FAQ
Q: What water pressure range does the CES-2850E-90 require for proper operation?
A: The system operates optimally between 25-125 PSI. When daytime water pressure exceeds 80 PSI, a pressure regulating valve must be installed to prevent warranty voidance. If pressure falls below 25 PSI, additional equipment is needed to maintain minimum 30 PSI operating pressure.
Q: How often will the brine tank need to be refilled with salt?
A: With a 750-pound salt storage capacity and regeneration using 27 pounds of salt per cycle, refill frequency depends on your water usage and hardness levels. The meter-initiated regeneration ensures salt is used only when needed, maximizing time between refills compared to time-clock based systems.
Q: Can this system be used with a water heater to prevent scale buildup?
A: Yes, the CES-2850E-90 is ideal for water heater scale protection. When connecting to a water heater, install a check valve on the soft water piping to prevent hot water back-up. The system is designed for cold water applications (40-100°F).
