How to Size a Softener
Water Softener Sizing is Based On Water Consumption for Regeneration
• 60 gallons per person per day - total household use The volume of water used during the regeneration
• Three day minimum between regenerations process of a water softener will vary depending on:
• Capacity between regenerations at factory salt • Amount and type of resin
settings • Cycle time settings
• Number of people x 60 gallons per person x gpg of • Flow controllers
hardness x 3 days = capacity required between • Salt settings
regenerations • Tank diameter
• Consult your factory representative for water that is
75 gpg or harder Generally, water usage for regeneration is based on

Carbon Filters
These water filters use granular activated carbon to adsorb chlorine and
give you water free of chemicals. The most common application is the
removal of the undesirable taste present in many chlorinated water
supplies. The carbon filter can also be used to eliminate certain odours
and some colour applications.
It is essential that the unit is backwashed periodically to remove
accumulated suspended matter and to re-grade the filter bed.The carbon
media will require replacement, due to exhaustion from adsorption.
The Centaur carbon units are commonly applied to remove chloramines
from municipal water supplies. Chloramines attack the integrity of your
softener resin. To extend the life of your softener bed, a whole house
centaur carbon unit should be added before your softener.

Turbulator
04-1040021 1” Turbulator Kit
Autotrol® Turbulator®
The Autotrol Turbulator is a proven, economical, efficient way to enhance iron removal and
add extra value in any water conditioner.
The Turbulator is a unique system that attaches to the bottom of the conditioner’s
distributor tube deep inside of the system’s ion-exchange tank. The Turbulator backwash
distributor system doesn’t rely on the conventional raiser system; a hit-or-miss technique
where water flows up through the resin bed in the hope that some iron will be removed
in the process. Instead, the Autotrol Turbulator uses a water stream compression device
that actually physically moves and stirs the resin.
Maximum Cleaning
To ensure maximum cleaning of the resin, the Turbulator propels resin beads to the top of
the bed, and then allows them to settle back to the bottom. As the particles are stirred,
they move past one another, scrubbing the dirt and iron particles from the resin beads.
Once free from the beads, this sediment and iron flows to drain.This resin bed is constantly
turned over and reclassified, cleaning the beads and extending their life greatly. The small
investment in the Autotrol Turbulator will save you significant money over the life of the
conditioner.
Design Flexibility
Since the Turbulator works in less space, you can easily design narrower or shorter water
conditioners without compromising performance.
39
Bottom Stack Distributors
These bottom stack distributors are designed primarily for use with top mount water
softeners or filter valves. The stack distributors are comprised of individual ABS
segments which are held together with 18-8 stainless steel screws. The segmented

accumulate on the distributor.The standard slot size is .010 - .013.
To install, simply solvent weld or thread the riser pipe into the hub and insert it into the
tank through the top opening.Thread the laterals into the hub and extend the hub and
laterals to the bottom of the mineral tank.

Anthracite
Anthracite is a select coal, mined and processed for use in water filtration. It is ideal for single bed, dual bed or
multi-media filtration systems.
Crushed Anthracite makes an excellent medium density filtration media. Anthracite is mined from the finest
Pennsylvania coal. It is specifically selected for water treatment, and during its production goes through several
sizing inspections. Representative samples are randomly chosen for a complete laboratory quality control analysis
for effective size, uniformity coefficient, specific gravity, acid solubility and hardness.
Because of its angular shape, some of the sediment penetrates deeper into the bed.When compared to equivalent
filter sands, this means longer filter runs and less head loss. Backwash rates are also reduced.
Because of its unique density,Anthracite can be used in multi-media filters.At 50 lbs/ft3, it will hydraulically classify
and remain above heavier media such as Filter Sand or Manganese Greensand, providing a prefiltration layer.

Pyrolux®
A naturally mined ore, Pyrolux is a mineral form of manganese dioxide which has been used in water treatment
for more than 75 years. Pyrolux is a granular filtration media for hydrogen sulfide, iron and manganese reduction.
Pyrolux functions as a catalyst, but itself remains relatively unchanged.
Pyrolux works on a principle whereby the hydrogen sulfide, iron and manganese are oxidized and trapped on the
media while simple backwashing cleans the bed. No chemical regeneration is required, nothing is imparted into
the drinking water and Pyrolux has a high capacity for low contaminant concentrations.
Pyrolux can be used in conjunction with aeration, chlorination, ozone or other pretreatment methods for difficult
applications. Chlorine or other oxidants accelerate the catalytic reaction.
Because of its heavy weight, it is very important that Pyrolux filters are backwashed properly to
insure adequate bed expansion and continued service life.

