FAF Series Commercial Water Softeners<br />
Water hardness is responsible <strong>for</strong> many maintenance <strong>and</strong> process problems in commercial<br />
applications.<br />
<strong>Hydrotech</strong>’s FAF Series Automatic Commercial Water Softeners provide <strong>soft</strong> <strong>water</strong> to meet the<br />
dem<strong>and</strong>ing specifications of all types of <strong>business</strong>es <strong>and</strong> institutions with simple <strong>and</strong> reliable<br />
equipment.<br />
Regeneration Initiation Types Available<br />
Calendar Clock: Softener systems with calendar clock<br />
initiation are typically the least expensive. The regeneration is<br />
delayed <strong>and</strong> can be set <strong>for</strong> any time of day. Typically, twelve<br />
(12) day clocks are used so that the system can be regenerated<br />
at evenly spaced intervals of every 1, 2, 3, 4, 6 or 12 days. A<br />
7-day clock is an option.<br />
Metered or Volumetric: Although a meter initiated system is<br />
slightly more expensive than a calendar clock system, the<br />
metered system will easily pay <strong>for</strong> itself shortly in better salt<br />
<strong>and</strong> <strong>water</strong> consumption efficiencies. The meter measures the<br />
volume of <strong>water</strong> passing through the <strong>soft</strong>ener. The<br />
regeneration interval is based on the volume calculated to<br />
exhaust the <strong>soft</strong>ener's bed capacity. Meter initiated <strong>soft</strong>eners<br />
also have the greatest range of systems available. Single,<br />
duplex <strong>and</strong> triplex systems can be ordered with different<br />
operational characteristics <strong>and</strong> controllers.<br />
External Input (OPTIONAL): Some systems can be initiated<br />
with external inputs. This type of regeneration initiation<br />
typically requires an electronic controller. Co-ordination with<br />
our commercial engineering department is suggested to<br />
facilitate this special type of system.<br />
Controller Types Available<br />
Mechanical Timers: These are the most cost-effective type of<br />
control available <strong>for</strong> <strong>soft</strong>ener <strong>and</strong> filter systems. The program<br />
wheel of the timer allows adjustment of a regeneration in two<br />
minute increments by adding <strong>and</strong> removing pins which<br />
control the regeneration cycle times. Mechanical timers<br />
however are wired <strong>for</strong> one type of system only. They are not<br />
as flexible as an electronic control to change regeneration<br />
types or parameters <strong>and</strong> they cannot be changed to add<br />
future multiple units.<br />
3200ET Electronic Timer: The 3200ET is a much more<br />
in<strong>for</strong>mation orientated <strong>and</strong> user friendly control. The digital<br />
display will show the regeneration cycle it is in with the time<br />
remaining. It is easily changed to either immediate or delayed<br />
regeneration. Metered <strong>soft</strong>ener system capacity is adjusted by<br />
entering the <strong>water</strong> hardness. The volume of <strong>water</strong> remaining<br />
be<strong>for</strong>e regeneration is alternately displayed with the time of<br />
day continuously. Metered systems have a real time flow rate<br />
<strong>and</strong> totalizer display. The 3200ET timer also provides the<br />
customer or service technician with history displays which can<br />
assist with troubleshooting if required such as: number of days<br />
since last regeneration, prior service volume used, etc. The<br />
3200ET timer also has the following options: regeneration<br />
lockout, calendar clock override, extra regeneration cycles #5<br />
& #6 <strong>and</strong> a programmable auxiliary output during<br />
regeneration.<br />
Systemax 2000 & 2014 Electronic Controllers: Systemax<br />
2000 & 2014 controllers are meant to provide the utmost<br />
flexibility <strong>and</strong> user in<strong>for</strong>mation orientated control that a<br />
commercial customer could ask <strong>for</strong>. These controllers are set<br />
up <strong>for</strong> one to three units <strong>and</strong> multiple controllers can be<br />
interlocked together. The Systemax controllers also have<br />
multiple flow rate, regeneration cycle <strong>and</strong> historical displays<br />
similar to the 3200ET timers as well as up to two auxiliary<br />
outputs per unit. In addition, Systemax 2000 has the flexibility<br />
of changing system types <strong>and</strong> combining two systems together.<br />
Expansion of a Systemax controller is very simple from a single<br />
or duplex to a triplex (Note: 3200ET systems are only<br />
available as singles or duplexes). Systemax controllers also<br />
have some unique options such as the 2014 controller or<br />
System 14 Dem<strong>and</strong> Recall Program <strong>and</strong> Remote Monitoring<br />
to an on site personal computer or off site via the on site PC<br />
<strong>and</strong> a modem.<br />
3200NT Network Controller: The 3200NT uses on-board<br />
common reactions capabilities to link multiple valves via<br />
st<strong>and</strong>ard off-the-shelf telephone cables. This controller is an<br />
option <strong>for</strong> all valve types.
