What are general combinations of resins to achieve reduction in dissolved solids?



   What are general combinations of resins to achieve reduction in dissolved solids?
There are various possible combinations and arrangements of ion-exchange resins. Each resin or combination is effective for controlling a particular parameter more effectively. It is recommended to consult a water treatment equipment supplier for appropriate selection. The few resins are:
Resin
Function
Zeolite Softener
To remove hardness i.e. Ca, Mg
Weak Acid Cation (WAC)
To remove the weak acid cations, i.e. hardness, Ca++ or      Mg++ associated with alkalinity OH-, CO3--, and HCO3--
Strong Acid Cation (SAC)
To remove all the cations & anions including Ca++, Mg++, Na+, K+
Weak Basic Cation (WBC)
To remove salts of strong acids, SO4--, C l-, NO3-
Strong Base Anion (SBA)
To remove all anions including SiO2 and CO2
Mixed Bed (MB)
It is a mixture of SAC and SBA resins. The function is to polish and remove residual remaining ions in water.
