Description

The 10″ Water Softener with Manual Backwash Head is an effective water treatment solution designed to reduce hardness in water by removing calcium and magnesium ions. It is ideal for residential and light commercial applications where hard water can cause scale build-up, reduced appliance efficiency, increased soap consumption and deposits in plumbing and water-heating equipment.

The system uses water-softening ion-exchange resin to reduce hardness as water passes through the resin bed. Calcium and magnesium ions are exchanged for sodium ions, helping to produce softened water and reduce the formation of hard-water scale.

The system is supplied with a manual backwash and regeneration control head, providing a simple and reliable method of maintaining the softener without requiring an automatic control valve. The valve is manually operated to perform the required backwash and regeneration steps, allowing the resin bed to be cleaned and its softening capacity restored as required.

The manual configuration is particularly suitable for installations where simplicity, reliability and independence from automatic electrical controls are important. The operator can manually initiate the required cleaning and regeneration cycle according to water usage, water hardness and the condition of the resin bed.

The 10″ configuration offers homeowners and light commercial users a compact water-softening solution for installations where space is limited. Correct system sizing should be based on incoming water hardness, required flow rate, daily water consumption and application requirements.

Benefits of Water Softening:

Hard water contains elevated levels of calcium and magnesium, which can form scale when water is heated or evaporates. Scale can accumulate inside pipes, geysers, washing machines, dishwashers and other water-using equipment, potentially reducing efficiency and increasing maintenance requirements.

The water softener reduces hardness through an ion-exchange process. As water passes through the resin bed, the resin exchanges calcium and magnesium ions, producing softened water that is less likely to form hard-water scale.

Softened water can also improve the performance of soaps and detergents, potentially reducing the amount required for cleaning. It can help reduce deposits on surfaces, plumbing fixtures and appliances.

The manual control head allows the operator to perform the required backwash and regeneration process when necessary. This provides a straightforward method of maintaining the resin bed without relying on an automatic electrical control valve.

It should be correctly size according to water hardness, flow requirements and water consumption Regeneration frequency will depend on the hardness of the incoming water, water consumption and the softener’s resin capacity.
