Source text - English How does a water softener work?
A water softener removes the hardness minerals from the water through a process called “ion exchange.” The water softener contains a special ion-exchange resin, which attracts dissolved hardness
ions (calcium and magnesium), much like a magnet attracts iron particles, and removes them from the water. The resin, in its “charged form,” contains sodium ions, which it releases to the water as a replacement or in “exchange” for the hardness ions.
Eventually, the resin can contain no more hardness ions, and must be “regenerated” by passing sodium chloride (salt) in the form of a dilute brine over the resin to displace the accumulated hardness ions.
During the “regeneration process,” the water softener is “off-line” and the cleansing brine solution and displaced hardness ions are disposed to the sewer. Once regeneration has been completed, the water
softener is returned to household service and is ready to again remove hardness ions from the water.
Translation - Spanish ¿Cómo funciona un suavizador de agua?
El suavizador de agua remueve los minerales duros del agua a través de un proceso llamado “intercambio iónico”. El suavizador de agua contiene una resina especial de intercambio iónico, la cual atrae los iones de los minerales duros disueltos (calcio y magnesio), -de forma muy parecida a la que un imán atrae partículas de hierro- y las extrae del agua. La resina, en su “forma cargada”, contiene iones de sodio, los cuales son descargados en el agua como reemplazo o en “intercambio” por los iones de dureza.
Eventualmente, la resina no puede contener más iones de dureza y debe “regenerarse” pasando cloruro de sodio (sal) en forma de salmuera diluida sobre la resina para desplazar los iones de dureza acumulados.
Durante el “proceso de regeneración”, el suavizador de agua se encuentra “fuera de línea” y la solución de salmuera limpiadora y los iones de dureza desplazados se eliminan por alcantarilla . Una vez que se ha completado la regeneración, el suavizador de agua regresa a su funcionamiento en el servicio doméstico y se encuentra listo para eliminar nuevamente los iones de dureza en el agua.
My expertise stems from my work in the field of advertising in Bogotá, Colombia primarily as a copywriter. Upon moving to the United States, I wanted to expand on that background and started working in translations. My passion is working with words. Translations shouldn’t be just moving a word from one language to another. It is essential to bring out the true meaning and how it is being said.
I believe I can offer your company the top-notch translation services many other businesses in the Twin Cities have been utilizing. Over the last twelve years, I have provided services for multinational companies.
As a small business, I have the flexibility to meet varied requests and deadlines from large projects to quick turnarounds. I have done commercials, informational videos, store ads and training manuals to name a few. I am also a member of the American Translators Association.
