Water is a natural solvent
Water hardness is primarily calcium and magnesium
Minerals dissolved in water are present as ions. Ions have an electrical charge; either positive or negative. Ion exchange resins take advantage of this charge.
Water Softeners are cation exchangers meaning they will exchange, or pick up all positive ions. Positive ions are calcium, magnesium, iron, copper, lead, sodium, zinc, manganese, mercury, and other metals.
Water Problems and Treatment
HARDNESS: A water softener removes the hardness minerals from water and replaces it with sodium which is an inert mineral. Sodium readily dissolves in water; it has high solubility which means it will stay in solution unlike the hardness minerals.
A water softener will also exchange (remove) other metallic ions in solution such as iron, manganese, copper, etc. These ions must be dissolved in the water for complete removal. Oxidized iron will pass directly through the softener.

Autocirc the Original Instant Hot Water System
Go Green! Save Green! How The autocirc Works: A built-in temperature sensor automatically turns the autocirc pump on when the water temperature in the hot water supply line cools down to 85°F. This cool water in the hot water supply line is then pumped into the cold water line and back into the water heater. The autocirc pump turns off automatically when the hot water supply line to the faucet reaches a temperature of 95°F, ensuring the instant availability of shower warm water with maximum temperature hot water only seconds behind. When the pump is automatically turned off by the built-in thermostat, an auto closure device prevents hot or cold water from mixing in either supply line. Another beneficial feature is that hot water will also be instantly available at all other faucets in the supply line between the water heater and the faucet where the autocirc pump is installed.

ACT-909 Tankless Pumps
The ACT-909 -TANKLESS is retrofit hot water circulation system designed for tankless water heating systems. The innovative product design provides a controlled hot water recirculation system for tankless water heaters. The benefits of tankless water heater systems are increased by adding the luxury and convenience of instant hot water at all fixtures in the home thus providing your customer with a true instant hot water system. Features:
The ACT-909-TANKLESS is installed underneath the fixture farthest from the water heater where hot water takes the longest to arrive. The built-in temperature sensor regulates the system temperature and limits the length of time the tankless heater will be operating during the recirculation period. The system will maintain a constant temperature at all fixtures in the home providing the immediate availability of hot water at all fixtures. The built-in 24 hour timer also allows you to select the times of day that you wish to have the system cycle. The timer is programmable in 1/2 hour increments and multiple on/off settings can be programmed. When the pump is off, a built in auto closure device prevents any future mix of hot to cold or cold to hot water. |
