The amount of minerals in water is known as its hardness. High mineral levels means your water is hard while low mineral levels is soft water. A water softener system removes minerals from water so that you have soft water. A popular water treatment system is the ion exchange system. This system runs water over resin, typically made from sodium chloride, to attract and remove minerals from your water. Regeneration is the process of flushing these minerals from the resin so that it can continue to remove minerals from water. This is done by using salt, which must be replenished regularly by the system’s owner. How often should it regenerate?

In high enough dosages, iron can cause orange or black staining on almost anything it comes in contact with. This includes clothes, water fixtures, sinks, tubs, and toilets. It can also leave a metallic aftert...
