®
The Aries AF Series softener cartridge uses ResinTech
CGS, a cation exchange
softening grade resin for softening applications. ResinTech® CGS is a high
capacity gel type sulfonated polystyrene cation resin. The media is supplied
in the sodium form as moist, durable uniform spherical beads. It is intended
for use in water softening applications, where free chlorine is not present. Its
unique ability to exchange positively charged ions also enable it to remove
dissolved iron.
APPLICATIONS
RESIDENTIAL USE -
Spotting on dishes, films that coat the shower walls, laundry that is stiff and
rough, and clogged plumbing are all the result of hard water conditions. In
addition to affecting the actual washing process, insoluble soap deposits are
left on surfaces and a soap film will continue to build up in your bath and
shower. Water softeners provide a solution by removing the calcium and magnesium and providing a cleaner final product.
COMMERCIAL -
Hard water also produces a scale, which clogs pipes and obstructs heat conduction. Water softeners are commonly used for industrial, municipal, and
commercial applications such as: contact process water, make up water for
boiler & reactors, laundry facilities, protection of heat transfer elements and
spray nozzles, and pre-treatment for reverse osmosis.

ABOUT SOFTENING
As the water seeps through the ground, it is naturally purified , but dissolves minerals from contact with surrounding rock formations. Alkaline or
“hard” water contains high levels of dissolved salts and minerals such as calcium and magnesium. The dissolved salts react with soaps and detergents, preventing lathering and interfere with the cleaning process. Calcium and magnesium deposits can build up in pipes, reducing flow to taps and
appliances. Soft water, on the other hand, has very little of these minerals. Softening cartridges makes use of the ion exchange principle. As the water
travels through the bed of ion exchange material, the hardness minerals are removed, leaving the water soft and more satisfactory for household
and commercial use.
