Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of softeners, in particular to a recyclable water softener. Background Art

[0002] Medical softened water is a technology that removes hardness substances from water. Water hardness mainly refers to the content of calcium and magnesium ions in water. When water contains a large amount of calcium and magnesium ions, scale will form, which not only affects the service life of medical equipment but also has adverse effects on the health of patients. Medical softened water uses ion exchange resin to remove hardness substances, making the water purer and cleaner. Therefore, when using water to clean medical equipment, it is necessary to use a water softener to soften the medical water to meet the needs of cleaning medical equipment.

[0003] Most medical water softeners currently on the market are prone to causing the resin surface inside the softener to adsorb a large amount of calcium and magnesium ions when softening water for a long time. Therefore, brine is needed to exchange the resin surface so that it can be recycled. Most water softeners currently on the market require operators to manually add brine, which brings inconvenience to operators. At the same time, the existing brine is not evenly mixed, which makes the exchange reaction between it and the resin surface less effective. Utility Model Content
