Water Softener Plant – 1000 LPH

Product Overview

The 1000 LPH Water Softener Plant is an industrial-grade system designed to remove hardness-causing minerals such as Calcium (Ca²⁺) and Magnesium (Mg²⁺) from borewell, tube-well, and municipal water sources.

It is intended for households, apartments, or light commercial settings to:

• Prevent scale formation in pipelines, geysers, boilers, and washing machines

• Enhance soap and detergents in laundry and cleaning

• Ensure smooth water flow and reduce maintenance costs

Built around a 12×52 (1252) FRP pressure vessel, the system provides consistent softened water for appliance and piping protection, not for direct drinking or cooking. For potable water, an RO / UV / filtration system is recommended.

Key Technical Specifications

• Rated Capacity: 1000 Liters Per Hour

• FRP Vessel Size: 12×52 (1252) — designed for optimum resin bed depth

• Treatment Technology: Ion Exchange Softening (cation exchange resin)

• Resin Type: Strong-acid cation exchange resin (sodium form) for Ca²⁺ / Mg²⁺ removal

• Control Valve: Manual or automatic multiport valve

• Brine Tank: Sized for periodic salt-based regeneration

• Polishing Filter: Optional 5–10 micron cartridge filter

• Piping & Fittings: Food-grade UPVC / CPVC / MS

• Power Requirement: Pump & control panel if using automatic valves/booster pump

How It Works

1. Service Cycle: Hard water passes through the resin bed in the 1252 FRP tank. Calcium and magnesium ions are exchanged with sodium ions on the resin, producing softened water downstream.

2. Exhaustion & Regeneration: Resin becomes saturated with Ca/Mg over time. Regeneration uses a concentrated salt (NaCl) brine to restore the resin’s softening capacity. Exhausted brine is flushed out during rinse steps.

Applications & Users

• Residential houses and multi-family apartments

• Small hotels, guest houses, salons, laundries, and commercial kitchens

• Pre-treatment for boilers, heat exchangers, and RO systems (to prevent scaling)

• Light industrial applications are sensitive to hardness

Primary Benefits

• Prevents scale formation in appliances, boilers, geysers, and pipelines

• Prolongs the life of plumbing and water-using equipment

• Improves cleaning efficiency with soaps and detergents

• Reduces maintenance & operational costs

• Protects downstream water treatment units like RO membranes

Operation & Maintenance

• Regeneration frequency depends on inlet hardness, water usage, and resin volume

• Periodic salt addition (NaCl) is required for brine preparation

• Backwash and rinse cycles prevent clogging and maintain resin efficiency

• Resin life is typically 8–15 years with proper operation and pre-treatment

Design & Selection Notes

• Water Test Required: System sizing depends on hardness, TDS, iron, chlorine, etc. Lab analysis is strongly recommended.

• Iron / Manganese: Pre-treatment required if levels are above trace amounts.

• Sodium Content: Softening adds small amounts of sodium; for low-sodium requirements, potassium chloride or alternative methods should be considered.

Standard Supply Scope

• FRP Pressure Vessel (12×52 / 1252) with distributor/underdrain

• Cation exchange resin (pre-loaded)

• Brine tank with float assembly and salt grid

• Multiport control valve (manual or automatic)

• Raw water pump (if required)

• Piping, fittings, valves, base frame

• Instruction manual, commissioning support, and basic operator training

Performance Guarantee & Recommendation

• Guaranteed to reduce hardness as per the design water test if proper regeneration and maintenance are followed.
