Benefits of EC4 Water Conditioning System:
FUNCTION
Softens, conditions and filters your water to remove calcium and magnesium – the two primary components of hard water.
PERFORMANCE
The EC4 control valve is self-cleaning for maximum performance and long life. High flow rates assure a consistent, plentiful supply of conditioned water without worry of losing pressure. Powerful, self-lubricating 75-inch-per-pound drive motor.
ECONOMY
Powered by an energy-efficient, low-voltage 24-volt electrical system.
FAIL-SAFE FEATURES
Exclusive brine valve float system reduces chance of overflow; automatic bypass during regeneration means you always have water; fail-safe tank-within-a-tank construction. A built-in battery back-up system maintains critical program data in the event of a power outage.
RELIABILITY
Carries RainSoft’s lifetime warranty for the treatment tank, value, and electrical parts–the finest and most comprehensive warranty in the industry!
How a EC4 Water Conditioning System Works:
Step
DOWNFLOW CONDITIONING:
Untreated water flows through the filter media where hardness-causing minerals are removed.
Step
UPFLOW BACKWASH:
The conditioning resin bed is “fluffed” to separate solids from the media.
Step
DOWNFLOW BRINING:
The system injects the exact amount of brine (salt water) made from filtered water needed for full-strength regeneration of the system.
Step
SLOW DOWNFLOW BRINE RINSE:
Slow rinsing of the brine through the filter media provides a deep rinsing action to make sure all traces of salt are removed from the media bed.
Step
FAST DOWNFLOW RINSE:
Fast downflow rinse repacks the media, assuring maximum resin efficiency while removing any salt residue and any remaining traces of rust and iron.
Step
TREATED BRINE MAKEUP REFILL:
A precise, preset quantity of filtered water is used to make a clean brine solution for regeneration; other brands use raw, unconditioned water to clean the media bed.
