    This document compares water softeners and antiscalant injection for treating hard water. Water softeners reduce water hardness by exchanging sodium ions for calcium and magnesium, but require salt, produce heavy bags of salt waste, and have high operating costs. Antiscalant injection uses chemicals to control scale up to 100 times saturation and works at higher hardness levels, requiring no salt but accurate dilution and injection rates are critical. AXEON S-100 is an effective antiscalant for high mineral feedwaters.

    Water Softener VS. Antiscalant Injection

    WATER  SOFTENERANTISCALANT  INJECTION

    Systems.html) Feed­and­Control­Systems.html)
    WHAT IT DOES: WHAT IT DOES:
    Softens Water by Exchanging Sodium Ions for Calcium and Control of Scale at Up to 100 times Saturation Values or
    Magnesium “Water Hardness” Higher.

    PROS: PROS:
    • Reduces Water Hardness to Below 1 Grain Per Gallon (GPG) • No Salt Required
    • Dilution of Chemicals Not Required • Extended Membrane Life
    • Works with Up To 150 Grains of Hardness “Possibly
      Higher”
    • Lower Operating Costs than Water Softeners
    CONS:
    • Large Volumes of Water Required for Regeneration CONS:
    • Lugging of Heavy Bags of Salt • Accurate Dilution is Critical
    • High Operating Costs • Accurate Injection Rate is Critical

    AXEON S-100 Antiscalant (http://www.axeonwater.com/AXEON-S-100-Antiscalant.html) is a highly effective antiscalant,


    specially formulated for feedwaters with the highest levels of metal oxides, silica, and scale-forming minerals.
