AQUAFORCE AQ-SF1054-F117Q3-T70
AQUAFORCE AQ-SF1054-F117Q3-T70 Water Softening
Column with Electronic Valve
General Description
The AQUAFORCE AQ-SF1054-F117Q3-T70 filter column with an electronic control valve is a fully automated system for softening tap water in homes, cottages, and small commercial facilities. It effectively combats water hardness by removing calcium and magnesium ions, which are the cause of scale, mineral deposits, and the premature failure of household appliances. Thanks to its compact size, the column is ideal for installation in limited spaces.
Principle of Operation
The system operates on the principle of ion exchange. Inside the filter housing is a special ion-exchange resin (cationite). Hard water, as it passes through the resin layer, leaves its calcium (Ca^{2+}) and magnesium (Mg^{2+}) ions behind and receives safe sodium (Na^+) ions in return, which do not form scale.
The key element of the system is the electronic control valve. It completely automates the process, acting as the "brain" of the unit:
- Service Mode: The valve directs water into the column for softening.
- Regeneration: When the resin's capacity is exhausted, the valve initiates an automatic regeneration cycle. It sequentially backwashes the resin with water, draws a salt solution (brine) from a special tank to restore the resin's properties, and then rinses it with clean water, removing excess salt and accumulated impurities.
The control valve can be programmed to regenerate by volume (after a specific amount of water has been purified) or by time (after a set interval), making the system maximally efficient and economical.
Key Features
- Column Dimensions: 10 inches (diameter) x 54 inches (height).
- Control Type: Electronic automatic valve.
- Housing Material: High-strength fiberglass, resistant to corrosion and high pressure.
- Filter Media: High-quality ion-exchange resin.
- Regeneration Type: Fully automatic, programmable by volume or time.
- Performance: Designed for effective water softening for a family of 2-4 people.
Advantages
- Full Automation: Requires no constant monitoring or manual intervention. You only need to add salt to the brine tank in a timely manner.
- Cost-Effectiveness: Thanks to the automatic capacity calculation, the system consumes salt only when truly necessary, which significantly reduces operating costs.
- Appliance Protection: Prevents the formation of scale on the heating elements of washing machines, dishwashers, boilers, and kettles, extending their lifespan and reducing electricity consumption.
- Improved Quality of Life: Soft water makes skin and hair feel gentler, and the use of soap, shampoos, and detergents becomes more effective.
- Versatility: The column is suitable for purifying both city water and well water.
