Are There Environmentally Friendly Water Purification Systems?
Friday, November 21st, 2008Efficiency
The water conditioning industry as a whole has been striving to improve the processes and efficiency of water treatment products—some of this movement is in response to California’s proposed water softener ban and ever-tightening water regulations in Michigan.
Our Promate 6.0™ Water Conditioning System is actually a pioneer in this area. Utilizing brine reclaim to reduce water and salt waste prevents the loss of thousands of gallons of water and hundreds of pounds of salt per year. In addition, these hyper-efficient units increase the productivity of your hot water heater by up to 30%, and may increase the life of dishwashers and washing machines by up to one-third longer.
How it works
In the beginning stages of the regeneration process, waste/ drain water has very high concentrations of the hardness minerals calcium and magnesium. As time passes the hardness concentrations drop off dramatically, leaving a high concentration of sodium in the waste/drain water that did not attach to the resin beads, making this the ideal time period to recover the unused salt. This sodium-rich water is reclaimed and reused in the brine tank.
