Water Softening Plant
Why Hard Water Needs Softening
Hard water is rich in dissolved calcium and magnesium picked up from rocks, soil and ageing pipelines. The excess minerals cause:
White scaling on taps, kettles, boilers and RO membranes
Higher energy bills due to scale insulating heating elements
Stiff, faded laundry and soap wastage
Bitter taste and cloudy beverages
Converting hard water to soft water cuts scale by up to 90 %, extends appliance life, and delivers cleaner, better-tasting water for drinking, process, and hygiene.
How Our Water Softener Works
Our flagship softening systems use high-capacity ion-exchange resin beads. As hard water flows through the resin bed:
Ion Exchange – Calcium (Ca²⁺) and magnesium (Mg²⁺) swap places with harmless sodium (Na⁺) ions held on the resin.
Continuous Supply – When the resin becomes saturated, an automated regeneration cycle flushes it with a brine solution, re-charging the beads for the next service run.
Smart Controller – A PLC monitors hardness, flow, and salt level to minimise water and salt consumption.
For sites where salt is restricted, we also supply Electro-Magnetic Softeners that alter mineral crystallisation without chemicals.

Frequently Asked Questions
How often does the softener regenerate?
Typically once every 15 – 20 m³ of treated water, but the PLC triggers regeneration based on actual hardness, so you never waste salt.
Will softened water taste salty?
No. The added sodium is minimal—about the same as a slice of bread per litre—and far below WHO guidelines.
Do you offer zero-discharge solutions?
Yes. We pair the softener with a brine-recovery and RO polishing loop, eliminating liquid waste.
How do I choose the right capacity?
Share your inlet hardness (ppm), peak flow (m³/h) and daily consumption. Our engineers run a sizing model and propose the most economical unit.
