need to know about water softener

[kunalamin]

I would like to know about water softener.is there any particular for car wash? from where most of the car wash owners buy the salt?

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 demand you want to meet?
• What is your water hardness (either in ppm, mg/L, or gpg).
• Is this municipal water or water from a private well?
• Can you estimate the volume (gallons) of water used on an average day?
• Is your softener feeding an RO system?
• Is there a carbon tank before or after the softener?
• At the location where you want to put the softener, is there access to a drain? Access to 120vac power?
• Do you have limitations on available floorspace?

We are not a fan of the most widely available softener valves (Fleck), so what we'd quote for you would be a Clack brand valve.

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

how often we need to put salt? or is there any softener available without salt? I don't think so but still asking

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.
