Exchanges calcium and magnesium with sodium ions and therefore reduces water hardness.

Calcium and magnesium are often called “hardness minerals”. Large amount of these ions in water are responsible for a formation of the scale deposits, higher detergent consumption and stains on a glassware. In extreme situations large amount of calcium and magnesium can lead to glass etching.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003e\u003cbr style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003e Hard water leaves an invisible film on a skin, which blocks pores. This in turns causes chapping, itching and dryness. Softened water contains almost no calcium \u0026amp; magnesium.  It enables people to use lesser quantities of soap, shampoo, and skin care products. Moreover detergent consumption is reduced.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003e\u003cbr style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003e\u003cbr style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003e Available size: 2,5″ x 12″ Working temperature: 2°C – 45°C\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003e Longevity: 3 – 6 months (depending on feed water quality).\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003eApplications \/ Uses\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003e– pre RO systems\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003e – under sink\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003e – icemakers\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003e – water coolers\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003e – refrigerators\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003e – coffee makers\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003e – and other application\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003e\u003cbr style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003e Keep in mind when water is extremely hard, filter will be exhausted very quickly, therefore a conventional water softener should be used.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTechnical Specification\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003eMedia: FDA approved ion exchange resin\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003e Connections: 1\/4″ NPT\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003e Filter Life: 3 – 6 months\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003e Dimensions: 2,5″ x 12″ (74 mm x 288 mm)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003e Flow Rate: 2.8 l\/min (0.75 gpm)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003e Operating Pressure: 6 bar (90 psi)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003e Minimum Temperature: 2°C (35°F)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003e Maximum Temperature: 40°C (104°F)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003e Body \u0026amp; Cap: PET\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003e Excellent choice for lime scale removal and lime scale problems\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003e Made in the EU with High Quality materials\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Aquafilter","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":31035910488118,"sku":"AF-AISTRO-2","price":5.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0247\/9531\/6278\/products\/aquafilter-aistro-2-2-x-10-in-line-water-softening-and-iron-removal-cartridge-af-aistro-2-6326526.jpg?v=1757079876","url":"https:\/\/groaqua.store\/en-au\/products\/aquafilter-aistro-2","provider":"GroAqua","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
