The newly designed water softener works on on Exchange principle arid is used along with Quartz or Glass distillers. The water softener prevents accumulation of sludge (i.e_ deposits of Calcium and Magnesium salts which renders water hardness). The Tap water / Bore well water is fed at the inlet and softened water is drawn at the outlet, The softened water is fed into the Boiler of the distillation unit. The unit can be recharged again with a saturated solution of Sodium Chloride. The unit delivers approximately 2000 ltrs. of soft water for one cycle of regeneration.

During regeneration. 20 ttrs. of sodium chloride solution is passed through the water softener slowly for period of 1 hr.
