What is the service life of the softening resin?

Usually, high-quality softening water resins, such as imported brands of softening resins, have a service life of 3-5 years, but in actual operation, the resin will be affected by some factors. The service life of domestic softening resin will be shorter, usually 1-2 years. However, in actual use, it is still necessary to decide according to the quality of the treated water, if the hardness of the raw water is too large, the resin operation overload, it is necessary to increase the frequency of resin replacement.

What factors affect the service life of the softened resin?

1, because the raw water pipeline is usually carbon steel pipeline, water and pipeline oxidation reaction, the formation of iron ions, after entering the resin resin function exchange groups with the extension of the operation time and decline, its performance is high salt consumption, poor regeneration water quality.

How to extend the service life of softened resin?

Over time, there are a number of factors that can reduce the performance of the softened water resin. However, there are steps we can take to improve performance and extend the life of the system. Chlorine and chloramines can be removed from the water by installing an activated carbon filter before the water softener. If the inlet pressure is unnecessarily high, hydraulic shock can sometimes be reduced by installing a pressure regulator. The problems caused by iron and manganese fouling can be greatly improved by adding resin bed cleaners to the salt well of the brine tank each time salt is added. Taking these steps will help ensure that your water softener will achieve full system life and performance.

How long does the softening resin usually need to be replaced?

Softened resin replacement time is to be determined according to different water quality conditions, the worse the water quality, the shorter the life of the resin. Because there are many different substances in the water, among which iron ions, aluminum ions, active chlorine, organic matter and other substances can lead to resin poisoning failure, so the length of the resin is also determined by the quality of the water quality. According to previous experience: general water quality, resin can be used for about 2-4 years; If the water quality is poor, the resin can be used for less than 2 years; Good water quality, resin can be used for more than 3 years. Summary: High water hardness, frequent regeneration frequency. It depends on the water quality.

2, repeated regeneration of resin: due to the long-term and frequent regeneration of resin, each regeneration, the resin do mutual scrub movement, by water pressure and mechanical wear between the resin, so the crosslinking value (mechanical strength) of the resin will gradually decline, skeleton deformation, the operation of its performance as the water sometimes yellow, water production cycle is significantly shortened, resulting in the final regeneration effect is not ideal.
