Working principle

Water containing minerals such as calcium (Ca) and magnesium (Mg) salts is called "hard water". When water evaporates, the originally insoluble calcium sulfate (CaSO4) precipitates. The originally dissolved calcium bicarbonate (Ca (HCO3) 2) and magnesium bicarbonate (Mg (HCO3) 2) decompose in boiling water, releasing carbon dioxide (CO2) and becoming insoluble calcium carbonate (CaCO3) and magnesium hydroxide (Mg (OH) 2), which also precipitate and sometimes form MgCO3. This forms scale. When the raw water passes through the water softener, the calcium and magnesium ions in the water are replaced by the sodium ions in the resin, reducing the hardness of the water and meeting the usage standards.
A fully automatic water softener is a device that automatically controls every step of its operation and regeneration, and uses time, flow, or other sensors to initiate regeneration. The basic components of a fully automatic water softener include an automatic control multi way valve, resin tank body, resin, salt dissolving tank, and piping system. Automatic control multi way valves generally use American FLECK, Runxin and other multi way valves and controllers; The resin tank adopts fiberglass (FRP) tank body, stainless steel tank body, and carbon steel lined resin tank: the resin uses high-quality 001-7 strong acid sodium ion exchange resin; The salt dissolving tank is made of PE material.

Product Features

High degree of automation: The equipment adopts a fully automatic control multi way valve system, which can achieve automation of operation regeneration, including backwashing, salt suction, slow washing, fast flushing, salt tank water injection, etc. during regeneration.

High efficiency, low energy consumption, and low operating costs: Due to the overall reasonable design of the equipment, the regeneration effect is good, and the effective exchange capacity of the resin is fully utilized. The regeneration salt consumption is low (120-180 grams of salt per liter of resin), the water consumption is low (less than 2% of the water production), and the power consumption is extremely low (generally less than 10W)
Labor saving: No need for dedicated personnel to operate, simple and easy to operate.

Corrosion resistance and pollution resistance: The valve body is made of lead-free brass or engineering plastic, non-toxic, odorless, and harmless.

Flexible design selection and wide applicability: can be used in industries such as boilers, heat exchangers, central air conditioning, laundry, shower equipment, and food, pharmaceutical, and electronics.
Compact structure and small footprint.

Selection Guide

Design flow rate and periodic water production volume
The design flow rate refers to the peak flow rate of users continuously using softened water.
Raw water hardness: When the raw water hardness is ≤ 6mmoL/L, it can be selected according to the upper limit (larger value) in the selection table; When the hardness of the raw water is ≤ 8mmoL/L, the average value in the selection table can be selected; When the hardness of the raw water is between 8-12 mmol/L, it can be selected according to the lower limit (smaller value) in the selection table; When the hardness of the raw water is ≥ 12mmoL/L, it is recommended to use multi-stage softening treatment.
The resin tank body in this selection manual is made of fiberglass material. If you need to use carbon steel lined plastic or stainless steel lined plastic material, please contact us.



INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS

The foundation should be level, and a sewer should be installed near the equipment installation site.
The inlet pipeline should be equipped with a Y-shaped filter or other filtering equipment and a pressure gauge should be installed.
If the inlet pressure is lower than 0.2Mpa, a pipeline pump needs to be installed.
When selecting a single tank water softener, the water tank should meet the replenishment capacity of the water system for 2.5 hours.
