Industrial Water Softeners - Ion Exchange Systems
An industrial water softener is simply an ion exchange system that replaces the hardness scaling minerals in the water with sodium minerals, specifically minerals that cause hard water; these would include calcium, magnesium and others usually picked up as soluble bits in groundwater.
There are two major problems that hard water causes: the first is scale, which is the physical buildup of calcium and magnesium; this build up can reduce water flow in pipes and damage control vales which can result in blocked water lines. The second problem with hard water is its ability to render soap from lathering or becoming foamy, necessary in the cleaning process.

What do water softeners do?
Industrial water softeners are specific ion exchangers that are designed to remove ions which are positively charged.
Softeners mainly remove calcium (Ca2+) and magnesium (Mg2+) ions. Calcium and magnesium are often referred to as "hardness minerals". Softeners are sometimes even applied to remove iron.
The softening devices are able to remove up to five milligrams per liter (5 mg/L) of dissolved iron and can operate automatic, semi-automatic, or manual. Each type is rated on the amount of hardness it can remove before regeneration is necessary. Commercial water softeners collect hardness minerals within its conditioning tank and from time to time flushes them away to drain.
When an ion exchanger is applied for water softening, it will replace the calcium and magnesium ions in the water with other ions, for instance sodium or potassium. The exchanger ions are added to the ion exchanger reservoir as sodium and potassium salts (NaCl and KCl).
