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
(Note: for high volume households, use 75 gallons per day the cubic feet of resin per water softener from a low
per person). of 30 gallons of water per cubic foot, up to a normal
of 75 gallons of water per cubic foot, to a maximum of
Hardness Compensation 100 gallons of water per cubic foot. Manufacturing
• 1 mg/l of iron = 4 gpg specs and settings for each model size should be
• 1 mg/l of manganese = 8 gpg checked to verify exact amounts.
• Maximum iron is not to exceed 1.5 mg/l total iron
• Recommend the addition of a Res-Up Feeder when Three Day Sizing Method
the total iron exceeds 0.5 mg/l The three day sizing method is used for the
following reasons:

1.To determine the size of the water conditioner to be


used
2.To allow for reserve capacity between regenerations
so the customer does not run out of soft water
3.To provide the most economical operation cost

Sediment Filters

These water filters use a variety of filtering medias such as FilterAg™,


nextSand™ and a mixed media. The systems are used to remove
suspended particulates like clay, silt or oxidized iron from chlorinated
systems.These filters will trap sediment, eliminating the particulates that
can give water a cloudy appearance.
A thorough backwash prevents the bed from chanelling or locking up and
extends the filter bed life.

Adapters available in:


• 3/4” and 1” Copper
• 3/4” and 1” PVC
• 90° ABS Elbows

Iron Filters

Manganese Greensand Plus Iron Filters


For use when you have high levels of iron, hydrogen sulphide and
manganese. Manganese Greensand Plus media is used, combined with a
regenerate of potassium permanganate which oxidizes the iron to a form
that can be filtered and washed away. Regeneration is required with
potassium permanganate.

Chemical Free Iron Filters


The system injects air to oxidize ferrous (clear water) iron and the filter
bed traps the sediment and filters it from your water.
The Ultra Iron works very well on moderate levels of iron and
manganese. The unit is very economical since it needs no chemicals to
regenerate and has low attrition loss. It is not suited for H2S applications.

The Chemical Free Iron


Filters use a 1” air injector
to help with oxidation. For
superior oxidation an Air
Pump can be added with
air tank.

Note: Potassium Permanganate Feeder available with Air Pump and

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.

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.

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.

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.

56
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.

Centaur® 12 x 40
CENTAUR 12x40 is a liquid phase virgin activated carbon that has been manufactured to develop catalytic
functionality. The product is unique in that it concentrates reactants via adsorption and then promotes their
reaction on the surface of the pores. CENTAUR 12x40 is produced from bituminous coal using a patented
process. Although it is not impregnated with metals or alkali, it displays the catalytic functionality of these
materials. In most cases, it can be reactivated and does not present the disposal concerns associated with
impregnated carbons.

Applications
CENTAUR 12x40 can be utilized in the liquid phase for the promotion of oxidation, reduction, decomposition,
substitution, and elimination reactions. Specific applications include chloramines, hydrogen sulphide, and iron
removal from drinking water.This product is particularly suited for use in residential and commercial water filters,
for treatment of process water in the bottling and soft drink industries, and for aquarium water treatment.
CENTAUR 12x40 combines a fine pore structure for enhanced adsorption of trace contaminants with high
catalytic activity for their elimination. Thermal reactivation is an option for recycle and reuse of this product to
minimize operating costs and eliminate disposal concerns.

Design Considerations
CENTAUR 12x40 is intended primarily for use in liquid phase systems to promote catalytic reactions. Depending
on the reactant concentrations, the required contact times are usually less than five minutes.The backwashed and
drained density of the product is typically 33 lb/ft3.

Potassium Permanganate Feeder
Potassium Permanganate Feeder Assembly incorporates a non-pressurized storage tank and innovative grid design
along with our dependable 464 float valve. The attractive 10” x 16” tank is made of tough blow molded high
density polyethylene, and contains an ultraviolet inhibitor (UVI) for increased resistance to sunlight.* It has a
Potassium Permanganate capacity of 30 pounds and a liquid capacity of five gallons. Feeders are available in blue,
almond, or black (standard) and can be ordered in two, four, or six ounce delivery capacities.