Filter-Ag®
Filter-Ag has many outstanding advantages over the more common granular filter media used for suspended solids
reduction. Its fractured edges and irregular surface provides a high surface area and complex flow path for efficient
removal of suspended matter throughout the filter bed, typically reducing suspended solids down to the 20 – 40
micron range. Filter-Ag’s larger particle size creates less pressure loss through the filter and allows deeper
sediment penetration into the bed for higher sediment loading and longer filter runs.This large and irregular shape
prevents the screening and caking of sediment in the top several inches of the filter bed as happens in the typical
sand filter, thus preventing a rapid build up of headloss and blinding problems. Filter-Ag’s light weight means lower
backwash rates and better bed expansion to release trapped sediment and rinse the filter media during the
backwash cycle. This ideal combination of particle shape, size and density make it a good choice where quality
water filtration and water conservation are important.
Although not intended to be an iron reduction media, extensive field experience has shown Filter-Ag’s rough and
jagged surface to be very good at entrapping the fragile iron flock that forms after dissolved iron has been
oxidized. The fragmented edges are apparently good flock collection points for the precipitated iron. Typical
oxidation methods include aeration, ozonation and chlorination.
Substantial savings can be realized when designing a system using Filter-Ag. Its low pressure drop, high service flow
rates and high bed loadings combined with lower backwash rates allow economy in equipment downsizing and
reduced pumping requirements. Its light apparent density also saves on handling expense and shipping costs.
Filter-Ag can be applied to systems designed for either pressure or gravity flow. Because of its unique density,
Filter-Ag can also be used in multi-media (graded density) filter designs allowing a more flexible approach to
difficult filtration problems.

Manganese Greensand Plus
GreensandPlus™ is a black filter media used for removing soluble iron, manganese, hydrogen sulfide, arsenic and
radium from water supplies. The manganese dioxide coated surface of GreensandPlus acts as a catalyst in the
oxidation reduction reaction of iron and manganese.The silica sand core of GreensandPlus allows it to withstand
operating conditions in waters that are low in silica, TDS and hardness. When using GreensandPlus, you can
eliminate the aluminate feed.
GreensandPlus is effective at higher operating temperatures and higher differential pressures than ordinary
manganese greensand. Tolerance to higher differential pressure can provide for longer run times between
backwashes and a greater margin of safety. Systems may be designed using either vertical or horizontal pressure
filters, as well as open gravity filters.
GreensandPlus is a proven technology for iron, manganese, arsenic, radium and hydrogen sulfide removal. Unlike
in-situ treated media, there is no need for extensive preconditioning of filter media or lengthy startup periods,
during which required water quality may not be met.
GreensandPlus is an exact replacement for manganese greensand. It can be used in CR or IR applications and
requires no changes in backwash rate or times or chemical feeds.
GreensandPlus has the WQA Gold Seal Certification for compliance with NSF/ANSI 61. Packaging is available in
1/2 cubic foot bags or 1 metric ton (2,205 lbs) bulk sacks.

*Raw waters having natural pH of 6.2 or above can be filtered through GreensandPlus without pH correction. Raw waters with a pH lower than
6.2 should be pH-corrected to 6.5-6.8 before filtration. Additional alkali should be added following the filters if a pH higher than 6.5-6.8 is desired
in the treated water.This prevents the possible adverse reaction and formation of a colloidal precipitate that sometimes occurs with iron and alkali
at a pH above 6.8.

