Page 4: How Your Water Conditioner Works
HOW YOUR WATER CONDITIONER WORKS SIMTAN conditioners remove hardness, iron, manganese and tannin in the water by an ion exchange process. They remove ions such as calcium, magnesium, iron and manganese in the water by trading it for sodium ions producing soft water. The tannin in the water is exchanged similarly through an exchange process exchanging the Tannin for Chloride ions in the water. -