The black injection molded cover is securely fastened with three stainless steel safety screws to prevent access
by children and pets. (As with all chemicals, the potassium permanganate chemical tank should be placed safely
away from children or pets). Chemical warning and drain caution labels are affixed to the unit.

The unique polypropylene felt grid pad retains even the finest grade of undissolved Potassium Permanganate above
the grid.This permits efficient use of our assembly with all grades of Potassium Permanganate.Two and four ounce
feeders have a grid platform height of 5-3/4 inches. Six ounce feeders have a grid platform height of 7-5/8 inches.
The unit is shipped fully tested and assembled in individual cartons. Shipping weight is seven pounds. Please consult
the factory for further information.

Iron and Manganese Removal:


A recommended dose of 1-1/2 - 2 ounces of
Potassium Permanganate per cubic foot of MTM or
Manganese Greensand is suggested for regeneration.
Correct water temperature is important to properly
dissolve Potassium Permanganate. At 50°F (10°C)
four ounces of Potassium Permanganate can dissolve
in one gallon of water.At room temperatures (72°F -
22°C) eight ounces will dissolve in one gallon of
water.

For further information please contact customer


service.

What can I do about iron stains?


To determine the correct method of removal, it is
important to know which type of iron is present.
Soluble Iron - also known as ferrous iron or clear-
water iron - is clear in running water but will settle
to the bottom as black or rust-colored particles
when it is allowed to stand. When it contacts air, it
may precipitate and stain. Soluble iron cannot be
filtered out but may be reduced with a cation-
exchange water softener.
Insoluble Iron - also known as ferric iron or visible
iron - is suspended in water and is clearly visible as
“rusty” water. You should be able to see small black
or rust-colored particles in your water as soon as it
comes out of your tap before you’ve allowed it to sit.
Insoluble iron may be reduced with a sediment filter.
If you have a water softener, be sure to place the
sediment filter before the water softener.

ST Series Stainless Steel Filter Housings

• Heavy duty units for smaller filtration systems and point-of-use


applications.
• Brushed 304 Stainless Steel sump with a cast brass/nickel plated head.
• Ideal for high pressure/hot water applications.
• Accepts complete range of standard double open end (DOE) cartridges.
ST Series stainless steel filter housings effectively provide heavy-duty
filtration for smaller filtration systems and point-of-use applications.
Supplying flow rates of up to 20 gpm (76 L/min), at a maximum water
temperature of 300°F (149°C). ST Series are ideal for hot water and high-
pressure applications not suited for plastic housings. The brushed 304
stainless steel sumps are available with either a pipe plug or pet-cock in
the bottom for draining. Heads are manufactured from nickel-plated cast-
brass.
ST Series housings are easy to install and maintain. They are compatible
with a complete range of filter cartridges, adding to their versatility.
The Model ST-1 is a single cartridge filter ideal for filtering water at a flow
rate not exceeding 10 U.S. GPM (depending on cartridge selection). ST-1
The Model ST-2 is identical to the ST-1, but requires two 9-3/4” (248mm) ST-2
cartridges or one 19-1/2” (495mm) cartridge to provide higher capacity
for longer operations of the filter between cartridge change-over. ST-3
The Model ST-3 is again identical to the ST-1 and ST-2 with even higher
flow rate and greater dirt holding capacity than the ST-1 or ST-2. Requires
three 9-3/4” (248mm) cartridges or one 29-1/4” (743mm) cartridge.

micron cartridge. FloPlus-20
This product boasts extremely low pressure drops and high flow rates –
comparable to 10-micron (very open) carbon cartridges. Its efficiency is so
high that a 0.5 micron rating is possible, which means that cysts and very
small particles can be removed to create cleaner, safer water.
This product is ideal for applications where pressure drop and low flow
have been chronic problems in the past, as well as whole house water
treatment with the addition of cyst reduction. However, it will address the
needs of any end user looking for a product that offers high flow, low
pressure drop, infrequent cartridge changes and cyst-free water.

