Description

6-way valve module for water softener {6-WAY VLAVE MODULE USED IN SOFT WATER APPARATUS}

The present invention relates to a six-way valve for a water softener, and more particularly, the upper plate and the lower plate are in close contact with each other and configured to change the flow path according to the rotation angle of the upper plate. It is to provide a six-way valve module for water softener that can introduce or discharge regeneration water.

Currently, water softeners installed in homes or offices have a basic function of chemically converting hard water ions contained in tap water into softened water.

In general, tap water (hard water) contains a large amount of chlorine used in the purification process, and also contains various heavy metals (ions) such as iron, zinc, lead, and mercury, which are harmful to humans due to deteriorated pipes and water pollution. . Such tap water is not fatal to the human body, but when used as it is when washing the skin, the metal ions contained in the water and the fatty acids of the soap are combined to make metallic foreign substances. It causes skin diseases or accelerates aging of the skin.

Therefore, in order to prevent this, a water softener is developed to pass the tap water through the Na + type strong acid cation exchange resin to exchange the hardness components Ca2 + and Mg2 + with Na + in the resin to make soft water, which is mainly used for cleaning. .

The water softener has the principle of softening by replacing calcium ions and magnesium ions contained in hard water with sodium ions (Na +). For this purpose, a soft water container containing an ion exchange resin of a special high molecular compound containing sodium ions is an essential component. And a regeneration vessel containing ion exchange resin regenerators such as salt which, when dissolved in water, produces sodium ions.

That is, the water softener continuously generates tap water by contacting the ion exchange resin by continuously passing tap water into the soft water container in a state where a large number of fine ball-shaped ion exchange resins are stored in the soft water container. Since Na + is greatly reduced by continuous contact with tap water, salt water consisting of NaCl component is introduced into the soft water tank in order to preserve it.

Conventional water softeners generally include a soft water container including an ion resin for converting raw water supplied from the outside into soft water, and a salt-filled regeneration container for regenerating water for regenerating the ion resin when the ion resin is degraded. .
