Softening

Water softening is a process in which the ions of calcium, magnesium and sometimes iron are removed. It is these ions in hard water that make it difficult for products and systems with other positively charged ions to dissolve in the water.

Protecting Systems from Hard Water

Understanding Hard Water

Hard water contains minerals like calcium and magnesium that can cause scaling in boilers, cooling towers, and HVAC systems, reducing efficiency and increasing maintenance.

How Softening Works

Enwa’s softening solutions remove these minerals, most commonly through ion exchange, where hardness ions are replaced with sodium ions. Other methods, such as precipitation, membrane-based methods, or chemical treatments, can also be applied depending on system needs.

Benefits of Water Softening

By controlling water hardness, Enwa helps maintain energy efficiency, protect equipment, and ensure reliable operation across a variety of industrial and commercial systems.
