Water softening is an inexpensive method for improving a home's
water quality and preventing costly plumbing repairs. Water
softeners are low-maintenance and have a useful working life of 7 to
10 years before needing replacement. There are only two primary
conditions that cause water softeners problems and result in
inefficiency: Cation fouling by iron and manganese; or Organically
fouling by organics such as sulphur, tannin or humic acids.
Resin Rescue is a water softener cleaner that implements a unique blend of
environmentally friendly ingredients formulated to remove iron and organic
compounds. The combination of the active ingredients removes the impurities
and the surfactant allows those impurities to flow to drain, effectively
cleaning the resin bed. Recommended for use every 4 to 6 months as a water
softener resin cleaner. Simply add RR to the salt tank, wash in with extra
water, watch it foam up, then manually regenerate the system
Over
time Ion exchange resins can become polluted or contaminated with suspended
solids, slime, bacteria, and numerous organic or microbiological matter.
Precipitations can occur as a result of pH changes, and/or concentrations of
relatively insoluble salts. Adsorption or ion exchange of other species is
not easily removed by normal regeneration procedures and can cause gradual
performance losses due to accumulation and fouling of the resin sites. Iron
and organic build up on the ion exchange resin is the most common type of
fouling.
Regular cleaning treatments can prevent accumulation and severity of
fouling conditions, which will extend the resin life appreciably. The
importance of regular cleaning operations cannot be overestimated or
overstated. Resin Rescue is formulated to penetrate into the pores of
the resin to loosen and wash away built up impurities. This process
keeps the softener components and control valve clean. Your water has NO
HARSH SMELL, now or later, like you may find with CRC or other citric
based resin cleaners. RESIN RESCUE IS A WATER CONDITIONER RESIN CLEANER
