]]><![CDATA[Hard water reduces the efficiency of water-using appliances]]>Hard water reduces the efficiency of water-using appliances and may increase the need for service or replacement. Unconditioned water leads to the build up of minerals on appliances and the clogging of pipes. Most appliance manufacturers recommend home water conditioning systems to help appliances operate more efficiently.

Hard Water requires the use of more soap and detergents

Hard water also increases the time needed and frequency of cleaning your home. Streaks, water spots, scaling and soap scum are all a result of hard water. With the REIONATOR® whole-house water conditioner, your tub, toilets and fixtures will take less time to clean, and stay clean longer, because hard water scaling and soap residue have been eliminated.

]]><![CDATA[When you step out of the shower, does your skin feel dry, tight, and itchy?]]>When you step out of the shower, does your skin feel dry, tight, and itchy? Just like the soap scum that is left behind in the tub, soap residue remains on our bodies after bathing. Hard water is less effective at washing away the soaps we use to clean our skin. When drying off, we grind the remaining soap residue into our pores - which causes dryness and itching. Our bodies encounter additional soap residue on the sheets we sleep in and the clothes we wear.

With REIONATOR® water, you'll enjoy bathing and showering more than ever. Your skin will feel soft and soap residue will rinse off completely, because your pores do not clog due to hardness in your water.

]]><![CDATA[American Laundry Institute R & D]]>According to the American Laundry Institute, your clothing wears out 30 percent faster in hard water. Soap scum left behind on your clothing makes the fibers hard and brittle. When your clothes are in the dryer they rub together - like rubbing a metal file on metal - and the fibers wear down or break. This is why the lint trap in your dryer is always full.

Additionally, most detergent manufacturers assume your water is hard. Because of hardness in your water, soap can not lather and becomes ineffective. That's why over sixty percent of detergent is nothing more than chemical water softeners, which means you get less soap for your money.

The REIONATOR® will condition and soften your water giving it greater cleaning power. Shortly after your home water conditioning system is installed, you'll notice that your towels are softer and your clothes are brighter.

]]><![CDATA[The REIONATOR® Family]]>The REIONATOR® family includes the following product series: SoftMax™ high-efficiency cation softener, REIONATOR® Select and Premium conditioner for broad spectrum taste, odor and aesthetic chlorine reduction with less of a 'slimy' feeling after showering, NitroMax™ conditioner for softening and Nitrate reduction, FerroMax™ conditioner for severe Hardness, Iron and Manganese removal. The REIONATOR® may also be specially engineered for reducing specific unwanted minerals from a given water supply on an individual basis.

]]><![CDATA[The REIONATOR® Regeneration Process]]>The REIONATOR® water conditioner is equipped with a brine tank to provide a source of dissolved Potassium Chloride or Sodium Chloride for regenerating the resin and an automatic control valve to direct the flow of water during service and regeneration cycles. REIONATOR® water conditioners are adjustable to meet the efficiency standards of recent environmental legislation and an increasing desire to conserve natural resources.

At the beginning of the service cycle, Potassium or Sodium Chloride ions occupy the resin's exchange sites. As water passes through the charged resin, a stronger affinity for hardness and other unwanted minerals causes the resins to take on those unwanted minerals and give up its Potassium and Chloride ions. Certain variables such as: TDS, temperature, flow-rate, contaminant levels and other factors can affect the performance of the treatment process. When the capacity of the resin has been exhausted, the REIONATOR's® automatic control valve uses the Potassium salt brine to rinse the TechSoft and TechBlend media, driving off the unwanted minerals and recharging them for the next service cycle. This multi-step regeneration process typically takes about 80 minutes to complete.

The automatic control valve carries out each regeneration cycle. The regeneration cycle starts with an upflow backwash (lasting 5-10 minutes) that lifts and re-sorts the resin bed while flushing out suspended particles and sediment. During the brining cycle that follows, a solution of Potassium Chloride (or Sodium Chloride) is passed through the resin media. A jet stream eductor within the control valve draws concentrated brine from the storage tank while diluting it to the proper concentration. The regulated brine draw lasts from 10 to 25 minutes depending on the regeneration dosage of salt being used. The brining releases hardness and other unwanted minerals from the resin beads. Brining is followed by a slow rinse (lasting 30-45 minutes) that displaces spent and excess brine from the resin bed. The rinse carries to the drain the hardness and unwanted minerals that were released from the resin bed. A final fast rinse, lasting about 5-minutes, flushes any remaining brine from the resin media and tightly packs the media bed to prevent raw water from passing through the resin bed untreated during service. The automatic control valve then refills the proper amount of fresh water to the brine storage tank to dissolve brine for the next regeneration cycle.

]]><![CDATA[What makes the REIONATOR® resin blend unique?]]>The WaterTech REIONATOR® is a family of ion exchange water conditioners designed to treat water containing one or more unwanted minerals. A typical unit is equipped with one or two pressure tanks partially filled with one or several ion exchange resins. Our TechSoft™ and TechBlend™ media consist of highly porous resin beads that are loaded with ion exchange sites. There are millions of these ion exchange sites within a REIONATOR® conditioner tank. These resins are preferentially attracted to hardness and other dissolved unwanted minerals. Each cubic foot of TechSoft resins can remove about 30,000 grains (exchange capacity) of hardness when dosed with 15 pounds of Potassium chloride. At a lower (economy) dosage of 6 pounds per cubic foot, the TechSoft resin yields about 20,000 grains of exchange capacity. This lower dosage is more cost-efficient, but it requires more frequent regeneration. TechBlend resins vary in capacity and selectivity and are engineered to meet specific application and unwanted mineral removal requirements.

]]><![CDATA[Fundamentals of the REIONATOR® Ion Exchange Treatment Process]]>Water that contains dissolved calcium, magnesium, iron and manganese is commonly referred to as "hard" because these metals can combine with other compounds to leave hard scales or stains on the surfaces they touch, as well as interfering with the effectiveness of soap and other cleaning products. Water may also contain other dissolved unwanted minerals such as lead, nitrates, aesthetic chlorine, aluminum, organics that produce off tastes and odors, and other impurities.
The proper selection of a WaterTech REIONATOR® ion exchange water conditioner can greatly reduce or eliminate the problems caused by the presence of hardnes and other unwanted minerals from water supplies.
The REIONATOR® is not intended to serve as a filter for removal of particulate matter. WaterTech Industries offers other products that are specifically designed for this purpose.
