Resins, Media & Chemicals
Cation Standard resin is a high capacity, conventional gel polystyrene strong acid cation exchange resin designed for use in residential or
industrial water softening equipment. Cation resin in sodium form removes hardness ions such as calcium and magnesium by replacing them
with sodium. When the resin bed is exhausted the hardness ions begin to pass through the bed. Functionality is returned by regeneration
with concentrated sodium or potassium chloride solution. The capacity obtained depends largely on the amount of salt used in the
regeneration. Typically 15 lbs. of chemical per ft³ is used to obtain maximum capacity of up to 33,000 grains per ft³.
