The MAX Orange Line will open on schedule on Saturday, Sept. 12, 2015, and while construction is 95 percent complete, the federal funding process continues through 2019. Until the federal appropriations process is complete, the project will continue to incur costs, which is why the savings is given as a range.
The most common household form of water softeners are ion-exchanging resin devices. There are three main types of water softeners, categorized based on what salt they use: sodium, potassium, or hydrogen. These water softeners have a bed of resin that water is passed through. The resin is negatively-charged, and so binds to the positively charged metal ions in the hard water.
Another option to a water softener is a salt-free water conditioner â often incorrectly called softening â which is an alternative to sodium or potassium based water softening. Each address hard water, but water conditioning removes the calcium itself through various systems. Conditioners, however, do not soften water. â(Water softeners) are using much more energy and wasting more water because of the backflushing,â says Eric Kneller, owner of Living Water in Evansville, Indiana. âThose are the main benefits of a salt-free system, but youâre also going to see very little maintenance or treatment on the system.