Chloramine Reduction Carbon Cartridges

• Utilizes advanced activated carbon technology which results in excellent chloramine


as well as superior chlorine reduction.
• CRFC20BB Radial Flow Cartridge.
• CGAC-10 Granular Activated Carbon Cartridge.
• ChlorPlus Series Carbon Briquette Cartridges.
PENTEK® offers three different product solutions for chloramine reduction.
Chloramine is increasingly becoming more common as an alternative to chlorine for
water treatment.
The CGAC-10 cartridge utilizes traditional granular activated carbon and is used for
basic applications where chloramine must be removed. The construction of this
cartridge allows water to pass evenly over a large bed of carbon while minimizing
channeling or bypass.
The ChlorPlus™ carbon block cartridges will help reduce sediment while providing
greater chloramine performance capacities than granular carbon.They will also signifi-
cantly reduce the carbon fines found in many granular canisters.
The CRFC20-BB heavy duty radial flow cartridge measures 4-1/2” in diameter and 20”
long which is ideal for higher flow rate and capacity applications.This cartridge incorpo- CRFC-20BB ChlorPlus 20
rates a 70 micron porous polypropylene outer shell and a spun polypropylene-wrapped CGAC-10
core.The bed of granular activated carbon (GAC) between the outer shell and core creates a unique radial flow design which
effectively removes chloramine, has a low pressure drop, and helps to reduce fines commonly seen in GAC style cartridges.
All three products utilize advanced activated carbon technology which allows excellent chloramine reduction as well as
superior chlorine reduction. The variety of sizes and capacities offered by PENTEK chloramine reduction cartridges make
them ideal solutions for both point-of-entry (POE) and point-of-use (POU) applications.

RFC Series Radial Flow Carbon Cartridges

• Provides effective chlorine taste & odor reduction.*


• BB cartridges are ideal for point-of-entry (POE) and other high flow
rate applications.
• Unique design reduces carbon fines in filtered water.
• Available in a wide variety of sizes.
RFC Series cartridges are constructed with a 70-micron porous poly-
ethylene outer shell and durable polypropylene end caps.The 2-3/4”
OD cartridges have a polypropylene core and the 4-1/2” OD
cartridges incorporate a spun polypropylene core. Sandwiched between
the outer shell and the core is a bed of granular activated carbon
(GAC).
The unique radial flow design offers the benefits of granular activated
carbon (GAC) filtration, such as low pressure drop, while at the same
time significantly reducing the release of carbon fines commonly
associated with GAC style cartridges.
RFC Series cartridges are available in a wide variety of sizes and are
ideal point-of-entry (POE) and other high flow rate applications.

DGD Series Dual-Gradient Density Cartridges

• Manufactured from 100% pure polypropylene.


• Designed for purity and chemical compatibility.
• Two separate gradient density layers enhance cartridge performance.
• Three times the dirt-holding capacity of similar sized sediment cartridges.
DGD Series cartridges are manufactured from 100% pure polypropylene and are
sized for use in our Big Blue® filter housings.
DGD Series cartridges are designed for purity and will not impart taste, odor or
color to the liquid being filtered. Additionally, the polypropylene construction
provides superior chemical resistance and is not prone to bacterial attack.
The DGD Series advanced design combines selective “final filtration” with
appropriate “pre-filtration” to achieve up to three times the dirt-holding capacity
of similar size sediment cartridges and many more times that of standard spun
or string-wound cartridges. This performance enhancement is achieved by
combining two separate gradient layers in one filter.
The larger diameter of the pre-filter reduces the particle load to the post filter,
allowing it to operate at higher velocities. The effective filter depth is increased
to a full 233% of standard spun-polypropylene or string-wound filters. This
increased depth provides for very high particulate reduction efficiencies and
added loaded capacity.
DGD-2501-20
The unique design and performance characteristics of the DGD Series cartridges DGD-5005-20 DGD-2501
make them an excellent choice for all residential, rural, municipal and commercial DGD-7525-20 DGD-5005
applications. DGD-7525

BP Series (Polypropylene Felt) Bags
An assortment of filtration ratings is offered - from 1 to 200
microns - to comply with any filtration requirement.
The bags are manufactured from felt because of its high
solids loading capabilities, in comparison to similar mesh
fabrics. The media is created by needle-punching two layers
of synthetic fibers together in a supporting scrim. A glazed
finish, created by melting the outermost surface fibers, is
used to produce a bond that reduces the possibility of
migration.

