Definitioner

Salt: the common name for the specific chemical sodium chloride, used in regeneration of ion exchange water softeners.
Regeneration: in general, includes the backwash, brine, and fresh water rinse steps, necessary to prepare a water softener exchange bed for service after exhaustion. Specifically, the term may be applied to the 'brine' step in which the sodium chloride solution is passed through the exchanger bed. The term may also be used for similar operations relating to the demineralizers and certain filters.
