Key Features
- ✓ Triplex Parallel Configuration: Three fiberglass resin tanks operate in parallel to ensure continuous soft water supply with zero downtime during regeneration cycles
- ✓ NXT2 Programmable Controllers: Advanced meter-initiated regeneration technology minimizes salt and water consumption while linking multiple valves via CAT 5 cable communication
- ✓ High-Capacity Performance: Delivers up to 141 GPM continuous flow at 15 psi pressure drop, ideal for large-scale commercial operations and industrial settings
- ✓ Fiberglass-Reinforced Vessels: Corrosion-resistant polyethylene tanks with continuous fiberglass winding and epoxy resin seal ensure leak-free, long-lasting durability
- ✓ Large Capacity Brine Tank: 1,200-pound salt storage maximizes time between refills, reducing maintenance frequency and operational interruptions
- ✓ 2-Inch Commercial Porting: Oversized connections accommodate high flow demands while maintaining low pressure drop for optimal system efficiency
FAQ
Q: What is the advantage of the triplex parallel configuration over single or duplex systems?
A: The triplex configuration ensures uninterrupted soft water delivery even during regeneration cycles. With three tanks operating in parallel, at least two tanks remain in service while one regenerates, providing continuous flow rates up to 141 GPM without any hard water breakthrough.
Q: How does the meter-initiated regeneration save salt and water?
A: The NXT2 controller monitors actual water usage and initiates regeneration only when the resin capacity is exhausted, rather than on a fixed time schedule. This intelligent metering reduces unnecessary regeneration cycles, minimizing salt consumption and wastewater discharge by up to 30% compared to timer-based systems.
Q: What type of applications is the CES-2900E-120-TP best suited for?
A: This system excels in high-demand commercial and light industrial applications including large-scale laundry facilities, hotel/hospitality operations, foodservice operations, boiler feed systems, car washes, and any application requiring continuous soft water at flow rates up to 141 GPM with zero downtime tolerance.
