Can an Ion exchange resin remove the Ca and Mg ions from water? Therefore solving the problem of HArd water?
If not, what other processes are implemented to fix hard water problems?

If you use the right ion exchange resin then the Ca and Mg ions will be removed from the water resolving the problem of hard water.
Another method to resolve the problem will be to distill the water

Yes, ion exchange resins are the best, and only practicable, solution. But hard water is OK for drinking. It's a useful source of calcium.

Hi. Most ion exchange resins result in neutral water (non-conducting). So I would say yes.
