Water Treatment Systems
Water softening and reverse osmosis solutions for your home.
Water Softeners
Water softeners are primarily used to remove calcium and magnesium ions from boiler makeup water. If not removed, these ions can be the basis for forming insoluble compounds that will precipitate in boiler systems. A water softener eliminates this problem by replacing precipitate-forming ions with sodium ions.
Since sodium-based compounds are very soluble, precipitates formed by hard water can be eliminated. In a water softener, ion exchange occurs as the water runs through a bed of small plastic resin beads which are saturated with sodium ions. As the water containing calcium and magnesium ions flows past the resin beads, calcium and magnesium ions “stick” to the ion exchange resin, liberating the sodium ions, which then go into the solution. Eventually, the resin beads contain nothing but calcium and magnesium ions and no sodium. At this point, softening no longer occurs, and hardness ions (Ca and Mg) begin to leak through the bed. When leakage occurs, or prior to the resin being exhausted, it is time to regenerate the media.
Advantage Plumbing field engineers are experts at treating and operating these and other types of softening systems.
Reverse Osmosis
Advantage Plumbing field personnel have the most experience in the industry treating industrial reverse osmosis and membrane filtration systems. Our engineers will customize a membrane cleaning program that will eliminate scale-forming constituents from your RO feedwater, keeping your system operating at peak efficiency.
Industrial reverse osmosis (RO) systems can treat virtually any feedwater if certain feedwater quality guidelines are met. Good pretreatment is necessary to remove the suspended solids, colloidal material, metals, and other contaminants and keep the RO system online and functioning well.
Advantage Plumbing has a new solution for preventing microbiological growth formation on RO membranes using aqueous chlorine dioxide.
