Do you offer boiler water softening services?

What methods is everyone using to soften water for their boilers? Which is more costly in terms of initial investment, ion exchange or electrodialysis, and what are the operating costs like?
Ion exchange requires lower investment and operational costs, but it produces water of better quality than electrodialysis
Ion exchange depends on the setup of the process: whether it is for general water softening or for producing deionized water. Since the processes are different, the operating costs will naturally vary; it depends on the requirements regarding water quality to determine the appropriate process.
The methods used for softening water in boilers include ion exchange, electrodialysis, and reverse osmosis. These days, the last method is generally used, as it offers a higher water utilization rate.
