Here's a look at my Water treatment System. I have soft, acidic ground water so I first have to neutralize the water, raising the pH. I then have to remove the added hardness (magnesium oxide and calcium carbonate). The water then goes through an ion exchange resin that removes Nitrates as well as the hardness, exchanging the ions for sodium ions. It finishes by going through a class A UV Sterilizer. I also have an RO system (reverse osmosis)
