At Peeters, we offer customized softening systems that improve water quality by reducing hardness. Our sustainable solutions ensure that businesses in various industries benefit from softer water, which extends equipment life and ensures more efficient use of water in processes.
What is a water softener?
Softening is the process of treating hard water, rich in minerals such as calcium and magnesium, to reduce water hardness. This prevents scale build-up, protects equipment and improves productivity. Softened water optimizes water quality without harmful deposits, which both protects machinery and pipes and promotes animal and crop health.
The benefits of water softeners
Our softening systems offer several benefits to businesses that depend on optimal water quality:
- Better water quality: reduces water hardness, providing cleaner water for animals, crops and systems.
- Equipment protection: prevents scale build-up in pipes, machinery and equipment, reducing maintenance costs and extending service life.
- Improved Efficiency: Makes systems more efficient by preventing clogging and wear from scale build-up.
- Increased productivity: Healthier animals and crops by using softer water, leading to better growth and performance.
- Fewer breakdowns: by preventing scale build-up, blockages in systems are avoided, ensuring more reliable plant operation.
Our water softeners
Both the HQ-Sentica Home and the HQ-Sentica Sepa ensure perfect softening of your water. The control valve ensures a low pressure loss, so you will have no problems with this. The materials used are very durable and thus guarantee a long life. The mass in the resin filter also remains highly effective in the long run.
The HQ-Sentica home combines the resin cylinder and salt reservoir in one total solution. This ensures ease of use and easy installation. With the HQ-Sentica Sepa, the resin cylinder and salt reservoir are separated. This makes this version very suitable for installation in tight spaces such as the meter box, meter pit or crawl space.
How do our water softeners work?
Our softeners work by ion exchange. Lime consists of magnesium and calcium. Inside the softener is a resin cylinder, these balls of synthetic resin are saturated with sodium ions. When water containing lime flows past the resin, the magnesium and calcium ions are exchanged with sodium ions. Sodium ions are not harmful to humans or animals. So the lime is pulled out of the water, resulting in soft water.
After a while, the resin cylinder is saturated with magnesium and calcium ions. When this is the case, it is time for the automatic regeneration process. The first step in the regeneration process is to create brine. The softener is equipped with a salt reservoir. Water is put into the salt reservoir to create brine water. When there is enough brine water in the softener, the brine water is flushed through the resin cylinder. The brine water is flushed away through the drain and therefore does not impart a salty taste to the water flowing through your home. To ensure this, the softener rinses one more time with clean water to remove the last salt residue. After regeneration, the softener is again ready to treat hard water.
Softeners: clean water for maximum performance
In the agribusiness sector, softened water prevents limescale build-up, resulting in healthier animals and better crop growth. In the rental sector, softened water prevents damage caused by scale in temporary water installations. In water technology, softening systems protect water treatment plants and pumping plants from the adverse effects of hard water.
