[edit] Ionex

I thought ionex is a general name. I saw it used routinely to refer to ion exchange and those yellow granules used for that. For now I made a disambig page for ionex, with a link. What are the opinions about this? --Shaddack 16:23, 21 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] water softening

Under water softening it was claimed that for recharging you need a solution without magnesium or calcium. Well you don't need that. Dishwasher wouldn't work, because where would you get that solution from? If your original water doesn't contain magnesium or calcium why use ion exchange resins in the first place? If they contain it then you need a trick and the trick is that the ion exchange resins can be recharged with the help of sodium in the present of magnesium and calcium.