Filter Sand and Gravel
Filter sand and gravel are naturally occurring, river washed, glacial deposit products. Their excellent chemical
properties – high in silica content and low in soluble calcium, magnesium and iron compounds. Precision sizing
and uniform grading to close limits meet the rigid specifications of professional engineers throughout the world.
For over 80 years filter sand and gravel have been satisfying the requirements of industrial, municipal and
residential users.These products have been specified and used nationally and internationally because of their high
quality, desirable chemical properties, color, and wide range of precision sizing.
Processing and regular analysis of production are supervised by registered professional engineers.
Filter Sand is graded specifically for water filtration plants. It can be used in municipal, industrial or residential
applications for sediment filtration.
Uncrushed Gravel has a highly spherical shape that promotes good flow and even distribution in support beds.
Gravel is low in soluble impurities and it will maintain the quality of the treated water, especially in softeners.
Three inch layers are recommended in graded support beds.

Garnet
Called multi-media or mixed media filtration, the high density, small grain size of #30-40 Garnet solves a major
filtration problem. In a single media granular filter such as a sand filter, the material will hydraulically classify during
backwash according to granule size, the smallest rising to the top.When water flows downward through the sand,
the fine particles at the top of the bed do most of the straining of the sediment. The solids form a cake on the
surface with filtration typically taking place in the top few inches. As the cake forms, the filtration becomes finer
and the head loss increases exponentially with time.
The ideal situation would be to have the large grains of media at the top to trap the large solids, and a uniformly
decreasing grain size in the direction of fluid flow with the small grains at the bottom to do the final polishing.
The penetration of the solids into the entire bed allows for increased solids storage, longer filter runs, and higher
filtration rates.
A properly designed multi-media system will maintain its unique grading of large grains on top and small grains
on the bottom and provide superior performance even after many backwashings. This stable condition of large
grains above finer ones is achieved by the use of materials of different sizes and specific gravities. Garnet with its
high specific gravity of 4.0 forms the lower fine grain layer, its 0.3 mm effective size can filter down to the 10 –
20 micron range. Filter Sand, (effective size of 0.5 mm) and Anthracite, (effective size of 0.9 mm), or Filter-Ag can
form the larger, less dense layers.
Multi-media filtration technology is applicable to both water and waste water treatment. Custom designed filters
with varying filter bed configurations can be designed to meet specific needs. For the majority of municipal and
industrial water supply applications, a filter bed composed of 55% low density material, 30% medium density
material, and 15% high density material is recommended.
#8 Garnet at 140 lb/ft3 is a good choice for support beds when using other high purity Corosex II or the new
manganese dioxide oxidation medias such as Pyrolux.

Birm®
Birm is an efficient and economical media for the reduction of dissolved iron and manganese compounds from
raw water supplies. It may be used in either gravity fed or pressurized water treatment systems. Birm acts as an
insoluble catalyst to enhance the reaction between dissolved oxygen (D.O.) and the iron compounds. In ground
waters the dissolved iron is usually in the ferrous bicarbonate state due to the excess of free carbon dioxide and
is not filterable. Birm, acting as a catalyst between the oxygen and the soluble iron compounds, enhances the
oxidation reaction of Fe++ to Fe+++ and produces ferric hydroxide which precipitates and may be easily filtered.The
physical characteristics of Birm provide an excellent filter media which is easily cleaned by backwashing to remove
the precipitant. Birm is not consumed in the iron removal operation and therefore offers a tremendous economic
advantage over many other iron removal methods.
Other advantages of Birm include: long material life with relatively low attrition loss, a wide temperature
performance range and extremely high removal efficiency. Negligible labor costs are involved because Birm does
not require chemicals for regeneration, only periodic backwashing is required.
When using Birm for iron removal, it is necessary that the water: contain no oil or hydrogen sulphide, organic
matter not to exceed 4 - 5 ppm, the D.O. content equal at least 15% of the iron content with a pH of 6.8 or
more. If the influent water has a pH of less than 6.8, neutralizing additives such as Corosex, Calcite or soda ash
may be used prior to the Birm filter to raise the pH. A water having a low D.O. level may be pretreated by
aeration. Chlorination greatly reduces Birm’s activity. High concentrations of chlorine compounds may deplete the
catalytic coating.
Birm may also be used for manganese reduction with the same dependability as iron removal. In these applications
the water to be treated should have a pH of 8.0 – 9.0 for best results. If the water also contains iron, the pH
should be below 8.5. High pH conditions may cause the formulation of colloidal iron which is very difficult to filter
out. All other conditions remain the same for either manganese or iron removal.

