Commercial Water Softeners System Ion Exchange
Introduction:
The Softening Process
As hard water passes through the resin (the softening media), it captures dissolved mineral ions such as calcium, magnesium, iron, and manganese ions. Shortly before the resin loses its effect, the solution in the brine tank regenerates it.
Non-Corroding Tanks
The tanks are made from a durable fiberglass that is impervious to cracking under stress, corrosion, and electrolysis. Additionally, they are made in one piece without any seams or joints.
The Brine System
The polyethylene brine tank can be placed up to 15 feet away from the softener and holds enough salt for 5+ regenerations before it needs to be refilled. The automatic refill control is backed up by a safety float shut-off valve so that it doesn't overflow. The correct amount of brine is measured automatically with the brine valve.
Regeneration Options
Program Timer: A twelve-day switch allows you to select the time of day and the frequency when it will regenerate. The switch automatically starts, goes through the regeneration cycle, and places the unit back online for service.
TCFT: Indicates program timer regeneration.
Automatic Reset Water Meter: A set amount of gallons is selected and once that is used up, the timer starts regeneration and automatically resets.
TCFM: Indicates meter initiated regeneration.
TCFM(R): Indicates meter initiated regeneration. (3/4")
TCFM-E: Indicates electronic meter initiated regeneration.
Benefits of Water Softener:
Provides a continuous supply of soft water for your entire house
Reduces soap residue on hair and skin
Leaves clothes brighter and soft to the touch
Makes household cleaning easier and less expensive
Prevents hard water spots on glassware, dishes and utensils
Reduces soap scum and scaling on faucets, sinks and tubs
Reduces water heating bills
Increases the lifespan of water-using appliances
What do water softeners do?
Industrial water softeners are specific ion exchangers that are designed to remove ions which are positively charged.
Softeners mainly remove calcium (Ca2+) and magnesium (Mg2+) ions. Calcium and magnesium are often referred to as "hardness minerals". Softeners are sometimes even applied to remove iron.
The softening devices are able to remove up to five milligrams per liter (5 mg/L) of dissolved iron and can operate automatic, semi-automatic, or manual. Each type is rated on the amount of hardness it can remove before regeneration is necessary. Commercial water softeners collect hardness minerals within its conditioning tank and from time to time flushes them away to drain.
When an ion exchanger is applied for water softening, it will replace the calcium and magnesium ions in the water with other ions, for instance sodium or potassium. The exchanger ions are added to the ion exchanger reservoir as sodium and potassium salts (NaCl and KCl).
Typical Industrial Water Softener Applications
Dairies, schools, factories, hospitals, laundries, car washes, nursing homes, boiler feed
water, food industry plants, municipal water works, apartments and condominiums, motels,
hotels, resorts, manufacturing facilities, institutional facilities, office complexes,
cooling towers, farmseach could benefit from the installation of Engineering
water softener. The system quickly begins paying for itself through reduced energy
consumption, extended water appliance life, and lower plumbing repairs. Water heaters and boilers will last longer; costly special chemicals for boilers and steam handling equipment can be greatly reduced; the service life of linens, clothing, fixtures and appliances will be noticeably extended; and process water will be more consistent and efficient.
How long does a water softener last?
A good water softener system will last many years. Water softeners that were supplied in the 1980's may still work, and many need little maintenance, besides filling them with salt occasionally.
How often should one add salt to a softener?
Salt is usually added to the reservoir during regeneration of the softener. The more often a softener is regenerated, the more often salt needs to be added. Usually water softeners are checked twice a month and to guarantee a satisfactory production of soft water, the salt level should be kept at least half-full at all times.
