Hardness ions, calcium and magnesium build up on piping, boilers, steam generators, heat exchangers, water heaters and any other steam related equipment. The scale build up impedes water flow resulting in costly repairs, increased energy consumption, and clogged heat exchangers and boiler tubes. The excess hardness present in the drinking water will lead to health hazard.

Softened water is also used in many process applications such as the production of cleaning agents and chemical production. For laundry and dish washing, the use of softened water will significantly reduce the amount of soaps and detergents, resulting in reduced operating expenses. The lifespan of linens, clothing, appliances and fixtures will also be greatly extended.

The water softening methods includes: ion exchange resin, Nano membrane, etc.
