Water Softener - HYDRO-SOFT® 

 

Hard water is formed by calcium and magnesium minerals dissolving in rainwater as it passes down through layers of limestone. The more calcium and magnesium minerals absorbed, the harder the water becomes.

When hard water is used in commercial or industrial applications, problems will be encountered with scale and scum both with costly consequences. Scale which forms on heating elements and in pipes reduces heat transfer efficiency leading to unnecessary and wasteful fuel usage; one eighth of an inch of scale on a heating element will result in 25% more energy being used. Scale buildup can also cause blockages in pipework and control valve.
 

Scum is formed as a result of the reaction between hardness salts and soaps resulting in higher soap usage and 'clogging' of woolen and other fibers. Scum will also cause staining and spotting on the surface of glass, metal and bottles and sanitary ware.

The Hydro-Soft®  series water softeners provide cost efficient, reliable and easy to use solution to the problem associated with hard water, and offer the following :

Features Applications

  • Manufactured from quality components, for backed by reliable regional service outlet.

  • Design simplicity to ensure reliable, trouble free operation.

  • Non-corrosive- pressure vessel, automatic valve and piping are non-metallic.

  • Proven high performance softening resin for long life and efficient operation.

  • Fully automatic regeneration, with provision for manual override.

  • Regeneration can be initiated by either a time clock or water meter or water hardness for unattended operation.

  • Boilers and Heating System 

  • Laundries

  • Food and Beverages

  • Cosmetic and Pharmaceuticals

  • Industrial Processes

  • Resorts and Caravan Parks

  • Hotels, Motels and Home Units

  • Hospitals and Laboratories
Options
  • Hardness initiated regeneration.
  • Duplex configuration available for continuous, uninterrupted soft water.
  • Water meter initiated regeneration with batch register and automatic reset.

How to select a Water Softener

To select the water softener unit bested to meet your requirement, you need to establish the following details:

  1. the maximum flow of softened water required per hour, taking into account peak demands.

  2. the total volume of softened water required per day ( 24 hours period ). 

  3. the total hardness load of raw water supply.

  4. whether regeneration must take place at a predetermined time of low/zero demand.

The table below are intended to assist you in selecting a softener unit based on our standard sizing. Please contact us if you need more data or assistance in sizing unit.
