CuZn Salt Free Water Softener Treats Up to 25 Grains of Hardness in Water
CuZn has created a smarter, smaller salt free option to remove hardness, and, unlike other water softener systems, also removes other contaminants from your water. Their patented Foam Technology allows them to combine multiple filtration medias in a Big Blue cartridge with minimal pressure loss. This unique system comes in a double split-flow unit that is available in 10” 45,000 gallon or 20” 80,000 gallon refillable tanks. This innovative water softener and water purifier system includes:
- Filtersorb SB3 to condition and soften your water up to 25 grains of hardness. This media is a catalyst media that transforms the dissolved calcium and magnesium carbonate into non-charged neutral chemical bonds (calcite crystals). When the crystals become nanometer (microscopic), they detach and are carried away by the water flow.
- CuZn's patented fast flow GRA (Granular Radial Axel) media with KDF55 and the highly rated Acid Washed Coconut Shell Carbon to remove chlorine, disinfection by-products (DBP’s), herbicides, pesticides and other inorganic and organic compounds.
How to Measure Water Hardness
The two most common units of measurement for hardness are grains per gallon and milligrams per liter. Some appliances, such as dishwashers and washing machines, have a setting to adjust for the hardness of the water. Usually the hardness setting for these appliances is in grains per gallon.
In grains per gallon, the hardness in water is classified as follows:
- Less than 4 grains per gallon is considered to be soft
- 4 to 7 grains per gallon is considered to be moderately hard water
- 7 to 10 grains per gallon is hard water
- greater than 10 grains per gallon is very hard water
If your test for hardness is given in parts per million (ppm), you can convert it to grains by using this formula:
17.1 ppm = 1 grain
Divide the ppm by 17.1 for the total grains. For example, if your hardness is 250 ppm, 250 divided by 17.1 = 14.63 grains of hardness, with is quite hard.
CuZn Salt Free Water Softener can handle up to 25 grains of hardness. If you have more than that, call us toll free at 866-875-4386 for more information about a custom salt-free water softener solution.
