A water softener is an appliance designed to remove hard minerals such as calcium and magnesium from water, resulting in softer water. It operates through a process called ion exchange, where hard mineral ions are substituted with sodium ions.

Reverse osmosis and ultrafilter drinking water systems employ multiple filtration stages to eliminate impurities and contaminants from well or municipal water. Reverse osmosis utilizes a semipermeable membrane to filter out impurities, while ultrafilter systems use a sequence of filters to remove particles and bacteria.

An acid water neutralizer is a system that increases the pH of acidic water to reduce its corrosive effects on pipes and fixtures. It functions by introducing a neutralizing agent, such as calcite or magnesium oxide, into the water supply.

Carbon filters utilize activated carbon to extract chlorine, sediment, and other impurities from water, improving its taste and odor. The activated carbon attracts and captures these impurities, resulting in cleaner, more refreshing water.

An ozone system is a water treatment method that uses ozone gas to disinfect and purify water. The ozone gas, generated by an ozone generator, is injected into the water supply. It acts as a potent oxidant, eliminating bacteria, viruses, and other microorganisms while also removing odors, colors, and unpleasant tastes.

Sediment filters are devices designed to remove larger particles such as sand, silt, and sediment from water. These filters function by capturing particles as water passes through the filter media, resulting in clearer and cleaner water.

Iron, sulfur, and manganese filters are systems that remove these specific minerals from water, which can cause staining, odors, and other issues. These filters operate through an oxidation process, where the minerals are oxidized and subsequently trapped in a filter media.

A chemical feed system is a device that introduces specific chemicals into water for various treatment purposes, such as disinfection or pH adjustment. The system operates by injecting a precise amount of the required chemical into the water supply.
