The automatic regenerable cold/hot water softener includes a water
softening tank having ion exchange resin and a regenerating tank filled
with regenerating substance of the ion exchange resin. The water softener
controls the mode for receiving raw water and discharging soft water
using one switching valve, a direct water mode for discharging raw water
itself, a regeneration mode for regenerating ion exchange resin, and a
intermittence mode for intermitting the inflow and outflow of the raw
water and the soft water. The precise regeneration time is judged
according to used amount of the soft water by a temperature sensor and a
flow meter for sensing temperature and flux of supply raw water. The
regeneration is automatically prosecuted by a control part having a
microprocessor. The cold/hot water softener serves a user's convenience
in that sudden change of temperature is prevented.
