の髪が柔軟となり美容の点からもその使用が好ましい。Soft water is water with extremely low levels of hardness components such as calcium ions and magnesium ions, and by using such soft water for cooking water, for example, the original taste, color, aroma, etc. of various foods and drinks will not be affected. (Also, when used as water for cooking rice, it has the effect of making the rice fluffy, or when boiling beans with soft water, the water becomes soft. Furthermore, since soft water has less hardness components, it does not produce metallic soap. Therefore, when used as face-washing water or bathing water, the skin becomes moisturized, and when used as hair-washing water, the hair becomes soft after washing, so its use is preferable from the viewpoint of beauty.

である。In other words, a conventional softening device basically consists of a container filled with sodium-type cation exchange resin, a regenerant dissolving tank, and various piping and valves. tap water, including
A water passing step in which the hardness components in the water and sodium ions of the cation exchange resin are ion-exchanged through well water etc. to obtain so-called soft water that does not contain any hardness components, and after the completion of the water passing step, the regenerant dissolving tank is A sodium chloride solution prepared in 1 is passed through a cation exchange resin to desorb the hardness component exchanged to the cation exchange resin, and a regeneration process is performed in which the ionic form is changed back to the sodium form.

置も出現している。The end point of the water flow process is the point at which hardness components begin to leak into the treated water (water flow through point), and the point at which a predetermined amount of water has been treated before reaching the flow through point (constant volume operation or constant time operation). In addition, a relatively small fully automatic softening device has also appeared in which, by setting the water flow time in advance, the water flow step and the regeneration step are automatically performed using a timer and a motor-driven cam valve.

うという問題点がある。As mentioned above, since conventional softening equipment replaces calcium ions, magnesium ions, etc. present in raw water with sodium ions, the amount of sodium ions in the treated water is definitely higher than the amount of sodium ions originally present in raw water. For example, if soft water obtained from a conventional softening device is used for food-related purposes such as drinking water, water for diluting alcoholic beverages, tea water, and various cooking water, the intake of sodium ions will increase rather than using raw water. There is a problem with this.

By communicating the pipes, flowing raw water through the raw water inflow pipe, and passing the raw water through a potassium-type cation exchange resin packed bed, hardness components such as calcium ions and magnesium ions in the raw water are ion-exchanged into potassium ions. The basic configuration is that the treated water is obtained from the treated water outflow pipe, and a regeneration equipment is attached to the potassium water production equipment with the basic configuration to remove calcium ions and magnesium ions from the raw water. A water passing step to obtain treated water in which hardness components such as ion exchangers are ion-exchanged with potassium ions, and a regeneration step in which the hardness components are desorbed from the cation exchange resin by passing a potassium salt solution through the cation exchange resin packed bed after the water passing step is completed. This method is characterized by performing the following steps alternately.

用いることができる。The treated water is similar to the soft water that is treated by conventional softening equipment, but the cations corresponding to the hardness components in the raw water have been replaced with potassium ions, making it different from the conventional softening equipment. Compared to the soft water treated by the softener, the sodium ion content is considerably lower, and the potassium ion content is increased. Therefore, the treated water of the apparatus of the present invention can be used for various purposes such as drinking water, diluted water for alcoholic beverages or water for coffee shops, food-related water such as various cooking water, beauty and barber water, and bathing water.

It is possible to obtain soft water with an increase in potassium ions without an increase in ions, and the treated water can be used as drinking water, diluted water for alcoholic beverages, water for making frozen desserts, water for cafes, water for cooking, boiling water, and various types of food. It does not increase sodium ions even when used in cooking water such as mixed water for kneading.In addition, by using this treated water in beauty/barber water, bathing water, etc., the skin will be more moisturized and the hair will be stronger. It has various effects such as becoming more flexible.
