Do I need to change the resin when adding salt to the water softener?

Last time, I posted an article with many people asking me whether I need to replace the resin when adding salt, and today I will answer: when adding salt to the water softening equipment, it is not necessary to replace the resin, and when adding salt to the water softening equipment, whether the resin needs to be replaced depends on the specific situation. In general, the salting of water softeners is mainly used to regenerate resin and restore its function of softening water. Resin is the core component of water softening equipment, which removes metal ions such as calcium and magnesium in water through the exchange of resin, thereby softening water quality. When the resin is saturated by adsorption, it needs to be regenerated by adding salt to reactivate the softening function of the resin. The resin filter material itself is a consumable, but in the regeneration and working state, the mechanical collision of resin particles with each other may cause it to fragment, and there will be a failure part if the regeneration is not complete.

However, if the performance of the resin deteriorates seriously after long-term use, such as a significant decrease in adsorption capacity and poor regeneration effect, then it is necessary to consider replacing the resin. When adding salt, it is recommended to regularly check the state of the resin to ensure its normal operation, prolong the service life of the water softening equipment, and ensure the effect of softening the water quality. The normal operation of water softening equipment is of great significance for both domestic life and industrial production, so it is very necessary to regularly maintain and replace key components to ensure the safety and cleanliness of water quality. The lifespan of domestic resin is about one year, while imported high-quality resin can be used for 15 to 2 years. Therefore, whether the water softener equipment needs to replace the resin needs to be decided based on the actual condition and service life of the resin, not just when the salt is added. Only by keeping the water softening equipment in good condition can we effectively remove harmful substances in the water and ensure people's health and quality of life. Therefore, when using water softening equipment, it is necessary to pay attention to maintenance details, replace resin and other important components in time, ensure the normal operation of the equipment, and let the clean and healthy softened water source continue to provide guarantee for life and production.
