Is it an Ion Exchange water softener( do you have to feed it salt?) Typically calcium and magnesium ions that make up "hard water" are attracted to a medium, such as tiny plastic grains, that have a positive charge, thus removing them from the water flowing through the softener. Periodically the softener regenerates, exchanging the calcium and magnesium for the sodium and flushing it all down the drain to begin the process all over again. To avoid loss of service during regeneration a second unit is normally employed and operated alternately. Hope that helps. Jim P.S. Try the Culligan website.

Genrerally for the Palm Oil Mills, the soft water is for Boilers, one need to determine the quantity of water required per hour. In some cases the boiler water treatment plant will require demineralizing plant, it is thus essential that water sample is first sent to the lab for analysis before considering the treatment method.GJ
