Excessive hardness in water due to high levels of calcium carbonate will cause scale buildup on pipes and particularly water heating elements. Also there will be difficulty getting soap and detergents to lather. All these problems can be eliminated efficiently and automatically using an Autotrol Water Softener. These utilise the ion exchange process where the calcium is replaced with the more soluble sodium. This is all done automatically using a timer control which allows the water softener resin bed to backwash and regenerate with a brine solution as required.

• Softener Tank: ABS lined fibreglass reinforced exterior
• Brine Tank: Polyethylene - moulded high density

256 Bypass Valve
This fits directly onto the softener inlet/outlet and allows for bypass when soft water is not required such as watering the garden

460 Commander
This is the microprocessor control which actually measures water usage so regeneration is only done when necessary

Turbulator
This is fitted onto the resin tank riser pipe and allows turnover of the resin bed during the backwash. This is highly effective for removing iron buildup from the resin bed
