Water softeners replace calcium ions with liquid sodium
HERE’S THE INTERESTING PART
Hard water leaves disgusting mineral crusts everywhere, so basements employ an aggressive chemical hostage exchange. Water softeners force the hard water through a tank filled with resin beads coated in sodium ions. The beads violently rip the calcium and magnesium out of the water, replacing them with salt, completely altering the chemistry of your shower water.
