Explanation:

Standard water softeners are cation exchange devices. ... As hard water passes through a softener, the calcium and magnesium trade places with sodium ions . Sodium ions are held loosely and are replaced easily by calcium and magnesium ions. During this process, “free” sodium ions are released into the water.
