Base exchange softeners by AWE use cation resin to change calcium and magnesium ions in hard water into sodium ions, reducing scale formation. Made from GRP for domestic and small industrial use, and carbon steel for larger industrial applications. Automatic regeneration uses a multiport valve, with options for time clock or water meter control. Flow rates range up to 100m3/hr for packaged units and industrial models handle all flow rates in excess of 40m3/hr.
