Softener Tanks: Electric welded, pressure vessel quality, low carbon steel construction rated for 100 psig, and hydrostatic tested to 150 psig. Tanks Less Than 36” Diameter: Provide two handholes, one in top head and one in lower sideshell. Tanks 36” Diameter and Larger: Provide manhole in top head. Support Legs: Construct of structural steel; weld to lower tank head. Finish: Hot-dip galvanized both exterior and interior of tank after fabrication. Finish: Spray tank exterior with rust-resistant prime coat. 2-3 mils dry film thickness. Sandblast tank interior and line with epoxy coating. 8-10 mils dry film thickness. Freeboard: Provide minimum freeboard of 50% for backwash expansion above normal ion exchange mineral bed level. Upper Distribution: Provide single point baffle type upper distribution system, constructed of Schedule 40 galvanized steel pipe and fittings. Lower Distribution: Provide hub and radial arm type lower distribution system, constructed of PVC with individual fine slotted non-clogging polyethylene strainers arranged for even flow distribution through resin bed. Embed the distribution system in single layer subfill of washed 1/8” x 1/16” gravel to support resin bed. Main Operating Valve: Provide industrial automatic multi-port diaphragm type, slow opening and closing valve free of water hammer. Provide diaphragm guiding on full perimeter from full open to full shut. Isolate dissimilar metals within valve. Provide valve that requires no special tools for service. Equip valve with internal automatic self-adjusting brine injector to draw brine and rinse at constant rate independent of pressure. Provide single units with internal automatic by-pass of untreated water during regeneration. Provide soft water sampling cock on valve. Flow Control: Provide automatic flow controller to maintain proper backwash and flush rates over wide variations in operating pressures, and that requires no field adjustments. Exchange Resin: Provide high capacity exchange resin of sulfonated polystyrene, stable over entire pH range with good resistance to bead fracture from attrition or shock. Provide resin having capacity of removing 30,000 grains of hardness as calcium carbonate, per cubic foot of resin, when regenerated with 15 lb. of salt. Brine System: Provide single brine measuring and dry salt storage tank with salt platform sufficiently sized for at least four regenerations at full salting. Construct tank of 3/16” thick fiberglass or 3/8” thick rationally molded polyethylene with cover. Equip brine tank with float-operated plastic fitted brine valve for automatic control of brine withdrawn and fresh water refill. Controls: Provide microprocessor-based driven controller with integral multiported pilot control valve to initiate a backwash/regeneration sequence based on (time and/or volume user setpoints). Multiported pilot control valve shall be factory-installed and piped to the main operating valve and include a dial for both is visual indication of the system status and manual operation in the event of a power failure. Controller shall sequence all steps of an automatic regeneration and return to a “Service” or “Stand-by” mode in readiness for treated water demands. The initiating time and/or volume setpoints shall automatically reset upon initiation of a regeneration sequence. A programmable logic module, housed in a non-metallic NEMA 12 enclosure with clear hinged cover and keypad, shall include user selectable pre-programmned modes of operation for single, twin, or triple tank applications. The user selected program shall operate with manufacturer installed defaults or with user customized parameters, all of which will be retained in a non-volatile memory requiring no external power source or battery backup.
