Excerpt:
Your water conditioner has been designed to adequately handle up to 100 grains per gallon of hardness as well as up to 2 ppm of Ferrous Bicarbonate Iron.
This is iron that is dissolved in an oxygen-free water supply. It is not visible to the eye in a freshly drawn sample because the water appears clear.
But upon standing in contact with air, the ferrous iron will become oxidized to the ferric state and start to precipitate as a reddish brown floc. It can then be seen and if allowed to remain in the supply will cause discolored water.
In order for your conditioner to remove the iron, air (oxygen) must be kept from coming in contact with water until after it has been passed through the water conditioner.
In some cases, additional equipment may be required to treat water supplies having special characteristics, such as: oxidized iron, iron bacteria, low pH, taste and odors, etc. If any question should exist, contact your dealer.
This conditioner is not intended to be used for treating water that is microbiologically unsafe or of unknown quality without adequate disinfection before or after the system.
Excess amounts of calcium and magnesium in water produce hardness.
A water softener removes the majority of calcium and magnesium to produce softened water. Hardness is measured in terms of grains.
(This grain weight is derived from the average weight of a dry grain of wheat.) When your water is tested the grain hardness is calculated and expressed as grains per gallon (gpg).
This calculation, as well as the number of people in your household will help determine what type and size of water softener will most efficiently soften your water.
Your water softener contains an ion exchange media (sometimes called resin) which removes the hardness from water as it flows through the softener tank.
Eventually so much hardness collects on the exchange media that the softener can no longer soften water. At this point it is considered "exhausted". Regeneration is now necessary.
