both temperory and permanent hardness of water can be removed by ion exchange method which involves th replacement of one ion by another. synthetic organic materials are used for this purpose. the resin comprises of a hydrocardon frame work chemically bonded with positive ions (Na, H) and negative ions (OH). it is possible to remove all unwanted ions from water by passing through these resins. for example when hard water is passed through a coloumn filled with sodium zeolite (an ion exchange resin), it absorbs positive ions of calcium and magnsium thereby producing insoluble calcium and magnesium zeolites. sodium ions are passed into water. equation Ca(+2)(aq) + Na2-Zeolite(s) = Ca-Zeolite(s) + 2Na(+1)(aq)

Ca2+ ions (causing hardness) are removed from water by the ion-exchangers resin while putting Na+ or sometimes even H+ back into the water (i.e. exchanging ions from resin to water and backwards for another kind of ions)

How does an ion exchanger work?

Ion exchange column consists of a bed of ion exchange resin through which hard water is passed through and tis resin exchange ions and it engages the Ca and Mg ions.Sodium zeolite +Calcium sulphate gives Calcium zeolite and sodium sulphate


How can Hard water convert into soft water?

Hard water refers to water that has very high mineral content, which affects its behavior in pipes and its affect on other chemicals like soap, where it often causes the formation of soap scum. Hard water also has a tendency to form deposits in pipes. Normally you wouldn't WANT to make water become hard, and there are systems for trying to reduce the "hardness" of water in the pipes of your home.

What chemical convert hard water to soft water?

Hard water can be softened (have its minerals removed) by treating it with lime or by passing it over an ion exchange resin. The ion exchange resins are complex sodium salts. Water flows over the resin surface, dissolving the sodium. The calcium, magnesium, and other cations precipitate onto the resin surface. Sodium goes into the water, but the other cations stay with the resin. Very hard water will end up tasting saltier than water that had fewer dissolved minerals. Most of the ions have been removed in soft water, but sodium and various anions (negatively charged ions) still remain. Water can be deionized by using a resin that replaces cations with hydrogen and anions with hydroxide. With this type of resin, the cations stick to the resin and the hydrogen and hydroxide that are released combine to form pure water.

What is the level of hard water and treatment?

Needs to be measured. Mostly set by EPA, states, or local municipalities. Can be made less hard be many different processes, such as ion exchange and/or reverse osmosis.
