Abstract
A thermally regenerable ion exchange material is employed in a disposable cartridge preferably contained within an appliance such as a clothes washer or dishwasher. A hot water source is employed to regenerate the ion exchange material or to be mixed with cold water passed through the treatment cartridge. Additionally, in those situations requiring a high degree of deionization, hot water is used in conjunction with a heat exchanger to heat processed water rather than being mixed with it so as to produce fully de-ionized hot water.
