In previous post, I shared briefly about design of water softener. Water softener is used to eliminate ions that form scale, which are mainly calcium and magnesium. Key design calculation for water softener are already described in the post. It included resin volume requirements, vessel geometry, and required salt mass for regeneration. In this post, I want to share with you the water softener calculation using Plutocalc Water free software.
Plutocalc Water is a free calculator mainly for environmental professionals. This is what you can calculate using Plutocalc Water.
Luckily, you can also design water softener using Plutocalc Water. I used previous data to test.
Good news! I also made a spreadsheet on how to design water softener. Using this spreadsheet, you can trace and learn how to get the value because the formula is traceable. You can download the spreadsheet here.
This is the result screenshot using the same case.
I hope you find this simple post useful as always!
