What is the difference between a water softener-water conditioner-water filter?
Basically, our water softeners are a private water treatment system. Through the ion exchange process described earlier, as the dissolved calcium and magnesium carbonate in your water, which are mainly responsible for the hard water, passes through the mineral tank and comes in contact with the softening resin beads, the sodium ions on the resin beads are exchanged with the calcium ions in your water thereby reducing the amount of calcium ions. This reduces the "hardness ions" of the water exiting the softener making your water "soft".
Water filters differ from softeners in that filters are made to remove suspended solids, chlorine, pesticides and some iron bacteria. A filter will not remove dissolved solids, such as the minerals responsible for hard water.
We view the term 'conditioner' as more or less a slang term and very vague. You could say that a water softener produces a form of "conditioned" soft water as a water filter produces "conditioned" filtered water.
