Welcome To WaterGroup I first started in the water conditioning industry in 1968 with a focus on growing and supporting the sale of water conditioning products through the Plumbing Trade.
Water Testing Services Operations & Product Development Recommending a proper solution starts with a water analysis. labs in Regina, Cambridge, Carmel, IN & Golden Valley can test your water samples for: 1) Hardness 4) pH 2) Iron 5) Tannins 3) Manganese 6) TDS Toby Hughes has managed some of the industries largest water conditioning manufacturing operations as well as toured the facilities of most industry manufacturers across the globe.
Control Valves Fiberglass Tanks WaterGroup NSF/ANSI 44 Certified control valves meet or exceed the most vigorous industry performance and reliability standards. Familiar piston, seal and spacer design has been enhanced to improve performance and product life. WaterGroup NSF/ANSI 44 Certified filament wound tanks are not only strong and reliable but the finish is unparalleled in the industry. No need for a tank jacket (although we offer those too) with the neatly wound, high gloss finish.
Assembly, Testing & Distribution All water softeners and whole-house filters are engineered, assembled, tested and and distributed from our North American Regional facilities. All control valves are 100% wet tested and air tested before leaving the factory. Control valves are then set up to engineering specifications for the particular unit, air tested a second time and then assembled into the finished product.
The Hydrologic Cycle Characteristics of Various Water Sources Rain Water After the water picks up impurities in the atmosphere and percolates through the ground, it comes into contact with carbon dioxide and then forms carbonic acid. This dissolves some of the mineral content of the soil or rock it contacts, thus adding these minerals to the water.
CAUSE CORRECTIVE EQUIPMENT Hard Water Spotting on dishes and glassware; scale on inside of water heater, pipes and water-using appliances; soap curd and bathtub ring; clothes look gray and dingy. Calcium and magnesium in water, measuring 1.0 gpg or more. Water Softener (Max. Hardness 100 gpg) (Max. Clear Water Iron 1.
Water Analysis For correct sizing and application of water conditioning equipment, a water analysis is required. A basic water analysis includes tests for the following: • Hardness • Iron • Manganese • pH • TDS (Total Dissolved Solids) Water samples should be taken as near the source as possible and represent the average water condition. Clean containers must be used.
5. Standard Laboratory Tests Total Hardness ____________ Iron ____________ Manganese ____________ pH ____________ Total Dissolved Solids ____________ gpg mg/l mg/l mg/l 6. Other Tests Hydrogen Sulfide ____________ mg/l (test must be performed on-site) Tannins ____________ mg/l 7. Special Laboratory Tests Chlorides Sulfates Alkalinity ____________ mg/l ____________ mg/l ____________ mg/l If TDS is over 1000 ppm and hardness is less than 30% of the TDS, a total water analysis is required. 8.
Unique Features Designed with the Plumber in Mind Quick Connect Features for Ultimate Convenience The quick connect bypass comes with both 3/4” 90 degree elbows and 1” straight NPT adaptors. Optional quick connect adaptors include 3/4” straight SharkBite and 3/4” NPT adaptors.
Space Saving Improved Design Heavy Duty Packaging Eliminate 4” and unnecessary connections for neat, quick installations. Bypass with integrated meter avoids ‘meter jamming’ which is caused from weight of pipes creating torque on turbines causing them to bind and stop metering. WaterGroup uses only durable double-walled high impact cardboard with carrying straps to ensure you do not have to deal with the headache of receiving damaged products.

WaterGroup 185 Series Water Filters WaterGroup 465 BIF Chemical Free iron Filter Problem water is no problem with our full line of WaterGroup 185 Water Filters. Eliminate iron, sediment, bad tastes, stains and odors, as well as, color caused by organics. The high-efficiency control valve monitors water usage and flushes the system automatically, readying it for operation again.
95 BIF Series Two Tank Iron Filter System AIO Chem Free Iron Filter Remove Stubborn Iron, Manganese & Hydrogen Sulfide Without Chemicals Incoming raw water passes through a compressed pocket of air contained in the first tank. The air precipitates the iron into solid form and is removed when it passes through the filters media bed contained in the second tank. The media acts as a catalyst in the reaction between iron and oxygen that also causes the iron to precipitate into a solid.
Hydrogen Sulfide Reduction AIO Filter WG NRV (Non-Regenerating Valve) Whole House Carbon Filter Does Your Water Stink? Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) is a nuisance. It adds an objectionable sulfur-like taste and “rotten egg” odor to drinking water. Left untreated, it can also lead to corrosion in drainage pipes and concrete sewers.

In addition, Iron Guard Plus, is specially designed for application in low pH (acidic) water.
185 HTO Rid your water of hardness & bad tastes and odor caused by chlorine, chloramines or organic matter. 185 HEDP On very hard water supplies (> 75 gpg), a common problem with single tank water softeners is the occurrence of hardness leakage or ‘slippage’ as the extreme hardness will find a channel through the resin bed. The unique two tank system keeps the two media beds separate and allows for more carbon contact improving chlorine, chloramines and organic removal.
185 NeutraSoft Two Tank Water Conditioning System Neutralize Corrosiveness & Remove Hardness to Protect Fixtures, Pipes & Appliances Acidic waters on contact slowly dissolve the Calcite media contained in the first tank to raise the pH which reduces the potential leaching of copper, lead and other metals typically found in plumbing systems. As the Calcite neutralizes the water, it will increase the hardness of the water.

Water Conditioning Glossary Absorption - The process in which one substance is taken into the body of another substance, termed the absorbent. An example is the absorption of water into soil. Acid - A substance which releases hydrogen ions when dissolved in water. Most acids will dissolve the common metals and will react with a base to form a neutral salt and water.
Water Conditioning Glossary clogging pores and coating surfaces and thus inhibiting or retarding the proper operation of the bed. Freeboard - The vertical distance between a bed of filter media or ion exchange material and the overflow or collector for backwash water. The height above the bed of granular media available for bed expansion during backwashing. May be expressed either as a linear distance or a percentage of bed depth. Grain (gr) - A unit of weight equal to 1/7000 of a pound or 0.0648 gram.
Water Conditioning Glossary Notes Quartz - A high grade of glass made using quartz sand. ____________________________________________________________________________________________ Raw Water - Untreated water or any water before it reaches a specific water treatment device or process. Recovery - The amount of product water as compared with the total amount of feed water. This will give a measure of the efficiency of operation.