High efficiency bags are offered for those critical applications
when high efficiency combined with high dirt-holding
capacity is required. Polypropylene materials are processed
into microfibers with diameters of 1-10 microns or more. BN-410
These fibers are converted into filter material. Microfiber BP-410 BPHE-410

• > 98% reduction of 0.025 micron (25 nanometer) particles.*
• > 99.99% (> 4 Log) reduction of 0.065 micron (65 nanometer) particles.*
• Forward-flush and back-flush cleaning cycles provide extended filter life in a wide range of
applications.
• Proprietary hollow-fiber ultrafiltration membrane.
• Professional-grade housing, controller and flush valve.
• Metered self-cleaning cycle flushes only when needed.
• Day override feature flushes module daily with fresh water when system is not in use.
• Peak flow rates up to 10 gpm (2271 L/h).
*Performance based on MS-2 (25 nm) and PRD-1 (65 nm) virus particle tests. Data available upon request.

The PENTEK® Freshpoint™ Ultrafiltration System provides complete point-of-entry (POE)


filtration proven to reduce turbidity, particulates and cysts for safer, cleaner water at every tap.
The system employs hollow-fiber Ultrafiltration membrane technology to filter impurities as
small as 0.025 microns.
To maximize membrane capacity and service life, a metered flushing cycle is controlled using
an advanced controller and high-performance turbine meter. The self-cleaning forward and
back-flush cycles are initiated when the programmed capacity of the membrane is reached.
During the backwash, flow is reversed and particles are ejected from the pores of the
membrane and flushed to drain. In the forward- flush cycle, service water passes through the
capillaries at a high speed, scouring particles from the membrane surface and rinsing them from
the system. Since power is only required to flush the system, outages and interruptions will not
jeopardize the integrity of membrane or its ability to provide safer, cleaner water.
The advanced electronic controller provides a programmable day override which allows the
unit to flush every day with fresh water when the system is not in use. Critical system
diagnostics, including totalized flow, instantaneous flow rate, and previous days water usage, are
available to optimize flushing cycles and monitor performance.
The high-performance industrial fiberglass housing is pressure rated to 300 psi. Inside the
housing, the membrane is sealed with double radial o-rings, minimizing the potential for leak
paths. Quick-connect end caps allow the membrane to easily be removed for cleaning or
replacement.
The system can be applied to solve “known” water problems including high turbidity, suspended
solids, and certain microbiological contaminants. It can also serve as a flushable prefilter to
extend the life of media filters downstream.

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.

Stenner Peristaltic Chemical Feed Pumps
Stenner Classic Series
Series 45 & 85 Single Head
Adjustable Rate
Stenner feeders are self-priming and the 3-point roller
assembly provides a positive 2-point seal on the tube

not right either.” ppm should be obtained

Sizing the Chemical Feeder Pump Procedure:


Need to know: • Add 3 drops chlorine to the gallon of raw water
Chlorine demand for water treatment • Allow to stand for 5 minutes
• Test water with the chlorine test kit
To do a chlorine demand test (should be performed on- • If no chlorine residual is indicated, add more drops in

• 1 gallon of fresh raw water obtained
• Sample of chlorine which will be used in the system • Measure the pumping rate of the pump system
• Chlorine test kit • Multiply the pumping rate by the number of drops of
chlorine required.This will equal the number of drops
of chlorine required per minute

Example: 26 drops required


x 6 gpm pumping rate
= 156 drops per minute
x 60 minutes per hour
= 9,360 drops per hour
÷ 75,000 drops per gallon
= 0.125 gallons of chlorine per hour

Sizing the Chlorinator

Select a chlorinator which will run at approximately 30-80% injection.

