This ensures fresh brine for each new regeneration. By utilizing Brine Reclamation, a facility will normally see a salt usage reduction of around 25%-35%, without any negative effects on softener capacity, efficiency, or lifespan. For more information on commercial water softening systems, please visit WCC’s website at: watercontrolinc.com or call us at 763-427-9638. - Page 5 An Employee-Owned Company SOFTENER OPERATION As water enters the softener, it passes over a resin bed in a special tank. The resin consists of tiny beads of a plastic called styrene. These beads attract and hold sodium ions and exchange the sodium for hardness ions when encountered. Over time, the resin becomes saturated with hardness ions and no longer removes hardness materials.

Page 19: Service
An Employee-Owned Company SERVICE You must keep salt in the tank. The salt tank operates best when the salt level is below half full. If the tank is filled more than halfway, salt bridging may occur. The salt pellets wedge against each other and do not fall into the water at the bottom. Bridging will eventually provide no salt to make brine. The softener will re-charge but not recondition the media. - Page 20 Breaking a Salt Bridge...
