  • removal of calcium and magnesium salts from natural water
veepehmendus preferred
Usage examples
  • Veepehmendusel kasutades katioonivahendeid, mida saab tavalise soolaga (NaCl) regenereerida, vahetatakse kareduskomponendid (kaltsiumi- ja magneesiumioonid) naatriumioonide vastu ja selle tõttu on vesi kareduskomponentidest vaba ega saa enam tekitada setteid ega katlakivi. Seda tüüpi veepehmendust kasutatakse tavaliselt soolase veega töötavates töödes.
softening
Usage examples
  • By softening by using cation exchangers that can be regenerated with common salt (NaCl), the hardness components (calcium and magnesium ions) are exchanged for sodium ions, and the water is thus free of hardness components and can no longer cause deposits and limescale. This softening is commonly used in salty operation.
