Water softening resin sizing

Standard SAC (strong-acid cation) softener sizing. Translates daily water demand, raw water hardness and the chosen regeneration interval into litres of resin, daily salt usage, total regen water waste and an implied salt dose vs salt-efficiency profile — the four numbers a procurement officer needs to specify a softener and budget its lifetime running cost.

Sanity checks every output against the industry 8 – 40 BV/h service rate band, the 80 – 240 g NaCl / L resin salt-dose band, and reports the sodium added to product water against the SANS 241 dietary limit.

What the tool computes
  • ·Daily water demand + raw hardness (mg/L CaCO₃) → hardness load per regen cycle
  • ·Regen frequency presets — 12 / 24 / 36 / 48 / 72 h or custom
  • ·Working capacity by operating mode (high efficiency 32 g/L, standard 45 g/L, high capacity 60 g/L) or custom override
  • ·Resin volume in L and ft³ with editable safety factor (default 10 %)
  • ·Daily salt, brine and rinse-water consumption per the user's regen recipe
  • ·Implied salt dose (g NaCl / L resin) and salt efficiency (g CaCO₃ removed per g NaCl)
  • ·Service-rate sanity check against the 8 – 40 BV/h band
  • ·Sodium added to product water (mg/L Na) for SANS 241 compliance checks

Used by lodge engineers comparing softener bids, municipal water-quality engineers planning regen-effluent disposal, and procurement officers building 10-year salt and waste-water cost forecasts.
