Sliv,
The following system recommendation is for the replacement of the water softener at the Hastings Ice Arena. Technology
has progressed considerably since your current system was installed which allows us to offer systems with a reduced
maintenance cost and better performance over the lifespan of the system. The "side mount" 1.5" inch valve designed offered
higher flow rates than the traditional top mount. After further review I feel it would be recommended to use a 2" valve.
One notable change that comes standard with the system is the overall valve design over your current system, and even over
my competitors. The system presented has a single molded modular design that utilizes lead free brass and offers a NSF
Approved Food Grade Electro- Deposited Epoxy Coating to protect against corrosion. This system also offers non - corrosive
internals, a one piece stack assembly, and disassembles and reassembles within minutes. There are no solenoids, switches,
diaphragms, screws, nuts, bolts, etc. This simplified design allows for long term trouble free operation. V ,
This system has been sized to offer enough soft water for 2 days during peak weekends.
Additional Relevant Features and Benefits Include:
• 2" Inlet & Outlet provides higher service flows with less pressure drop
12 -Volt Operation AC or DC sr
• Electronic Meter Demand with Calendar Day Override
• Scrolling User Screen Shows Capacity Remaining, time of day and flow rate k All
• Service Interval Screen for preventative maintenance reminders
• Fully Programmable Cycles and Times
• Nine Cycle Control
• Soft Water Brine Tank Re -Fill
• Quiet Operation
• Variable Reverse automatically adjusts to changing water usage patterns for maximum efficiencies
