Key Features
- ✓ High-Capacity Softening: Removes up to 120,000 grains of hardness to protect warewashing equipment, boilers, and water heaters from scale buildup
- ✓ Meter-Initiated Regeneration: Electronic monitoring system regenerates only when needed, minimizing salt and water consumption while reducing operating costs
- ✓ Advanced NXT2 Controller: User-friendly programmable control system features fully adjustable 5-cycle regeneration with upflow backwash, downflow brining, slow rinse, rapid rinse, and timed brine refill
- ✓ Durable Fiberglass Construction: Corrosion-resistant pressure vessel manufactured with polyethylene shell continuously wound with fiberglass and sealed with epoxy resin for leak-free, long-lasting performance
- ✓ Large-Capacity Brine Tank: 750-lb salt storage capacity maximizes time between refills, reducing maintenance requirements in high-demand commercial environments
- ✓ 2-Inch Porting: Commercial-grade 2" FNPT connections accommodate high flow rates up to 47 GPM continuous service for demanding foodservice and industrial applications
FAQ
Q: What applications is the CES-2900E-120 water softener best suited for?
A: The CES-2900E-120 is ideal for commercial and light industrial applications including cold water-fed warewashing equipment, laundry facilities for linen and uniforms, boiler scale control, water heater protection, and general housekeeping where hardness removal is essential for equipment longevity and performance.
Q: How does the meter-initiated regeneration system help reduce operating costs?
A: The electronic meter-initiated regeneration monitors actual water usage and triggers regeneration cycles only when the system reaches capacity, rather than on a fixed time schedule. This intelligent approach minimizes unnecessary salt and water consumption, reducing both material costs and wastewater discharge.
Q: What are the installation requirements for proper operation of this system?
A: The system requires installation on a level surface capable of supporting 1,600 lbs operating weight, water pressure between 25-125 PSI (with pressure regulator required if exceeding 80 PSI), 115 VAC/60 Hz electrical connection, and proper drain line installation with air-gap maintained. A vacuum breaker must be installed if negative pressure could exceed 5½" Hg, and the system should only be used with cold water supplies between 40-100°F.
