Quantum AGI Water

Free home water test · report in 2-3 days

Hard water stops at your main line.

We test your water at home and send a written report. Then we install a softener sized to your home and your hardness, built on a blue Pentair vessel and serviced by our own team across Delhi NCR.

Hard water, up close

Drag to see what softening changes

Much of the borewell and tanker water in Delhi NCR is hard. Calcium and magnesium aren’t a health risk, but they come out of solution wherever water dries, heats up or meets soap. Seven real-world cases, with the chemistry behind each.

All seven in detail
After softening: Chrome stays bright and the basin wipes clean with a cloth.
With hard water: Chalky crust and rust-brown streaks on the chrome, the basin rim and the tile grout.

With hard water

Chalky crust and rust-brown streaks on the chrome, the basin rim and the tile grout.

After softening

Chrome stays bright and the basin wipes clean with a cloth.

What’s happening

Hard water carries dissolved calcium and magnesium bicarbonates. Every drop that dries on a surface leaves them behind as insoluble calcium carbonate, which is limescale. Borewell water that also carries iron adds brown staining as the iron oxidises in air.

Ca(HCO₃)₂ → CaCO₃↓ + H₂O + CO₂↑

What softening changes

The softener swaps calcium and magnesium for sodium, whose salts stay dissolved when water evaporates. Drops dry without a crust, so nothing bakes onto the chrome.

200 mg/LIS 10500 acceptable limit for total hardness (as CaCO₃)
  • Protects taps, tiles & sanitaryware
  • Prevents limescale build-up
  • Keeps fittings looking new

How a softener works

An exchange you can see.

Follow the water. Watch the ions change places. Scroll through a complete softening and regeneration cycle.

01 Feed

Hard water enters the resin bed.

Dissolved calcium and magnesium arrive as positively charged ions. In this downflow system, water travels down through the bed, then up the centre tube.

Ca²⁺ + Mg²⁺ in the incoming water

Service flow · down through the bed

02 Exchange

One hardness ion. Two sodium ions.

The resin’s fixed negative sites bind Ca²⁺ or Mg²⁺. Each divalent ion replaces two Na⁺ ions, which enter the water. The resin stays inside the vessel.

2 R–Na + Ca²⁺ ⇌ R₂–Ca + 2 Na⁺

Same exchange for Mg²⁺ · charge is conserved

03 Backwash

The bed lifts. The resin stays.

Before brining in this example, water flows down the centre tube and up through the bed. It loosens the beads and carries debris to the drain. Backwash alone does not restore exchange capacity.

Water ↑ through the resin · debris → drain

Regeneration · no softened-water delivery shown

04 Brine

Salt brine restores the sodium sites.

Concentrated sodium chloride solution is drawn from the salt tank. The high sodium concentration reverses the exchange: hardness ions leave the resin and flow to the drain.

R₂–Ca + 2 Na⁺ ⇌ 2 R–Na + Ca²⁺

Na⁺ recharges the sites · Cl⁻ stays in solution

05 Rinse

Rinse the bed before reuse.

Brine draw stops. Slow rinse, then fast rinse, move water down through the bed and up the centre tube to the drain, carrying out displaced hardness and excess brine.

Residual brine + displaced hardness → drain

The drain path stays open through rinsing

06 Ready

Refill. Return to softening.

The valve refills the salt tank for the next regeneration, then returns to service. Softened water goes back to the home after the regeneration sequence is complete.

Refill → service · hardness is reduced

Softening does not disinfect water or remove all dissolved salts

At the resin sitesSodium form
Two fixed negative resin sites exchange two sodium ions for one calcium ion. During regeneration the exchange reverses. Resin R–SO₃⁻ R–SO₃⁻ Ca²⁺ Na⁺ Na⁺

One Ca²⁺ balances two negative sites. Mg²⁺ behaves the same way.

Shown: a sodium-cycle softener with downflow service and downflow brining. Cycle order, direction and timing depend on the control valve. During regeneration, a single vessel cannot supply softened water; some installations supply untreated water through a bypass.

The science behind the animation

R represents a fixed, negatively charged resin site. The salt dissolves as Na⁺ and Cl⁻; chloride is not captured by the cation-exchange sites. Colour changes show site occupancy, not the resin’s actual colour.

Questions

What people ask us most

Can't find your answer? Ask us on WhatsApp or during your free visit.

Will soft water taste salty?

No. A softener swaps hardness minerals for a small amount of sodium, not salt, and most people notice no taste difference. For drinking water, keep an RO purifier after the softener.

Is a softener the same as an RO purifier?

No. A softener treats all the water in your home for bathing, washing and appliances. An RO purifier treats a small amount for drinking. Many homes need both.

What does the free water test include?

A technician visits, checks your water source and collects a sample. You get a written report in 2-3 days covering hardness and TDS, with our recommendation.

Does it need electricity?

Automatic systems use a small low-voltage adapter to run the Runxin control valve. Our manual systems are turned by hand at the valve and need no electricity at all.

Where is it installed?

Usually at the main inlet or near the overhead tank so every tap gets soft water. We check the space and plumbing during your free visit.

How much salt does it use?

It depends on your hardness and how much water you use. Each model lists its salt per regeneration, and after your water test we tell you roughly how often you will need to top up.

What does AMC cover?

All standard service activities, including scheduled visits, valve and programme checks, resin and brine-tank cleaning, and a hardness check at every visit. Ask us for the full checklist and yearly price.

Which brands do you use?

Pentair structural FRP vessels, Runxin multiport valves supplied by ORG Engitech, and INDION ion-exchange resin from Ion Exchange (India). For drinking water, RO parts, pressure pumps and anti-scale we supply and service ORG products. Our own range also includes the vessels, brine tanks and softener salt.

What do 2, 4 and 6 m³/hr mean?

The service flow the system is rated for: 2,000, 4,000 or 6,000 litres an hour. Most homes are well served at 2 m³/hr; hotels, hostels and commercial sites need more. Your water test and site visit settle it.
