What Does T/H Mean?

T/H means tonnes per hour. One tonne of water is about 1,000 litres (one cubic metre), so a 2 T/H softener treats about 2,000 litres an hour. The four-digit number, such as 1054 or 1665, is the size of the resin tank: the first two digits are the diameter and the last two the height, in inches. So a 1665 tank is 16 by 65 inches.

How to Size a Water Softener

Peak flow: the most water you use at once, for example a boiler feed plus kitchens. Choose a T/H rating at or above it.
Daily water use and hardness: a water test gives hardness. Hardness multiplied by daily volume tells you how much the resin must remove each day, which sets the resin volume and how often it regenerates.
Regeneration frequency: aim for a softener that regenerates every few days, not several times a day. Bigger tanks regenerate less often and use salt more efficiently.

Rule of thumb: homes and small guest houses usually fit the 1 to 2 T/H range, hotels, hospitals and laundries 3 to 8 T/H, and factories and large boiler plants 10 T/H and above. Confirm with a water test and your peak flow.

Regeneration, Salt and Resin

The softener regenerates its resin with brine (salt water) from the brine tank. Keep the brine tank topped up with softener salt.
Using more salt per regeneration gives little extra capacity past a point. Set the salt dose as recommended rather than over-salting.
Resin lasts many years in homes (often 10 years or more), but typically 3 to 5 years in commercial systems that run hard every day. Chlorine and iron in the water shorten resin life.

Softener or RO?

A softener stops scale but does not make water drinkable or remove fluoride or salt. For drinking water, you need RO or UF. Read RO vs UF vs Water Softener. In hard borehole water, a softener before an RO plant helps protect the membrane.

How Does a Water Softener Work?

Hard water contains calcium and magnesium. A softener passes the water through a tank of resin beads that hold sodium. As water flows through, the resin grabs the calcium and magnesium and releases sodium in their place (ion exchange). When the resin is full of hardness, the softener regenerates: it rinses the resin with strong salt water (brine) from the brine tank, washes the hardness to drain, and is ready again.

Does a Water Softener Reduce TDS?

No. A softener swaps hardness minerals for sodium, so the total dissolved solids stay about the same. It stops scale, but it does not remove salt or make salty water fresh. To lower TDS you need reverse osmosis. Many plants use a softener before the RO, because soft water protects the RO membrane from scaling.

Is Softened Water Safe to Drink?

Softened water is generally safe to use, but it contains a little extra sodium: the harder the raw water, the more sodium it picks up. People on a low-sodium diet, and anyone making baby formula, should drink RO-treated water instead. A common setup is softened water for the whole building and an RO unit for drinking water.

Which Salt Does a Water Softener Use?

Use clean, dry salt made for water softeners (coarse, pellet or tablet salt with few impurities). Dirty salt leaves sludge in the brine tank and blocks the injector. Keep the brine tank topped up so the salt level stays above the water, and never let it run empty, or the softener cannot regenerate.

Water Softener Problems and Fixes

Problem	Likely cause	What to do
Hard water again	Brine tank out of salt, salt bridge (a hard crust), or wrong regeneration setting	Top up salt, break any crust, check the hardness and capacity settings
Not using salt	Salt bridge, blocked injector or brine line	Break the crust, clean the injector and brine line
Brine tank full of water or overflowing	Blocked injector or drain line, faulty brine valve	Clean the injector, check the drain line is clear
Keeps running or regenerating	Timer or meter settings wrong, faulty control valve	Reset the settings; call a technician if it continues
Low water pressure	Softener too small for the flow, resin fouled with iron or mud	Check the size in this guide; add pre-filtration

Frequently Asked Questions

How much is a water softener in Kenya?

H-TECH softeners on Buy More Mall cost from KSh 60,400 (1 T/H) to KSh 1,458,000 (25 T/H).

What size water softener do I need?

Match the T/H rating to your peak water flow, and the resin size to your daily water use and hardness. A water test is essential.

How often should a softener regenerate?

Typically every few days for a well-sized system. Very frequent regeneration usually means the softener is too small.

Prices shown are regular prices on Buy More Mall. Many products are currently on offer, so open the product page to see today's price.

How does a water softener work?

Resin beads swap the calcium and magnesium in hard water for sodium. When the resin is full, the softener regenerates by rinsing it with brine.

Does a water softener reduce TDS?

No. It swaps hardness for sodium, so TDS stays about the same. Reverse osmosis lowers TDS.

Can you drink water after a water softener?

Generally yes, but it has a little extra sodium. Use RO water for low-sodium diets and baby formula.

Why is my water softener not using salt?

Usually a salt bridge (hard crust) in the brine tank or a blocked injector or brine line.

Is a water softener worth it in Kenya?

Where water is hard, yes: it stops scale in pipes, geysers, boilers, showers and RO membranes, and saves soap.

How much should a water softener cost?

H-TECH water softeners on Buy More Mall start from KSh 60,400 for 1 T/H. The price grows with the flow rate you need.
