Water Refiner System: The Biggest Pro and Con

In simple terms, a water refiner system = water softener + filter.

Con

While water refiners generally require less maintenance compared to basic water softeners, periodic upkeep is still necessary.

Pro

They efficiently treat hard water and remove impurities like sediment, chlorine, and contaminants, ensuring cleaner and safer water for consumption and daily use.

2 Types of Water Refiner Systems

1. Single Tank System

A cabinet system or single tank needs a lot less space because the brine tank of the softener is in the salt container.

2. Twin-tank System

A double tank system comes with a separate brine tank. This means that it offers more options for the hard water capacity of the refiner system.

What Is A Water Refiner System?

In simple terms, a water refiner system = water softener + filter.

This means you don’t just get soft water (which is not good for drinking) but also water that is filtered so it’s safe to drink.

A water refiner system is a system that works beyond a water softener.

Water softeners work by washing hard water that enters a house through a tank of resin beads and salt water.

Here magnesium and calcium are exchanged for sodium.

The main task of a water softener is to remove minerals such as calcium and magnesium from the water and replace them with sodium ions. This prevents limescale from being deposited in your pipelines.

However, a water refinery system not only removes minerals that produce hard water, but also pollutants such as chlorine, iron and sediment. It also eliminates any unpleasant taste and smell in water.

How Does a Water Refiner System Work?

A water refiner system both softens and filters water.

This means you get the benefits of soft water but can also drink the water because all impurities are no longer present in the water.

A water refiner system uses ion exchange filters to remove other contaminants and toxins from the water.

This system works in the same way as a water softening system, but exchanges hydrogen ions for cations and hydroxyl ions of any kind with anions that are in the water.

In this way, besides magnesium and calcium, many more chemicals are removed from the water.

It is a purifying water system that provides you with water for all purposes.

This is a great solution for anyone that wants fresh, pure water that is not only mild but free of other contaminants.

There are two main different types of water refiner systems that you can consider.

This water filtration system has filters that filter 1 million gallons or can filter 10 years of water supply.

By way of exception, the Aquasana filter for the whole house contains everything that is required for a professional installation.

However, installing this system is a bit complicated at home. Therefore, you may need to hire a plumber if you are unfamiliar with the pipe installation process.

The Aquasana refiner water system can eliminate approximately 97% of the chlorine in the entire water supply of your home. Which is some of the highest levels available on the commercial market today.

This can improve the taste of your drinking water and prevent hair and skin from being exposed to excessive chlorine.
