The continuous water cycle . . .
Nature intended us to have high quality water. This is why we have the
continuous water
cycle,
whereby water from our oceans, rivers, lakes and streams falls to the ground as
rain or snow and becomes filtered as it seeps through the earth's surface. As the water
works its way through the ground, however, it picks up minerals by dissolving limestone,
causing water hardness. Water may also come into contact with iron, manganese,
Arsenic and other contaminants, which cause additional water treatment problems.
The chart below lists typical whole house water quality problems and indicates which
equipment effectively corrects any problems you may have in your home.

Watts® water softeners
"Hard" water is not considered unhealthy; however,
hard water problems end up costing you money
through increased soap usage, reliance on water
softening products and shorter life for appliances due
to scale build-up in pipes and other factors.
To correct water hardness, Watts offers a wide range
of water conditioning systems, designed to improve
water quality throughout your entire household.
Enjoy these many benefits Watts
®
water softeners provide
• Spot-free glassware and dishes.
• No mineral deposits on bathtubs and shower stalls.
• Brighter, softer laundry.
• Less reliance on water softening products.
• Dramatic reduction in soap usage.
• Manageable hair because shampoo works better.
• Pipes remain free of calcium scale build-up.
• Extended life of appliances and reduced energy
costs because scale is virtually eliminated.
• Spot-free car wash (if softened water is used).
Metered valve for
greater efficiency
Our control valve is
metered for greater
efficiency and reduced
salt usage, because
regeneration of the
softener resin is based
on water consumption.
Push button settings
provide ease-of-use
.
Two equipment types
Watts water softeners are available in two
configurations, including:
Single tank
Single tank systems include one tank for the
softening resin, a brine tank for salt, used to
regenerate the softening resin and our metered
control valve.
Dual tank
Dual tank systems come with an additional tank
with activated carbon for pre-treatment, which
removes chlorine, tastes and odors in municipal
water applications and extend the life of the
softening resin.
Model selection is typically based on water hardneess,
water usage, water source and other factors.
