What Does a Dealkalizer Do?

A dealkalizer works similar to a water softener, in that it utilizes ion exchange to remove unwanted ions from a water supply. However, rather than removing calcium and magnesium ions, dealkalization

dealkalization
The dealkalization of water refers to the removal of alkalinity ions from water. ... Chloride cycle dealkalizers operate similar to sodium cycle cation water softeners. Like water softeners, dealkalizers contain ion-exchange resins that are regenerated with a concentrated salt (brine) solution - NaCl.

removes carbonate ions, exchanging them for chloride ions.

Does a water softener remove alkalinity?

Disadvantages: While water softeners are good at removing hardness, they do not reduce the mineral content of the water; nor do they remove silica or alkalinity.

How do I get rid of alkalinity?

Chloride cycle anion ion-exchange dealkalizers remove alkalinity from water. Chloride cycle dealkalizers operate similar to sodium cycle cation water softeners. Like water softeners, dealkalizers contain ion-exchange resins that are regenerated with a concentrated salt (brine) solution - NaCl.
