| The
performance of a water softener is dependent
on two key components; a resin bed that cleans
the water and precision equipment that cleans
the resin. The three most significant elements
that differentiate one softener from another
is the volume of resin, resin type, and the control
valve.
The resin tank: contains
media called resin. The resin attracts and
collects minerals from hard water. Once
the resin is saturated with hardness minerals
it must be cleaned and regenerated. Once
regenerated, the resin is ready to remove
more minerals from the water. We use a Premium 10% crosslinked resin in the ProMate 6 Water Softener. This resin is stronger and can handle more regenerations without fracturing like lesser resins. It also has a higher tollerence to chlorine found in municipal water supplies.
The control valve:
routes the water flow through the system
and controls the operating cycle. Hard water
passes through the resin bed to become soft.
During regeneration, water flow is reversed
to clean the resin bed. Brine is pulled
in and then rinsed out to regenerate the
resin, preparing it to soften more water. Our ProMate 6 valve has features other water softeners don't, like Super Scrub and Brine Recycling. Call today and find out why our control valve is the best suited for our desert envronment.
The brine tank:
stores salt and water to make brine which
is used for regenerating the resin. Resin
can be regenerated with sodium from salt
or potassium from potassium chloride. |
