Water softening valve and water softener

The utility model relates to the technical field of water treatment equipment, and provides a water softening valve and a water softener, the water softening valve comprises a valve casing and a bypass assembly, a raw water channel, a soft water channel, a raw water outlet and a soft water inlet are formed in the valve casing, a raw water inlet is formed at one end of the raw water channel, and the other end of the raw water channel is communicated with the raw water outlet; one end of the soft water channel forms a soft water outlet, the other end of the soft water channel is communicated with a soft water inlet, and the raw water outlet and the soft water inlet are communicated through a softening device; the bypass assembly is connected with the valve shell and comprises a bypass valve element and a bypass driving part, the bypass valve element is located between the raw water channel and the soft water channel, and the bypass driving part is used for driving the bypass valve element to move to connect or disconnect the raw water channel and the soft water channel. When the bypass valve element moves to communicate the raw water channel with the soft water channel, part of raw water in the raw water channel can directly enter the soft water channel to be directly mixed with soft water in the soft water channel, and therefore the hardness of the soft water is adjusted.
