🌊 Product Overview
The LiquaGen Cation Resin Filter Cartridge (2.5” x 10”) is a high-performance water softening cartridge designed to reduce hardness minerals such as calcium and magnesium. Hard water often leads to scale buildup on faucets, cloudy glassware, and shortened appliance life—this cartridge provides an easy and effective solution.
Engineered with strong acid cation exchange resin, the cartridge works by replacing hardness minerals with sodium (Na⁺) or hydrogen (H⁺) ions, delivering softer, cleaner water that protects your plumbing, fixtures, and appliances. Designed to fit standard 10” housings and most reverse osmosis (RO) systems, it is a versatile choice for residential use and light commercial setups.
