Key Features
- ✓ High-Capacity Softening: Removes up to 150,000 grains of hardness to protect commercial equipment from scale buildup and extend operational life
- ✓ Meter-Initiated Regeneration: Advanced electronic metering ensures regeneration only when needed, minimizing salt and water consumption for cost-effective operation
- ✓ Large 2-Inch Porting: Accommodates high flow rates up to 53 GPM continuous service, ideal for warewashing, laundry, boiler feed, and general commercial applications
- ✓ Durable Fiberglass Vessel: Corrosion-resistant polyethylene shell continuously wound with fiberglass and sealed with epoxy resin for leak-free, long-lasting performance
- ✓ User-Friendly NXT2 Controller: Programmable electronic controls with fully adjustable 5-cycle regeneration (backwash, brining, slow rinse, rapid rinse, brine refill)
- ✓ Large Capacity Brine Tank: 750-pound salt storage capacity maximizes time between refills, reducing maintenance frequency
FAQ
Q: What types of commercial applications is the CES-2900E-150 water softener designed for?
A: The CES-2900E-150 is engineered for cold water fed warewashing equipment, commercial laundry operations (linen and uniform), boiler scale control, water heater protection, and general commercial housekeeping applications where hardness removal is critical.
Q: How does the meter-initiated regeneration system save on operating costs?
A: Unlike time-clock systems that regenerate on a fixed schedule, the meter-initiated regeneration monitors actual water usage and only regenerates when the programmed capacity is reached, significantly reducing unnecessary salt and water consumption.
Q: What are the electrical and plumbing requirements for installation?
A: The system requires 115 VAC/60 Hz/1 Phase electrical connection, 2-inch FNPT inlet and outlet connections, operating water pressure between 25-125 psi, and adequate drain line access with proper air-gap installation per local plumbing codes.
