Abstract
Improved compositions for the treatment and regeneration of ion exchange resin beds typically used in water softening systems are provided, which possess enhanced iron sequestering capabilities. The compositions include citric acid and a salt of citric acid, together with an iron sequestration-enhancing amount of an agent including a quantity of a source of gluconic acid or salt of gluconic acid. Preferred agents include gluconic acid, the alkali metal gluconates, glucono lactone and mixtures thereof. The compositions are advantageously formulated as dry products, which can be mixed with a preponderant amount of sodium chloride to yield regenerating media.
