Features and Benefits

Automatic Control Center Engineered for Efficient Trouble-Free Service Includes:

• Industrial grade multi-port valve with integral brine injector.
• Electrically operated cycle controller with position indicator.
• Automatic backwash flow control.
• The exclusive multi-port valve design features five hydraulically operated diaphragm valve assemblies conveniently arranged in a single compact casting. The valve seats are positioned vertically in the valve casting, reducing the possibility of dirt or debris lodging in the seat area. This design provides a positive shut-off with no leaking or dripping, as is often the case with horizontally positioned valve seats.
• Single unit softeners are provided with an automatic by-pass valve that provides service water during regeneration. Cycling of the diaphragm assemblies is smooth and entirely free of water hammer.

Automatic Self-Regulating Brine Injector:

• Assures efficient brining without time-consuming field adjustments.

Flexi-trol Automatic Brine Maker, Includes Heavy Gauge Polyethylene Brine Tank for Maximum Strength and Corrosion Resistance:

• Platform brine system allows use of pure, clean, efficient salt pellets or nuggets, eliminating costly and time consuming brine tank cleaning.
• Flexi-trol system eliminates need for gravel subfills. This reduces shipping weight and corresponding freight costs.
• Automatic brine valve provides reliable refill of the brine system with fresh water and is fully serviceable. All critical seal areas of the brine valve are made of a tough "Implex" to prevent corrosion or scaling and assure trouble-free operation.

High Capacity Resin, Adaptable to Wide Range of Applications:

• High exchange capacity (30,000 grains per cubic foot at 15 lbs salt dosage).
• Efficient exchange capacity at lower salt dosages (20,000 grains per cubic foot at 6 lbs salt).
• Iron and manganese removal.
• Stable over entire pH range.
• Suitable for high flow rates.
• Suitable for high hardness waters.
• Physically stable at high temperatures.
• Low attrition loss.
• Minimum backwash water required.

Automatic Self-Adjusting Backwash And Flush Controls:

• Assures maximum cleansing of the resin bed during backwash and prevents loss of costly resin across the entire operating range of 30-100 psig.
• The flow control, pre-sized at the factory, eliminates the need for troublesome and time consuming field adjustments.

Available From Stock:

• Short lead time or minimum down time.

Optional Skid Mounting:

• Ease of installation in the field; lower installation cost.

System of Non-Clogging Strainers Arranged in a Radial Network:

• Assures uniform flow through the entire resin bed, resulting in maximum exchange capacity from the resin with low pressure loss.
• Eliminates wasted capacity in the bottom area of the resin tank.

Product Offering

Cleaver-Brooks cation, ion exchange, water softeners are available in package designs for virtually any commercial or industrial application. They should be used whenever raw water hardness exceeds 5 ppm. Cleaver-Brooks water softeners remove hardness, and replace it with highly soluble sodium ions. This prevents scale buildup on heat transfer surfaces and helps maintain peak boiler efficiency. Removing hardness also reduces the need for chemical treatment used to control scale. To maintain uniform softening performance, flow rates should be held between 0.5 and 6 gpm per cubic foot of resin.

It is important to note that the Cleaver-Brooks water softener is the base for many sophisticated pretreatment processes that require the control of water hardness for proper operation. The water softener is the building block for other pretreatment equipment discussed in this guide, and is engineered to interface with any existing or future pretreatment equipment.

Water softeners require periodic regeneration with salt brine. Operating Specifications:

• Pressure Range: 30 to 100 psig
• Temperature: Standard equipment suitable for waters up to 120 °F. Above 120 °F special fitted valves are available. Specify water temperature when ordering
• Electrical: 120 Volt, 60 Hz is standard; 240 Volt, 50 Hz is available. Specify electrical requirements when ordering
• Power: 6 Watts per cycle controller
