Magnesium with a new batch of sodium ions, and the cycle begins again.Įcowater water softeners are Energy-Star rated, which is a mark that indicates a product has met the strictest guideline for energy efficiency, set by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the US Department of Energy. Water softener will regenerate with salt brine, which replaces the captured calcium and When the resin reaches its capacity for water exchange, the The resin beads hold sodium ions, which are exchanged with calcium and magnesiumĪnd thereby “softening” the water.
