Softening the Effects of Hard Water

The effects of hard water can be harmful to you and your family’s way of life. And the problems are as costly as they are frustrating and distasteful. With hard water, your water-using appliances work harder and less efficiently.

Your clothes rarely seem to be as soft as they should be, even though you’re using more detergent. And your dishes never quite seem to look or feel “squeaky clean.” Unfortunately, many homeowners live with the problems of hard water, day after day, because they don’t know there are affordable and effective options.

Let Dutch Enterprises help you solve these dilemmas with a Braswell Water Quality System. The revolutionary Braswell systems have many features that put them above the rest. A Braswell system features counter-current regeneration which eliminates hard-water leakage, improves soft-water quality, conserves water and is more econmical to operate.

100% PURE BRINE

Full-strength brine provides the most effective cleaning method for cation resin. Other water softeners dilute the brine making them less effective. Our systems use soft water to make brine and work with either salt or potassum.

COUNTER-CURRENT REGENERATION

Reversing the flow during backwash flushes the contaminants out the way they came in. This prevents fouling and extends the life of the resin bed.

VACUUM

The vacuum we use degasifies the resin bed removing many odors that may occur.

LESS SALT

During regeneration, Braswell systems need one-third as much salt and half as much water as other systems.

PRECISION CONTROLLERS

Braswell’s precise, high-performance electronic controllers are easy to program, maximizing the efficiency.

SOFT WATER RINSE

Braswell uses only soft water during backwash which improves product water quality. Extends the life of the softener.

DEMAND REGENERATION

Braswell systems are demand or time initiated to save you money, water and salt.

24 HOUR SERVICE

Braswell systems work 24 hours a day with un-uterrupted service. With our twin tank systems regeneration doesn’t stop the flow of soft water.


What is Hard Water?

Hard water consists of Calcium and Magnesium. These are the substances that build-up in tubs and showers and many other fixtures. Hard water is harmful to you and your family’s way of life.

What is regeneration?
Regeneration is the process used to refuel the the water softener. Salt is drawn from the brine tank and used as a fuel to recharge the resin in the resin tank.

Are water softeners harmful to septic tanks?
No. There are many studies that indicate that water softeners are actually beneficial to septic tanks.

What is demand?
Demand means your water softener will work off the amount of water you use. It will only refuel when a set amount of gallons flow through it.
