Description
Introducing our top-of-the-line Grain Softener - a game-changer in water treatment solutions! Crafted with precision by Nelsen Water Treatment Solutions, this advanced system boasts cutting-edge features that deliver outstanding water softening performance.
The star of the show is the Twin Tank meter valve, a true powerhouse in the water softening world. With its intelligent design, it ensures a continuous supply of soft water, no matter the demand. Say goodbye to downtime during regeneration, as one tank works while the other regenerates, providing uninterrupted soft water flow.
The black polyglass mineral tanks are not only durable but also carefully engineered to maximize softening efficiency. Paired with basket distributors, the water is perfectly distributed through the resin, ensuring thorough and consistent softening results.
Enjoy the luxury of silky-smooth water that feels incredible on your skin and prevents limescale buildup in your appliances. Our Grain Softener utilizes standard mesh resin, effectively removing hardness minerals, giving you water that’s gentle on everything it touches.
For your convenience, we’ve included a bypass valve, allowing you to divert water when necessary. Installation and operation are a breeze, thanks to our user-friendly design.

Understanding Hard Water
Definition of Hard Water
Hard water contains high levels of dissolved minerals, primarily calcium and magnesium. These minerals can cause a range of problems in plumbing, appliances, and even on your skin and hair.
Problems Caused by Hard Water
Hard water can lead to several issues in your home or business:
• Limescale Buildup: Deposits in pipes and appliances, reducing efficiency and lifespan.
• Skin and Hair Problems: Can cause dryness and irritation.
• Laundry Issues: Makes detergents less effective, leaving clothes dull and stiff.
• Increased Energy Bills: Scale buildup in water heaters can increase energy consumption.
Benefits of Water Softening
Implementing a water softening system like the Nelsen Signature Series offers numerous benefits:
• Extended Appliance Life: Prevents limescale buildup, prolonging the life of water-using appliances.
• Improved Skin and Hair Health: Softer water is gentler on skin and hair.
• Enhanced Cleaning Efficiency: Soaps and detergents work better, resulting in cleaner dishes and laundry.
• Energy Savings: Reduces the energy required to heat water.
How the Twin Alternating Water Softener Works
Twin Alternating System Explained
The twin alternating water softener system consists of two resin tanks that operate alternately. While one tank is in service, providing soft water, the other tank is regenerating. This ensures a continuous supply of soft water without interruption.
Ion Exchange Process
The core of the water softening process is ion exchange. In this process, water passes through a resin bed where calcium and magnesium ions are exchanged for sodium ions, effectively softening the water.
Regeneration Cycle
The regeneration cycle is crucial for maintaining the efficiency of the water softener:
• Backwashing: The system reverses the flow of water to clean the resin bed.
• Brine Draw: Saltwater from the brine tank is drawn into the resin tank to recharge the resin beads.
• Rinse: The system rinses out the excess brine and hardness ions.
• Refill: The brine tank is refilled with water to dissolve the salt for the next regeneration cycle.
Installation Process
Pre-installation Considerations
Before installing the Nelsen Signature Series Water Softener, consider the following:
• Water Test: Determine the hardness level of your water.
• Location: Choose a location near your main water supply and a drain.
• Space: Ensure there is adequate space for the system and access for maintenance.
Step-by-Step Installation Guide
1. Shut Off Water Supply: Turn off the main water supply and drain the system.
2. Install Bypass Valve: Attach the bypass valve to the water softener.
3. Connect Plumbing: Use appropriate fittings to connect the water softener to your home’s plumbing.
4. Install Drain Line: Run a drain line from the softener to an appropriate drain.
5. Add Salt to Brine Tank: Fill the brine tank with salt.
6. Program the System: Set up the control unit according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
7. Turn On Water Supply: Slowly turn on the water supply and check for leaks.
Professional vs. DIY Installation
While DIY installation can save money, professional installation ensures the system is set up correctly and efficiently. Professionals can also provide valuable advice on maintaining your water softener.
Maintenance and Care
Routine Maintenance Tips
Regular maintenance is essential for the optimal performance of your water softener:
• Check Salt Levels: Regularly check and replenish the salt in the brine tank.
• Clean Brine Tank: Periodically clean the brine tank to prevent salt buildup.
• Inspect Resin Bed: Monitor the resin bed and clean it if necessary.
• Regularly Program Checks: Ensure the system settings are correct and update them as needed.
