Further, the faucet water softener is provided and is suitable for being connected with a faucet to soften raw water. The utility model further relates to a planar valve for a faucet water softener.
Background
With the increasing improvement of living standard and the increasing emphasis on health, the quality requirement of people on domestic water is higher and higher. However, in many countries, particularly in developing countries, many sources of tap water are relatively hard ground or surface waters that, after being purified and disinfected, are supplied to users for use. Tap water having a relatively high hardness tends to damage the protective layer of the skin, resulting in dry and astringent skin of the user and even skin allergy. In addition, tap water having a high hardness may also affect the cleansing effect of the skin cleansing article and the cosmetic effect of the cosmetics. Therefore, when the tap water having a high hardness is used to wash the face, the user experience is poor. While water having a lower hardness, such as softened water obtained by softening tap water, is milder to the skin of a user due to its low irritation, and is more suitable for use in cleansing the skin and making up and beautifying. For example, when cleaning the face.
However, the softening device, particularly a small softening device for makeup and/or cosmetology, has a limited content of softening resin, and loses its softening effect on raw water or water to be treated after a certain period of use, and thus can be used continuously after being subjected to a regeneration treatment. Some existing small-sized softening devices do not consider the regeneration problem at all, and users have to discard after losing the softening function after using for a period of time. The other part of the existing small softening device realizes the regeneration of the softening device by taking out the softening resin in the softening device and soaking the softening resin in salt solution. The method for realizing the regeneration of the softening device by taking out the softened resin in the softening device and soaking the softened resin in the salt solution needs to disassemble the softening device, and has higher difficulty. In addition, frequent disassembly of the softener also affects the sealing effectiveness and the service life of the softener.
