Results
| Water indicator | Water indicator | |
| Total hardness: | mg/l CaCO 3 | |
| Total soft water produce | m 3/Cycle | |
| Total hardness removed | Kg Grains/cycle | |
| The volume of Ion exchange resin needed | L | |
| Filter diameter tank recommended | m | |
| Filtration velocity | m 3/m 2.h | |
| Recommended Brine Tank Size | L | |
| Salt need for regeneration in one cycle | Kg | |
- Determine whether the water you are using is hard or soft water
- Determine softening tank size
- Determine water softener system capacity
- Calculate the required volume of ion exchange resin
- Calculate how long it takes for a cycle then regeneration
- Calculate the amount of salt needed to regeneration
