FAQ
Q: What is the difference between the HWBP and NHWB versions of the CES-3900E-300?
A: The HWBP (Hard Water Bypass) version is designed for single tank use and provides uninterrupted service by bypassing untreated water during regeneration. The NHWB (No Hard Water Bypass) version requires multiple units connected in parallel for continuous soft water delivery and uses on-board communication cables to link units via CAT 5 cable.
Q: What operating pressure range is required for the CES-3900E-300-HWBP?
A: The system requires water pressure between 25 and 125 PSI (1.7 - 8.6 bar). If daytime water pressure exceeds 80 PSI, a pressure regulator must be installed to prevent exceeding the 125 PSI maximum rating, or the warranty may be voided.
Q: How often does the system need to regenerate and how much salt does it use?
A: Regeneration frequency depends on water hardness and usage volume. The electronic meter initiates regeneration based on actual water consumption rather than a timer, which minimizes salt and water waste. The system uses 90 lbs of salt per regeneration cycle for optimal 300,000 grain capacity.
