Softening water at a municipal level is economical, sustainable and creates water equality.
It is hard to put a cost on hard water. Replacing appliances, plumbing maintenance, household cleaning products to remove the cloudy film that builds up on glass and ceramics, scaled up appliances and additional detergents required for laundry and washing could cost households hundreds or thousands of dollars annually.
Point of use water softeners offer an in-home solution — to those who can afford it.
In Canada, in-home water softeners range in price from $500 – $3,000, plus installation and the ongoing operating costs of softening salt replacements. However, this equipment renders the water unsafe for consumption due to high levels of sodium and the negative impacts on those with heart disease.
More expensive reverse osmosis (RO) systems will safely soften potable water but these methods create huge volumes of wastewater – typically four gallons of water is wasted by in-home RO systems for every gallon of drinking water produced.
Our technology offers a solution – one that can be economically implemented at a municipal level to supply reliable, quality drinking water to entire communities.
With freshwater recovery rates as high as 95%, achieved using incredibly low amounts of electrical energy, Ionic Solutions’ Capacitive Electrodialysis Reversal (C-EDR) technology can soften huge volumes of hard water, quickly and efficiently. Our systems integrate seamlessly with your existing water treatment processes, require minimal maintenance and can be monitored remotely by our team, if required.
Our proprietary technology also enables controlled mineral content of treated water, which means we can ensure your potable water is well balanced for the long-term health of your residents.
By providing water softening at a municipal level, towns and cities can create water equality, ensuring all of their residents enjoy the economic, health and life benefits of softer water, making your region a more attractive place to live and do business.
