How Does a ProMate 6.5 Water Softener Work?

1

Hard water enters your water softener and passes

 

down through the ion exchange resin, which are

 

charged with sodium ions. The hard water ions

 

(calcium and magnesium) are attracted to the ion

 

exchange resin and an equal amount of sodium

 

ions are bumped off into the water supply.

2

When the water reaches the bottom of the tank,

 

it is softened and ready to be used in your home

 

and business.

3

When softening resin is saturated with hard

 

water minerals, it must be recharged. A strong

 

salt solution enters the bottom of the tank and

 

flushes the calcium and magnesium off the

 

resin and the resin is recharged. The brine

 

solution from your brine tank is the fuel to

 

recharge the resin beads.

Your ProMate 6.5 control valve controls this

 

entire process, including the frequency of

regeneration.

The ProMate 6.5 is available in three different designs to meet your specific application:

PM6.5 Standard Design - Softening Only

PM6.5 DMT Design - Taste/Odor/Chlorine Removal and Softening.

Softened water maintains the Energy Star ratings on your water heater by prevent- ing rock like scale build-up, thus saving you significant dollars in energy costs and a much longer life for your water heater.

Stop Discoloration and Staining

Softened water eliminates hard water stains and significantly reduces rust colored stains from iron.
