Rationale\n\nEnvironmental ImpactSoftened water (measured as residual sodium carbonate index) in which calcium and magnesium have been partly replaced by sodium is not suitable for irrigation use, as it tends to cause the development of alkali soils. Non-chemical devices are often used in place of traditional water softening for this application.\n\n \n\nSpecifications: Usage/Application: Industrial; Brand: Biokemikel; Automation Grade: Automatic; Water Source: Borewell Water; Capacity: 4000 Liter/hour; Pipe Fitting Size: 2 Inch; Softener Tank Type: Vertical; Material: FRP(Tank); Dimension: 6x3 Feet(HxL); Feed Flow Rate: Up to 4000; Number Of Filtration Passes: 3; Output TDS: 200; Total Hardness: 90 Shore A; Treatment Technique: Water softening; Weight: 650 KG; Working Temperature: 20 Degree C to 35 Degree C; Required Space: 6 Feet X 3 Feet; Maximum Operating Temperature: 35 Degree C; Regeneration Time: 90 Minutes; Country of Origin: Made in India; Model Number: BK2KLWSP; Power: 1.5 HP; Phase: Single Phase.\n\nThe presence of certain metal ions like calcium and magnesium principally as bicarbonates, chlorides, and sulfates in water causes a variety of problems.. Hard water leads to the buildup of limescale, which can foul plumbing, and promote galvanic corrosion. In industrial scale water softening plants, the effluent flow from the re-generation process can precipitate scale that can interfere with sewage systems.. The slippery feeling associated with washing in soft water is caused by the weaker attraction of the soap to the water ions when the water has been stripped of its mineral content. The surface of human skin has a light charge that the soap tends to bind with, requiring more effort and a greater volume of water to remove. Hard water contains calcium or magnesium ions that form insoluble salts upon reacting with soap, leaving a coating of insoluble stearates on tub and shower surfaces, commonly called soap scum..
