1)Resin Beads
If you have a domestic water softener at home then you might be familiar with the term “beads” associated with a Resin tank. These beads are present in the system in various layers and help in converting the hard water into soft water in a process called ion exchange.

Why it needs to be Changed-
Based on the facts the Resin beads normally last for 10-12 years but the abundance of contents of iron and chlorine in water deteriorates the efficiency of the resin beds resulting in bad water, Therefore it is advisable to check and replace them whenever desired.
Symptoms –
As soon as you notice the quality of the water is getting hard, it means the resin beads need replacement.
2) Brine Injector –
A water softener Injector is typically located on top of the softener control head that allows the hard water to pass into the Brine tank through it by regulating the flow of hard water.
Why it needs to be Changed-
The life span of the injector depends on the quality of water it is treating but sometimes it gets plugged with sediments caused by dirt salt. Therefore it is advisable to clean or replace the injector for smooth functioning. You can simply clean it by unscrewing the cover and cleaning it with soap and water.

3)Brine Valve
