Water Softening Cartridge

About Water Softening:

Hard Water contains dissolved minerals in the form of Calcium (Ca), Magnesium (Mg), and Iron (Fe).  Removal of these minerals is accomplished by softening the water through an ion exchange process using water softener resin.  As the water flows through the mineral tank of the water softener, the dissolved minerals become attached to the resin, creating soft water. 

Advantages to Using a Water Softening Cartridge:

• Higher Quality Drinking Water
• Prevents Hard Water Scale
• Prevents Staining on Bathroom & Kitchen Fixtures as well as Dishes, Dishwasher, Washing Machine and Clothes
• Significantly Reduces Soap and Cleaning Product Consumption
• Provides Excellent Grooming & Cosmetic Benefits
• Reduces Water Heating Costs
• Prolongs the Life of Water Heaters, Icemakers, Dishwashers, Coffeemakers and Plumbing Fixtures.

Designed for point of use softening, these cartridges are ideal to provide soft water to a single appliance, ice or beverage machine, or other equipment. Hard Water contains dissolved minerals in the form of Calcium (Ca), Magnesium (Mg), and Iron (Fe). Removal of these minerals is accomplished by softening the water through an ion exchange process using water softening filter cartridge. As the water flows through the resin in the filter cartridge, the dissolved minerals become attached to the resin, creating soft water. Available in 10” & 20” Standard and Big Blue Sizes, these filter cartridges will work in standard filter housings.

How to refill an empty Cartridge

• Unscrew the bottom cap from the DI cartridge and remove the foam ring.
• Pour in the DI resin and pack it down tightly as hard as you can. Tap on a counter to help settle the resin.
• At this point the resin should be tightly packed flush to the rim.
• Put the foam ring back inside the screw cap and screw the cap on.
• Place the newly filled cartridge into the  canister and make sure the arrow on the side of the cartridge points up.
