Salient Characteristics Water Softener.pdf

This document is a specification for a water softening system requirement. The salient characteristics specify a Hobart Model WS-80 or equal system designed to remove water hardness to less than ½ grains per gallon. The system features a two-tank configuration where one tank provides water while the other undergoes regeneration, enabling continuous operation without service interruption.

Key technical specifications include an adjustable water meter, top-mounted regeneration control valve operating at a minimum inlet pressure of 15 psi, and four operational cycles (service, brine draw, slow rinse, and combined fast rinse and brine refill). The control valve prevents hard water bypass during regeneration cycles. The system requires no electrical hookup and accommodates a maximum working pressure of 125 psi for media tanks. Additional features include a corrosion-resistant combination salt and brine tank with safety overflow protection, salt alarm notification, and dimensions of 28 inches height by 20 inches width by 22 inches depth. These specifications establish the minimum performance and operational requirements for the water softening system to be procured.
