Countertop Water Softener – Soft Water Cares for Your Skin Every Day

The countertop water softener (also known as countertop facial water softener) is a compact, space-saving device with a streamlined design that connects directly to a faucet and operates without the need for electricity. Designed specifically for daily grooming and skincare, this small water softener sits conveniently on your countertop.

It removes hard water components such as calcium and magnesium ions from tap water, preventing scale buildup and making the water gentler. This helps reduce skin dryness and irritation, making it especially suitable for individuals with sensitive skin.

Structure
  1. Regeneration salt cup: Replenishes sodium ions lost during the softening process, restoring the ion exchange resin's softening capacity.
  2. Switch: Features three operating modes: raw water, softening, and regeneration.
  3. Filter: Contains a resin cartridge for water softening.
  4. Accessories. It is used for countertop water softener installation.

Working Principle

Install the mode switch on the faucet, and select the raw water, soft water, or regeneration mode by rotating the handle:

  • In the raw water mode, turn on the faucet to directly output raw water.
  • In the soft water mode, the raw water undergoes ion exchange with the resin, where the sodium ions in the active groups of the resin exchange with the calcium and magnesium ions in the water, reducing the concentration of calcium and magnesium ions in the water, thereby softening the water quality.
  • In the regeneration mode, the salt suction head draws salt from the salt cup and injects it into the resin filter cartridge, replenishing the sodium ions lost during the softening process, allowing the ion exchange resin to restore its softening capacity.
