The present invention provides a semi-automatic pressure type water softener including: an ionic resin tank (100) provided with an ionic resin; a regeneration vessel (200), into which a regenerant is introduced and which generates reclaimed water filled with the ionic resin; a drain valve (293) provided in the regeneration vessel (200) and configured to discharge residual water to the outside; a water inlet part (400) configured to selectively supply raw water to the ionic resin tank (100) and the regeneration vessel (200); and a timer/ceramic disk conversion valve (300) configured to select any one of a water softening mode, a raw water mode, and a regeneration mode to convert a passage between any two of the water inlet part (400), the ionic resin tank (100), and the regeneration tank (200), wherein the water softener is in the regeneration mode, any one of a first mode and a second mode is selected according to a preset method, wherein the first mode is operated for a preset period of time by the timer/ceramic disk conversion valve 300 such that the raw water is supplied to the regeneration vessel (200) to generate reclaimed water, and wherein in the second mode, the drain valve (293) is opened.

This disclosure includes regenerated inorganic fermented beverage stabilization and/or clarification media and a process for such regeneration. Inorganic stabilization and clarification media (for processing beer or the like) may include expanded perlite or other expanded natural glasses, diatomaceous earth, silica gel or other precipitated silicas and compositions that incorporate these materials. Such media may be regenerated individually, together in a mixture or together as part of a composite product. The regenerated media meet the requirements for physical and chemical properties for re-use and replacement of the majority of particulate inorganic filtration media, and inorganic stabilization media consumed in stabilization and clarification processes, and the related regeneration process provides for substantial benefits to brewers through a reduction of costs to purchase and transport stabilization and clarification media, to dispose of spent cake and/or membrane retentate, while providing for substantial reductions in the introduction of soluble impurities into the fermented beverage.
