How Water Softeners Work
Hard water contains dissolved calcium, magnesium, iron, copper, and zinc. Water softeners reduce contaminants by softening the water through an ion exchange process. While the water flows through the mineral tank, dissolved minerals will attach to the resin. Contaminants will saturate the resin over time, and the device will have to be regenerated using a brine solution with sodium or potassium.
Product Features
We offer three tiers of water softeners, with each system being customizable and great for pairing with other water treatment products. If you would like an expert opinion on the best water softener system to address your needs, don’t hesitate to get in touch with us!
The strong acid cation (SAC) resin is a high-quality, FDA-certified, and commercial-grade Functional Matrix resin. Physically hard and moderately chlorine-resistant, it has a very high whole bead count and no color throw. This media combines high-operating capacity with excellent chemical and physical stability, resulting in a long-lasting and dependable operation.
This hybrid media includes all the attributes of the 500-1 softening media and leverage all functions of the 500-2 conditioning media when working with ProGuard or ProGuard Plus. In addition, an NSF-approved clarifying media provides clear water, while a food-grade gravel underbedding ensures uniform flow, minimal pressure drop, and exceptional performance.
This exchange media contains the same qualities as the AquaPro 500-1 and 500-2 Hybrids. However, it has a higher resistance to chlorine oxidation, fouling, and attrition. Meanwhile, the ChlorZorb and catalytic activator eliminate contaminants such as chlorine, chloramine, pesticides, herbicides, and disinfection byproducts.
Like the other two filtration media, it is also designed to work with ProGuard and ProGuard Plus performance enhancers. This allows it to function at peak efficiency, maintain a bacteriostatic environment, and provide you with the water quality you want.
Meet the Future of Soft Water Systems
The Twin Analyst system was created in response to the global water crisis, continued fluctuation of water hardness, and occurrences of brine discharge.
This elegant water system uses patented quad-sensor technology that enables upflow regeneration functionality and dual resin exhaustion sensors. It embodies redundancy, intelligent sensing, and efficient regeneration—some of the best features in salt-based softening that the industry currently offers.
After each regeneration, the system creates a new profile containing water conditions. The standby tank then refers to this information during its service cycle. Each system contains smart software that also performs a deep clean cycle. During this service cycle, the system temporarily ignores salt- and water-saving settings to perform a regeneration with a more concentrated brine solution to thoroughly clean the resin.
The system knows that the resin media loses functional capacity after extended economy regenerations. It then initiates a deep cleaning cycle after calculating the number of regular cleanings that have been done. It does this using a proprietary algorithm that takes into account the number of gallons processed, the age of the system, and information from onboard sensors on the status of the resin media.
With this technology, twin sensor systems are sure to become the new standard for water softening and treatment. Contact us now to learn if twin sensor systems are for you!