Corosex® and Corosex II
Corosex
By neutralizing the free carbon dioxide in water, Corosex can correct acidic water conditions and render it less
corrosive. Corosex, being a highly reactive magnesium oxide, is used most effectively where pH correction is
substantial or high flow conditions are in use. pH correction and media consumption are affected by a number of
water chemical variables. Being soluble to acidity, Corosex will slowly dissolve and will need to be replenished
periodically.
On a per weight basis, magnesium oxide can neutralize much more acidity than can calcium carbonate (five times
as much). This results in greatly reduced chemical usage for the same pH correction. Please note, under certain
low flow conditions, Corosex may over-correct and create a highly basic (high pH) condition.
Under certain hardness conditions, pH correction can cause hardness minerals to precipitate out of solution,
resulting in cementing or solidification of the Corosex mineral bed. Upflow service is generally recommended
with hardness exceeding five grains per gallon. (Always use an in-line filter ahead of an upflow system to prevent
plugging of the lower distribution screen).
As Corosex’s magnesium oxide neutralizes the water, it will increase hardness and a softener may become
necessary after the neutralizing filter.
Corosex can be effectively combined with Calcite to combine the high flow neutralization properties of Corosex,
along with the slower reacting low flow properties of Calcite, reducing potentially high basic properties due to
overcorrection.
Corosex II
Also available is a high purity, high density magnesium oxide that overcomes some of the drawbacks of the original
Corosex.The advantage of Corosex II is that it is a slower reacting, more stable form of magnesium oxide, yet it
retains the advantages of substantial corrections to low pH waters and reduced chemical usage.
55
Activated Carbon
Granular activated carbon is designed for reduction of tastes, odors and dissolved organic chemicals from
municipal and industrial water supplies. Manufactured in the United States from select grades of bituminous coal
to produce a high density, durable granular product capable of withstanding the abrasion and dynamics associated
with repeated hydraulic transport, backwashing and mechanical handling. Activation is carefully controlled to
produce exceptionally high internal surface area with optimum pore size for the adsorption of a broad range of
high and low molecular weight organic contaminants.
One of the most common applications for High Activity Carbon (HAC) is the reduction of the undesirable tastes
and odors present in many chlorinated water supplies. HAC has been successful for many years in the reduction
of free chlorine from water supplies. The end product is clean, fresh water with no objectionable taste or odor
characteristics.
To obtain maximum efficiency of the activated carbon in the adsorption process, it is desirable to have the greatest
possible surface area in the smallest practical volume. This is necessary because the rate of adsorption is
proportional to the amount of surface area of the adsorbing medium media. HAC has a surface area of 850 square
meters per gram.This results in high efficiency and greater system economy. Petwa has provided activated carbon
as a pre-treatment for other water purification systems as well as for use in individual treatment equipment for
the removal of specific impurities.
HAC requires periodic backwashing to eliminate accumulated suspended matter and to re-grade the filter bed.
HAC has an extremely high capacity but must be replaced when the filter bed loses the capacity for reduction of
taste and odor. HAC may be used in either domestic or industrial applications using gravity flow or pressurized
filter vessels.

Calcite
Calcite is a naturally occurring calcium carbonate media. One of the advantages of Calcite is its self-limiting
property. When properly applied, it corrects pH only enough to reach a non-corrosive equilibrium. It does not
over-correct under normal conditions. Upon contact with Calcite, acidic waters slowly dissolve the calcium
carbonate to raise the pH which reduces the potential leaching of copper, lead and other metals found in typical
plumbing systems. Periodic backwashing will prevent packing, reclassify the bed and maintain high service rates.
Depending on pH, water chemistry and service flow, the Calcite bed will have to be periodically replenished as
the Calcite is depleted.
As the Calcite’s calcium carbonate neutralizes the water, it will increase hardness and a softener may become
necessary after the neutralizing filter.
Calcite can be effectively combined with Corosex to combine the high flow neutralization properties of Corosex,
along with the slower reacting low flow properties of Calcite, increasing the ability to correct low pH.

