Our Water Treatment Plants convert raw, bore-well or municipal water into safe, process- or potable-grade water using a combination of filtration, softening and disinfection stages.

A water softener reduces the dissolved calcium, magnesium, and to some degree manganese and ferrous iron ion concentration in hard water. Conventional water-softening devices uses an ion-exchange resin in which “hardness” ions trade places with sodium ions that are electrostatically bound to the anionic functional groups of the polymeric resin. A class of minerals called zeolites also exhibits ion-exchange properties; these minerals were widely used in earlier water softeners. Water softeners may be desirable when the source of water is a well, whether municipal or private.
