Water is referred to as hard water when it has a significant mineral concentration. When there is a significant amount of dissolved magnesium and calcium in the water, water hardness frequently results. You could experience hard water when you wash your hands or take a shower, if you live in an apartment or house without a water softener.

It's crucial to utilize a water softener that can reduce the calcium and magnesium levels in the water, to counteract water hardness. The water softener system uses water from a mineral tank and resin beads, to soften the water before it is sent to your home or business establishment.

Let’s understand some concepts of demand regeneration in water softeners.

What is demand regeneration in water softeners?

If you're wondering how a water softener determines when to regenerate, the method of regeneration that the system employs is what determines when to do so. When the control valve signals that it is ready to begin the regeneration process, a water softener will typically decide to do so.

A water softener can use one of two types of regeneration, including:

1- Demand regeneration in water softeners

Before beginning the regeneration process, the control valve on a water softener will monitor how much water is being utilized, when using demand regeneration settings. Only once a predetermined volume of water has passed through the water softener, this procedure starts. Demand regeneration ensures that the regeneration process always takes place at a predetermined period, even if hard water can have varying degrees of pollutants.

As a result, the resin beads shouldn't ever become too ineffective before they are cleaned correctly. Depending on how much water you consume in a given week, the regeneration process could happen more frequently.

2- Time Initiated Regeneration in water softeners

Water use is not taken into account because the time-initiated regeneration process doesn't start, until after a certain amount of time has passed. Even if you haven't used much water this week, the regeneration process will still happen on schedule.

A clock that notifies the water softener precisely when the regeneration process should begin, will be installed in the control valve. There are two parameters that you must consider. You'll need to know, for instance, how many days pass between each regeneration cycle.

Setting the time of day when the regeneration process will take place is also crucial. The optimal time of day for this process to take place is probably at night, when water use is at its lowest. As said previously, the full procedure takes about two hours to complete.

Which type of regeneration is more reliable?

Despite the fact that either of these techniques would effectively soften any hard water that is delivered to your house or business, demand regeneration is thought to be the more dependable, efficient, and successful method.

Only once the resin beads' ability for softening water has been exhausted can the water softener be cleaned, using demand regeneration. On the other hand, the regeneration process that is triggered over time may filter the water, either before or after the resin beads are depleted.
