Hard Water can be a havoc for your house as it will create scaling and whitish residue on Taps, inside pipe lines and will make your hair and skin frizzy and dry. Using hard water for a longer time can permanently damage hairs and you might suffer of hair loss too.
The simple and crisp solution to all these problems is a Water Softener. A Water Softener is a machine that converts Hard Water instantly into Soft Water for using it in whole house. Choosing a perfect water softener can be tricky and stress for you. Here is a simple point to point guide that will help you choose a better water softener for your family.
Size & Regeneration Cycle
Water Softeners are readily available in market in different sizes. By size we mean the amount of Resin Beads available in it. The simple rule is more the resin quantity, more the amount of soft water the machine will make in one regeneration cycle.
A Regeneration Cycle is a cleaning process that occurs in all Water Softeners after making certain amount of water soft. That means if the resin quantity is more, the machine will undergo regeneration after longer time.
A good regeneration cycle is 10 days as per experts for residential use. For this you will need a water softener that can provide 10 times of your daily consumption of soft water per regeneration cycle. Here is how you can calculate it on your own by this simple formula.
50 X Resin Quantity in Litre / Raw Water Hardness in Mg/L = Amount of Water X 1000 [Litres]
This Formula will give you amount of soft water that can be made by the Water Softener for certain quantity of resin beads. You can simply check wether it is 10 times or not your daily average water use. A 10 Days regeneration cycle is sure to optimise the water wastage and salt use during regeneration and Resin Beads will also offer you better life cycle.
Manual Water Softener VS Automatic Water Softener
A Water Softener can be Manual or Automatic. A Manual Water Softener needs to be regenerated by operating its Manual Multiport Valve. If you choose a Manual Water Softener, be ready to spare enough time for its regeneration. Also in a Manual Water Softener, you will have to keep check on the used amount of water and plan to regenerate the machine accordingly. Some skills may also be required as any regeneration process is comprised of four main steps vide Backwash, Brine Suction, Rinse and Brine Refill.
Nothing can be as wonderful as an Automatic Water Softener. Sit back and relax and the automatic water softener will be at your service 24X7. An Automatic Water Softener has a Pre Programmed Digital Multiport Valve that itself calculates amount of soft water it has made and after certain amount of water has been made soft, the Multiport Valve puts Water Softener into regeneration cycle automatically. All the 4 processes like Backwash, Brine Suction, Rinse and Brine Refill are performed itself by the machine and all you have is soft water to use.
Water Softener Protection
Since a Water Softener is a machine that is placed near overhead storage tanks in their inlet line, they are mostly installed open to sky. It is very important to choose a Water Softener that offers protection against Sun, Dust and Rain. Specially when it comes to automatic water softeners, there are a few electric instruments those cannot be left open as Rain Water can make it faulty.
Purity Hub's Automatic Water Softeners are 100% Rain, Sun and Dust Protected. It uses special covers for Multiport Valve, Regeneration Motor and even the electric supply adopter of it is kept inside a protective case for 100% peace of mind and protection.
Many Water Softener in Automatic Category does not offer sufficient protection that lowers the efficiency of the whole unit and increases risk of unusual maintenance cost.
Normal Efficiency VS High Efficiency
Water Softeners readily available in market are usually normal efficiency water softener. Normal efficiency does not mean they will not soften the water but they tend to use more salt and water during regeneration.
Whereas, High Efficiency Water Softener such as Purity Hub Water Softeners uses a custom designed Resin that uses lesser salt and water during regeneration. Also, this resin tends to offer much more life than normal resins due to their high cross linkage factor.
Automation
Ask yourself wither the Automatic Water Softener is really automatic? The answer might be a "Big NO". An automatic water softener might face many different situations during its operation. There is a strong possibility of a situation when there is no sufficient water during softeners regeneration or someone might have turned off the sump motor when the softener was under regeneration. Can the automatic water softener take healthy decision of what to do under these conditions? Most automatic water softeners performs their regeneration without water because there is no water sensing has been programmed under their circuit.
Purity Hub's Automatic Water Softeners comes pre programmed with Water Sensing. If during Regeneration, their regeneration motor judges that there is no sufficient water in main tank for complete and efficient regeneration, it can automatically turn on Sump Motor for the regeneration process. Purity Hub's Smart Regeneration IC has been designed and plugged in into the Multiport Valve to avoid this chance of No water during regeneration.
Also, Purity Hub's Automatic Water Softeners uses a technology called LP BFT [Low Pressure Before Tank] that sends signals to multiport valve when there is water during regeneration or not at sufficient pressure. If water is not available at sufficient pressure, the multiport valve holds its regeneration and only starts regeneration cycle again when the water is available at required pressure.
These two technology has 100% eliminated any chances of Fake Regeneration or Inefficient Regeneration in Purity Hub's Specially Designed Automatic Water Softeners.
Warranty
Warranty is a must consideration when you are making a purchase for a Water Softener. You will get a One Year Warranty on almost all water softeners. Check with the warranty terms if they are offering warranty only on Multiport Valve or for the whole unit.
Purity Hub Automatic Water Softeners comes with end to end complete 3 Years of Warranty with absolutely no terms and conditions. That means you have the warranty for each and every part of the machine for 3 years.
