Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of water quality monitoring equipment, and in particular to a device for continuous monitoring of the hardness of water produced by an ion softener. Background Technology

[0002] A new hardness continuous monitoring device is added to the softener's water production pipeline. The upper limit of the water hardness is set in advance, and the working adsorption capacity of the softener resin is calculated by the change of hardness data. When the upper limit is reached, the regeneration program is triggered.

[0003] Existing continuous hardness monitoring devices for ion softeners have limitations. In static monitoring tanks, water stratification occurs, and if the sensor is fixed in one position, it can only monitor the hardness data of a single layer, failing to represent the overall average water quality and affecting subsequent continuous softening treatment. Furthermore, the sensors are typically installed using screws and knobs, requiring tools to be found, carried, and used for installation and removal when calibration, cleaning, or malfunction is needed. This lengthy maintenance process increases downtime for the monitoring system and affects the continuity of data acquisition. Utility Model Content
