Whole House Water Softener System
Hard water is water that has high mineral content like magnesium and calcium. Staining on your sinks, tubs, showers and clothing are major indicators for water hardness. Hard water causes a higher risk of lime scale deposits in household water systems and due to this lime scale build-up, pipes are blocked and the efficiency of hot boilers and tanks is reduced thus, increasing the cost of domestic water heating by about 15 to 20%. Household appliances such as laundry machines, solar heating systems, air conditioning units and many other water-based applications are also affected by lime scale build-ups.
With the Water Softener with Automatic Backwash by CRYSTAL QUEST, your family will have healthier skin and hair. Reduced hard water build-up also results to cleaner dishes, easier to clean tubs, showers and sinks; softer, cleaner and longer lasting clothes. The “Automatic Backwash” feature regenerates the water softeners regularly, renewing their ability to remove hardness from water. This unit has a time-initiated regeneration via an electronic controller, Fleck control valve, that can be set up when softening capacity is predicted to run out. Based on your hardness and water usage, this can be every 3-5 days or even every 1-2 weeks. Regeneration takes 30 minutes and will run water backwards through the system down the drain.
This system can also be used in commercial applications, such as Car Washes, Manufacturing and Window Cleaning where water is hard and there’s a need to eliminate white spots and streaks.
Other less common contaminants can also be reduced by this system, such as Radium, Barum, Lead and Strontium ions.
