low maintenance costs. In essence, a cost is a spare part due to natural wear and tear (eg water valves, caps or gaskets).
Resin regeneration is done manually with table salt. With this we carry out desalination every 15 days. The outer casing is made of stainless steel.
