Resin Beads In Water. Hard water travels over a bed of resin beads in the water softener’s resin tank, where the ion exchange process occurs. Resin is the ion exchange media used commonly in water softening applications.

Small, spherical resin beads are packed in a “bed” inside the tank of a water softener. The resin beads hold a negative charge that will attract any positively charged ions. Resin beads are tiny plastic polymers charged with sodium and potassium ions.

Ion exchange resins come in the form of small, porous beads and are designed to remove contaminants like calcium, magnesium, heavy metals, and other impurities. These small, spherical particles are essential. During regeneration, a saltwater rinse recharges the beads for reuse. The primary function of these resins is to either soften water or remove specific contaminants depending on the water’s intended use.
