Disadvantages of Zeolites Process
1. The outgoing water (treated water) contains more sodium salts.
2. The method noly replaces Ca2+ nad Mg2+ ions by Na+ ions.
3. Zeolite Process leaves all the acidic ions (like HCO3- nad CO32- as such in the softened water)
4. High turbidity water cannot be softened efficiently by Zeolite process
