How to use a fully automatic water softener correctly?

If you want the fully automatic water softener to work better, you need regular and immediate maintenance to extend its lifespan. In order to ensure better use of fully automatic softened water equipment, it is necessary to carry out daily maintenance and upkeep.

1. Use and Maintenance of Salt Tanks

This system is equipped with a salt dissolving tank, which is mainly used for regeneration. The material is PVC or stainless steel, or other materials. To maintain cleanliness, regular cleaning should be carried out for long-term use.

2. Use and maintenance of softening tanks

It is a key sealing equipment in the preparation process of softened water. It is made of stainless steel and glass fiber reinforced plastic, and contains a certain amount of cation exchange resin. Their main function is to reduce calcium and magnesium ions in the water when the raw water flows through the resin layer and the cation resin in the water undergoes Single displacement reaction, so as to provide customers with industrial softened water that meets national standards.

After a period of operation of the fully automatic softening water equipment, when the exchange capacity of the resin is saturated with calcium and magnesium ions in the water, the salt tank automatically supplies water, and the ion exchange resin is regenerated with salt water to restore its exchange capacity.

3. Selection of resin

The general principle of resin selection is to choose a resin with a large exchange capacity. It is necessary to choose a resin with high mechanical strength, uniform particles, and good heat resistance. When selecting the resin used for the cation bed, choose a resin with a large difference in wet to true density, but it must be a strong acid type resin.

Pre treatment of new resins. New resins contain excess raw materials and impurities, as well as incomplete reaction products. When the resin comes into contact with water, acid, alkali, or other solutions, these impurities will enter the solution, contaminating the effluent quality and affecting the process performance and service life of the resin. Therefore, new resins must undergo pre treatment before use.

4. How to Keep Ion Exchange Resins Well

A. Anti freezing: The storage environment of the resin should be above 40 ℃. If the temperature is below 5 ℃, to prevent the resin from freezing, the resin can be placed in a salt water solution.

B. Anti drying: Due to the disappearance of moisture in the resin during use or storage and transportation, the volume of the resin suddenly expands and shrinks, resulting in the crushing or mechanical strength reduction of the resin, loss or reduction of ion exchange capacity. When this situation occurs, the resin should not be directly dropped into water. Instead, it should be soaked in saturated salt water to slowly expand and not break.

C. Mold prevention: If ion exchange resin is left unused in the exchanger for a long time, it can cause moss growth and bacterial growth, leading to mold contamination of the resin. Regular water replacement and backwashing are necessary. It can also be soaked in 1.5% formaldehyde.
