Reduce Energy Costs
Softened water maintains the Energy Star
ratings on your water heater by prevent-
ing rock like scale build-up, thus saving
you signicant dollars in energy costs
and a much longer life for your water
heater.
Stop Discoloration and Staining
Softened water eliminates hard water stains
and signicantly reduces rust colored stains
from iron.
You’ll notice a big difference in every part of your home!
Protect Plumbing, Appliances & Fixtures
Softened water extends the life
and signi-
cantly reduces the repair costs as a result of
hard water. Your faucets and showerheads
will last much longer and your dishes and
clothes will be cleaner.
Hard water enters your water softener and passes
down through the ion exchange resin, which are
charged with sodium ions. The hard water ions
(calcium and magnesium) are attracted to the ion
exchange resin and an equal amount of sodium
ions are bumped off into the water supply.
When the water reaches the bottom of the tank,
it is softened and ready to be used in your home
and business.
When softening resin is saturated with hard
water minerals, it must be recharged. A strong
salt solution enters the bottom of the tank and
ushes the calcium and magnesium off the
resin and the resin is recharged. The brine
solution from your brine tank is the fuel to
recharge the resin beads.
Your ProMate 6.5 control valve controls this
entire process, including the frequency of
regeneration.
