Understanding Your New Clack Water Softener

Congratulations on your new Clack water softener from PV Well Water! You’ve made a great choice for improving your home’s water quality. At PV Well Water, we understand the importance of soft water, and we’re committed to providing you with the best solutions for your needs.

This blog post will walk you through the key features of your new softener and how it works to deliver soft, clean water throughout your home.

Customized for Your Water Hardness

Your Clack softener isn’t a one-size-fits-all solution. Our expert technicians have precisely programmed it based on your home’s specific water hardness, measured in grains per gallon (GPG). This ensures optimal efficiency and effectiveness in removing the minerals that cause hard water problems.

Intelligent Monitoring with Turbine Meter

Equipped with a high-precision turbine meter, your softener accurately tracks every gallon of water used. This data allows the system to monitor its own capacity and initiate regeneration at the perfect time.

Proactive Regeneration for Uninterrupted Soft Water

Your Clack softener is programmed to regenerate when it reaches 75% capacity. This proactive approach ensures you always have soft water, even during periods of higher-than-usual usage.

Efficient Regeneration Cycle - Working While You Sleep

Regeneration typically occurs in the middle of the night to minimize any disruption to your water usage. Here’s a simplified breakdown of the process:

  1. Backwash: Lifts the resin bed and flushes away accumulated minerals.
  2. Brine Draw: Precisely doses the resin with a predetermined amount of salt (usually 9.5 pounds per cubic foot) to recharge its softening capacity.
  3. Second Backwash: Ensures all mineral debris is removed.
  4. Rapid Rinse: Eliminates excess brine from the system.
  5. Brine Fill: Refills the brine tank with the correct amount of water to dissolve the salt for the next regeneration cycle.

Enjoy the Benefits of Soft Water

With your new Clack water softener, you can say goodbye to:

  • Dry skin and hair: Soft water is gentler on your skin and hair, leaving them feeling softer and smoother.
  • Scale buildup: Prevent limescale from damaging your appliances and plumbing fixtures, extending their lifespan.
  • Spotty dishes and laundry: Enjoy sparkling clean dishes and brighter laundry without hard water spots.
  • Soap scum: Reduce soap scum buildup in your bathrooms and showers, making cleaning easier.
