Water Softeners
A traditional salt-based water softener system is comprised of a mineral tank and a brine tank. It is typically installed in a plumbing system at the point that water enters a home. This can also be referred to as “Point of Entry” (potential link). Using a process called ‘ion exchange’, the softener trades the hard water minerals for sodium.
The mineral tank is filled with small polystyrene beads, also known as resin. The beads carry a negative ionic charge. The primary minerals in hard water, calcium and magnesium, both carry positive charges. These minerals cling to the negatively charged beads as the hard water passes through the mineral tank.
The brine tank uses common salt (sodium) to create a brine solution. Sodium ions also have positive charges, but not as strong a charge as either calcium or magnesium.
When the brine solution is flushed through the system tank it comes into contact with the polystyrene beads, now saturated with calcium and magnesium. Once the beads are saturated, the unit enters a 3-phase regenerating cycle. First, a “backwash” phase reverses water flow to flush dirt out of the tank. Second, a “recharge” phase carries the concentrated sodium-rich salt solution from the brine tank through the mineral tank. The sodium collects on the beads, replacing the calcium and magnesium, which are flushed down the drain. Lastly, the mineral tank is flushed or “regenerated”, eliminating excess brine and the brine tank is refilled.
Most popular water softeners have an automatic regenerating system. The most basic type has an electric timer that flushes, recharges or “regenerates” the system on a regular schedule.
"United States Water Hardness Map"
Grains of hardness processed depends on how large your household is, as well as how hard your water is. Example: a family of 4 with 20 grains of hardness: Your family of 4 will use approx. 300 gallons of water per day (4 people x 75 gallons/person). Since the water has 20 grains of hardness, you'll need to treat 6,000 grains of hardness per day (300 X 20). If you give the softener its full dose of salt, 15 lbs. per cubic foot, you can go about 7-1/2 days before regenerating (45,000/6,000).
Grains of Hardness
What Does 48,000 Grains Mean?
When a water softener is referring to 'grains' it's talking about how many grains of hardness it can process before regenerating. Grains of hardness processed depends on how large your household is, as well as how hard your water actually is. Our Tier1 Water Softener can process up to 48,000 grains of hardness before it's regeneration cycle.
- Mineral Tank Size: 15" X 34"
- Cubic Feet of Resin in the Mineral Tank: 1.5
- How much is the Max. Hardness of the Water (in GPG)? During set-up, the customer can input there family size and water hardness, this will be used to determine regeneration cycle
- How much is the max. Clear Water Iron Removal (ppm)? An iron filter is recommended for iron levels above 3ppm
- Is it Demand Initiated or Timed? The WS-165-150 is demand initiated, the control valve features a water use probe (propeller)
- How long does the Regeneration take? Two hours, during which there will be an interruption to water service
- How much Salt does it hold? 130L square brine tank with grid and well
- Does it have an indicator to notify my about low salt and is it suitable for well water? No
Key Features
- Flow Rate (GPM): 11.2
- Operating Pressure (psi): 20 - 120
- Operating Temperature (°F): 40 - 120
- Fully adjustable cycle times
- Reliable, precise and easy to operate
- User-friendly LCD display shows pertinent information
- Clear-concise verbiage with no confusing codes or symbols to remember
- Manually index to cycle position for easier and fast installation and ease of service
- Features an included bypass valve and time saving quick connections for easy installation and Maintenance
- NOTE: During regeneration users will experience a disruption in water service. The disruption lasts approximately two hours. Most of our customers schedule the Regeneration Cycle for 2:00 AM, ensuring there are no conflicts. If a disruption in water service during the Regeneration Cycle is an issue, select the Tier1 Automatic Bypass Control Valve water softener through the Comparison Products section below!
