FAQ
Q: What regeneration cycle does the CES-2900E-300 use, and how does it minimize water and salt consumption?
A: The system utilizes meter-initiated regeneration with an NXT2 programmable controller that monitors actual water usage rather than operating on a fixed timer schedule. This ensures regeneration occurs only when needed based on hardness removal capacity, significantly reducing salt and water consumption while maintaining optimal softening performance.
Q: What size mineral tank and dimensions should I plan for when installing this system?
A: The CES-2900E-300 features a 24" x 72" mineral tank with overall system dimensions of 89"H x 64"W x 30"D. The operating weight is approximately 3,290 lbs when fully loaded with salt and water, so ensure your installation location can support this weight on a smooth, level surface.
Q: What applications is the CES-2900E-300 best suited for in commercial environments?
A: This high-capacity system excels in demanding commercial and light industrial applications including cold water-fed warewashing equipment, commercial laundry operations (linen and uniform services), boiler scale control, water heater protection, and general housekeeping where consistent soft water delivery at high flow rates is essential for equipment longevity and performance.
