FAQ
Q: How does the triplex parallel configuration ensure continuous soft water supply?
A: The CES-2900E-210-TP features three independent softener tanks that operate in parallel. While one or two tanks regenerate, the remaining tank(s) continue providing soft water, ensuring uninterrupted service for demanding commercial applications that require 24/7 operation.
Q: What pressure requirements are needed for proper operation?
A: The system requires operating water pressure between 25-125 PSI (1.7-8.6 bar). If daytime pressure exceeds 80 PSI, a pressure regulator must be installed to prevent exceeding the 125 PSI maximum rating and voiding the warranty. Water temperature should be maintained between 40-100°F (4-38°C).
Q: How often does the brine tank need to be refilled with salt?
A: With a 2,200 lbs salt storage capacity and 63 lbs salt usage per regeneration cycle, the frequency depends on water hardness and usage volume. The large capacity brine tank significantly extends time between refills compared to smaller systems, reducing maintenance visits and operational costs.