MTM®
MTM is a granular manganese dioxide filtering media used for reducing iron, manganese and hydrogen sulphide
from water. Its active surface coating oxidizes and precipitates soluble iron and manganese. Hydrogen sulphide is
oxidized to a sulphur.The precipitates are filtered out in the granular bed and removed by backwashing.
MTM consists of a light weight granular core with a coating of manganese dioxide. The coating provides an
example of contact filtration where the media itself provides the oxidizing potential. This allows for a much
broader range of operation than many other iron removal media. A pH level as low as 6.2 can be treated.
Dissolved oxygen is not essential.The media’s light weight reduces backwash water requirements.
When the oxidizing power of MTM is reduced, the bed has to be regenerated with a weak solution of potassium
permanganate (KMnO4), thus restoring its oxidizing capacity. A regenerating solution of 1-1/2 to 2 ounces (dry
weight) of potassium permanganate per cubic foot is sufficient for normal regeneration. Upon start-up a new bed
should be backwashed and caution taken to insure that the lightweight media is not backwashed to drain.A new
bed should be regenerated the evening of installation. Operating the filter after its oxidizing capacity is exhausted
will reduce its service life and may cause staining.
MTM requires either intermittent or continuous regeneration to maintain its oxidizing capacity. A solution of
potassium permanganate (or chlorine then potassium permanganate) can be pre-fed to maintain capacity. In the
latter case, the manganese dioxide coating acts as a catalyst to enhance the oxidation reaction and as a buffer to
reduce any excess potassium permanganate concentration and prevent it from entering the service lines.

Notes: 1Pressure Regulator is recommended for feed water pressures exceeding 552 kPa (80 psig). The performance of a reverse osmosis membrane is highly dependent
upon pressure, temperature and TDS. The actual volume of product water and rejection percentage will vary with differences from the test conditions that membrane
ratings are based upon. These drinking water systems are not intended to be used for the treatment of water that is microbiologically unsafe or of unknown quality.
Storage tank capacity is dependent on pressure. Example: with a 7 psi precharge, the drawdown volume is 2.16 gal at 60 psi, 1.79 gal at 40 psi for the storage tank
shown.
Booster Pump
Raises the water pressure and maintains it at the ideal level for the system
to operate at maximum efficiency. Recommended for use on supplies with
low pressure or high concentrations of total dissolved solids (TDS). The
pump is self-priming and whisper-quiet. It runs on a 24VAC transformer
(included) from a standard 120VAC electrical outlet.
System includes: Flexible mounting plate, quick connect fittings and a
pressure shut-off switch.

The RFFE20-BB cartridge is designed to provide an easy and effective method of reducing iron
from water, which greatly improves the taste.
This cartridge helps to eliminate the orange and brown stains often found in sinks, toilets, tubs
and other plumbing fixtures.
RFFE20-BB reduces the possibility of damage to pipes and water heaters and reduces up to 3
ppm dissolved iron.
It adds no harmful chemicals to the water, making it completely safe for drinking water appli-
cations.
The RFFE20-BB cartridge should be installed on the main cold water line after the pressure
tank or water meter. For best results, pre-sediment and post-carbon treatment is
recommended.
*Test results were obtained by using the RFFE20-BB in combination with an RFC20-BB cartridge.
NOTE: Water conditions outside of the above specified limits may lead to a shortened filtration life. If your water contains Iron Bacteria, shock
chlorination is recommended.
WARNING: Do not use with water that is microbiologically unsafe or of unknown quality without adequate disinfection before or after the system.
CAUTION: Protect against freezing to prevent cracking of the filter and water leakage.
NOTE: The RFFE20-BB and RFC20-BB cartridges will contain a very small amount of fines (very fine powder) and new cartridges, after installation,
should be flushed with sufficient water to remove all traces of fines from your water system before use.