Most chlorinators will inject more than required.Therefore, dilute the chlorine with “clean” treated soft water to obtain
the quantity required versus the pump’s efficient setting.

Example: 0.125 gallons of chlorine required per hour


The pump selected will inject 1.0 gallons per hour
1.0 maximum output of chemical feed pump
÷ 50% optimum pump setting
= .5 gallons per hour
÷ 0.125 gallons per hour required
= 4 This is your dilution ratio - 4:1

Dry Pellet Chlorination

Advantages of Dry Pellet Chlorination


• Safe, EPA-approved chlorine chemical.
• Easy-to-handle, economical, reliable and highly concentrated – treats water problems at the source.
• Longer lasting than liquid chlorine – chlorinates evenly through the well and is impervious to freezing temperatures,
with reduced fumes, no hazardous spillage and no chemical loss due to evaporation.
• Eliminates the need for costly, space consuming retention tank in most cases.
• Reduces iron bacteria and clogged well pumps, iron-stained sinks and appliances, bad water taste and rotten egg smell,
hydrogen sulfide, slime buildup in the well, black water and algae.

Autotrol Brand Well Sanitizer™ Pellets


Autotrol Well Sanitizer pellets are safe, convenient and highly concentrated, providing an effective alternative to the
hazards of liquid chlorination. Semi-soft and fast dissolving,Well Sanitizer pellets are small enough to pass through small
restrictions in the well, yet they deliver powerful chemical action that sanitizes the entire water capacity within the well.
• Perfect for shock treating wells after service.
• 70% concentration for powerful chemical action.
• Lasts longer than liquid chlorine.
• Effectively chlorinates the entire well water column.
• Helps eliminate residue buildup on pumps, on well casings below the water line and
in pipelines throughout the water delivery system.
• Small pellets for easy handling eliminates splashing and staining of clothing or skin
irritation.
• EPA-registered specifically for treating potable water (reg. No 50510-1).

Commercial Products
Now is the time to look into the commercial equipment market. One of
the largest growth areas in the water treatment industry is the commercial
equipment.

This doesn’t need to be complicated, with the addition of the Logix


controllers to the Magnum valve, you really are just installing a bigger
residential unit.

Commercial businesses are realizing the benefits of treated water and the
savings to both water and equipment maintenance by having the equipment
in line.

There are many opportunities for commercial equipment such as:


• Hotels / Motels
• Restaurants
• Car/Truck Washes
• Schools
• Laundromats
• Hospitals
• Professional Offices
• Livestock Operations
• Manufacturing Plants, just to name a few.

Petwa will make the transition into the commercial market an easy one.

• The application of commercial softeners, filters, dealkalizers, UV’s and


Reverse Osmosis units is not that different from household applications.
• Our product line uses the same timers that our household application
use, so not much difference.
• Petwa has an excellent sales team and technical support to assist you with
sizing equipment, choosing the correct system, reviewing water analysis
and providing technical support and training when you need it.

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.

Equipment Options: Features:


• 762F meter initiated control with turbine. • Dependable Autotrol Magnum IT Series Valves.
• 742F clock control with 0 - 99 day programming. • Fiberglass mineral tanks.
• Brass MNPT adapters or CPVC socket weld adapters. • PVC hub and lateral distributors with riser tube.

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.

Features and Options


• Lowest pressure loss
Y pattern permits higher flows at lower pressure
loss than any comparable valve.

• 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.

• Extended diaphragm life


Separate chamber protects diaphragm from flow stream; allows replacement without disrupting service.
Performed, stress-relieved diaphragm minimizes fatigue, maximizes valve responsiveness and diaphragm lifetime.

• 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.

• Design/application engineering service


• Optional seal and diaphragm materials for special applications
