Yes - there is a lot of Sch 80 in this facility.

Yeow. Home Depot and Lowes have salt for $6/bag by me. Tractor Supply is a bit cheaper.

That's just the way the manufacturer (Structural/Pentair in this case) makes many of their largest tanks. In some cases it facilitates plumbing connected to the bottom of the tank.

This recent industrial customer had very hard water, high flows, a high volume demand, and needed soft water without interruption. A twin tank alternating softener with 2" Clack valves was the solution. With 30 cuft of resin, each tank has a capacity of 900,000 grains at 15-lbs salting. The...

The primary advantage of a twin alternating configuration is that you get uninterrupted soft water 24/7/365. With a single tank soft water will be unavailable for about 1.5 hrs each time it regenerates. This can work well in situations where there is typically downtime in the middle of the...

Happy to give you a quote for your softener and any other water treatment supplies (e.g., RO membranes). Russ

In terms of water delivered to your RO system - it certainly should be soft. If you look up the feedwater specs on your RO system you should see something along the lines of <1 gpg hardness. You'll get much better life from your RO membranes with soft water, and you can reduce your concentrate...

You'll add salt probably once a day to once a week, depending upon your water hardness and the amount of water you run through it, and the size of the softener. All softeners use salt.

Often you can find the best price on salt at stores like Tractor Supply, or Farm and Fleet.

We size water softeners for car washes based upon a number of factors specific to your site. If you contact us to buy a softener we'd begin the conversation with these sorts of questions: What is the diameter of the pipe that will be connected to the softener? Do you have a specific gpm...

sure do

That is your meter: Fleck Meter Assembly, Brass. A cable connects this meter to the softener valve. The inner part of the cable spins as the wheel in the meter spins. The meter can go bad and the cable can go bad as well. This is part of what Fleck calls their mechanical/electrical valve...

Had one open nearby and have had zero luck trying to talk to someone to offer our goods/services re water treatment/spot free

Anyone here with Whitewater Express?

That link recommends Fleck softener valves. Ugh! No thank you.

Bucket and stopwatch, or check the spec sheet. Hopefully your RO system has a concentrate and permeate flow gauge - add them together and subtract the recycle gpm

The devil is in the details here. Recommend you look carefully at your demand and put pencil to paper. When you do have a higher demand, if some of the demand is for equipment where softened water is critical to avoid damage (e.g., RO system, boiler), then you should size the equipment for...

With a carbon filter before the softener, 8% cross linked resin would be my choice.

"Generic" resin would not be my choice. There are all sorts of imported resin out there - it's a bit of a crap shoot. Are you delivering chlorinated water to the softener?

Let's back up and make sure this softener is correctly sized for your application. How much flow (gpm) do you want this softener to treat? A 1" valve is pretty small for a carwash application. What is it you are feeding the softened water to? Russ
