Water Softener – TULSION® T-42 Na

Overview of Water Softener – TULSION® T-42 Na

The TULSION® T-42 Na water softener is a high-performance solution designed to efficiently treat hard water. It operates at a maximum temperature of 140°C (280°F) in its sodium (Na⁺) form. This capability makes it suitable for various industrial and commercial applications. Additionally, the softener features a resin bed depth of at least 600 mm (24”), ensuring consistent ion exchange capacity and reliable water softening.

Key Specifications and Operation

This water softener supports a maximum service flow rate of 120 m³/hr/m³ (15 gpm/ft³). Such capacity enables it to handle large water volumes efficiently. The backwash expansion space ranges from 40 to 75%, allowing effective resin cleaning. For 40–70% expansion, the recommended backwash flow rate lies between 9 to 25 m³/hr/m² (4 to 10 gpm/ft²). Moreover, it uses sodium chloride (NaCl) as the regenerant in the Na⁺ form. The regeneration level ranges from 60 to 160 g NaCl/l (3.7 to 1.0 lbs HCl/ft³), while the regenerant concentration varies between 5.0% and 15.0% NaCl. Finally, the regenerant flow rate is adjustable from 2 to 16 m³/hr/m³ (0.25 to 2 gpm/ft³), optimizing resin regeneration.

Efficient Regeneration and Rinsing

Regeneration lasts from 20 to 60 minutes, depending on water hardness and system requirements. The rinse flow rate varies: slow rinsing uses the regeneration flow rate, while fast rinsing matches the service flow rate. The rinse volume ranges between 3 to 5 m³/m³ (25 to 40 gal/ft³), which ensures thorough cleaning of the resin bed. Consequently, the resin maintains optimal performance and longevity. This regeneration process helps maintain reliable and efficient water softening over time.

In summary, the TULSION® T-42 Na water softener delivers reliable and efficient performance for industrial water treatment needs. Its robust design allows operation at high temperatures up to 140°C, ensuring durability under demanding conditions. With flexible regeneration and rinsing options, it adapts to various water hardness levels and flow rates. This versatility, combined with its high capacity and effective ion exchange resin, makes the TULSION® T-42 Na an excellent choice for consistent and long-lasting water softening solutions.