Point-of-Use Filter Cartridges
A comprehensive line of cartridge filters that meet or exceed the requirements is offered for basic and premium
point-of-use water systems. Our filters improve taste, eliminate odor and reduce sediment, lead, cysts, chlorine
and volatile chemicals in potable water supplies.
Technology Ensures High Performance
Melt-blowing technology is regarded as the best method for sediment filter construction. This fabrication also
features a graded density, which uses the entire depth of the filter to capture sediment.This specialized technique
increases dirt-loading and extends the life of the filter. Other features include:
• Thermally bonded fibers will not migrate into water
• Filters available from 1 to 25 microns
• Broad chemical compatibility
Melt blown polypropylene cartridges offer a self-supporting, thermally fused filter media that requires no separate
center support tube. No adhesives, binding agents or anti-static agents are used.
Carbon Block Design for Quality and Convenience
Our carbon block filters offer a strong, uniform filter medium that prevents channeling, fluidizing and bypassing,
thus providing optimal performance.The performance capabilities of activated carbon block filters typically exceed
granular activated carbon (GAC) filters. In addition, our filters feature:
• Performance capabilities meets or exceed competition
• Wide range of chemical reduction capabilities
• Color coded end caps for easy model identification
There is also a full line of carbon filters with smaller diameters offered, allowing installation into slim-style
housings, while still maintaining the performance capabilities of full-sized filters.
GE carbon filters are manufactured from FDA accepted materials.
GE sediment filters conform to ANSI/NSF 42 for material safety.

CF Series Commercial Filter
Hotels, car washes, laundromats, apartment buildings, industry and food
producers require high quality water to meet the demands of their
customers. Water containing turbidity, iron, manganese and sulfur has a
negative impact on the ability of a business or institution to supply quality
products and services.
Commercial filter applications demand equipment of the highest quality
and performance to provide reliable, consistent operation after the instal-
lation and for years to come.
The CF Series of commercial filters have four types of standard filters to treat most water problems.
CFSD nextSand™ Filters - Petwa® sand filters are an economical filter for removing silt, turbidity, suspended
matter and rust particles within the range of 25 - 30 microns. Sand filter media beds are supported by a layered
gravel base covering the distributor for ideal service and backwash flow distribution.
CFMM Multi-Media Filters - Petwa® multi-media filters are an advanced type of filter to deal with removing silt,
turbidity, suspended matter and rust particles within the range of 15 - 20 microns. Multi-media filter media beds
are supported by a layered gravel base covering the distributor for ideal service and backwash flow distribution.
The active filtering media consists of layered garnet sands, filter sand and anthracite to provide effective filtration,
while allowing higher service flow rates with a smaller pressure drop than a conventional sand filter.The layered
medias also provide a greater holding capacity due to better depth filtration.
CFAC Activated Carbon Filters - Petwa® activated carbon filters are used for the adsorption of undesirable
tastes and odours in water caused by dissolved or suspended organic matter. Activated carbon can also be used
for the removal of chlorine.Applications include pretreatment for reverse osmosis systems and food and beverage
equipment. The activated carbon media is supported by a layered gravel base covering the distributor for ideal
service and backwash flow distribution.
CFMG Manganese Greensand Filters - Petwa® manganese greensand filters are used for the oxidation and
filtration of dissolved iron, manganese and hydrogen sulfide gas from water.This is accomplished by the use of a
continuous regeneration process, where a solution of potassium permanganate is fed upstream with a chemical
feed pump.The filter bed is also supplemented by a layer of anthracite which provides an initial coarser filtration
prior to the manganese greensand media, finally supported by a layered gravel base covering the distributor for
ideal service and backwash flow distribution.

AquaMatic® Diaphragm Valves
The AquaMatic Y pattern diaphragm valve, with
large seat opening and high lift disc, permits
greater flows at lower pressure loss than any
comparable valve. Positive control action is
achieved, either hydraulically or pneumatically,
without the aid of springs. And, components are
serviceable while the valve is in line.These valves
are available in both metal and thermoplastic
materials, and are ideal for fluid treatments and
handling systems.
• Positive control
Separate flow control chambers permit positive closing without springs; and only nominal cost for spring assist
opening for low pressure and self-draining considerations.
• Cost effective
Both initially and in lifetime maintenance.
• Durable
Cast iron, brass, bronze, stainless steel, and engineering thermoplastic components. Average maintenance-free
life of three to five years and longer dependent upon cycling rate and environment.
The diaphragm valves are available in both metal and thermoplastic materials - each with a variety of design
configurations and features that meet hundreds of fluid property and control requirements:
Standard, metal body valves • High pressure valves • Standard, plastic body valves • Solenoid operated valves
• Float operated valves • High temperature valves (Isolated bonnet) • Fail-safe close valves
