Zeolite
Naturally
occurring or synthetic hydrated sodium alumina silicate with ion
exchange properties. Zeolites have been largely replaced with synthetic
organic cation ion exchange resins. Modified Zeolites can be selectively
charged with exchange minerals such as potassium and used to remove
undesirable elements such as iron, hydrogen, sulfide, and manganese.
Zero Soft
Water with a total hardness less than 1.0 grain per US Gallon (17.1 ppm), as calcium carbonate.
