It also provides a slippery feel to the skin when you wash. Components Of A Water Softener A water softener is made up of three major components –a resin or mineral tank, a control valve, and a salt-water tank. The mineral tank is the area where water softening takes place and incoming water passes through plastic-like beads also known as resin and made of polystyrene.

The attraction ensures calcium and magnesium adheres to the plastic beads as water flows through the tank. As t...
