Water Treatment is the last part of your new water system. This part of the system gives you the quality of the water. This part is extremely important, because you do not want all of your new fixture and clothing stained from the minerals in the water. If the water treatment system is sized and treated properly you should not be able to tell you are drinking well water. Make sure the system you select will soften water and remove iron at a good flow rate to meet your household needs. We will provide a free water analysis upon request.
     Suburban Installers installs top of the line high flow units from Sterling Water Treatment Systems. Their units consist of Water Softeners, Rust Buster Water Softeners, Iron removal systems, RO (Reverse Osmosis) Units, & Sediment Filters.
                        Some question to ask when selecting a water treatment system for your house is:
1.Is the unit a metered of a clock unit?
2.How many-treated gpm will the unit deliver?
3.What is the capacity of the resin beds?
4.Will the unit remove iron without increase salt consumption?
     The difference between a metered unit and a clock unit is that the metered unit only regenerates on demand. A set number of gallons have to go through the meter to cause it to regenerate that night. These units cost a little bit more but will save on salt in the long run. All of our units we install are metered. A clock unit regenerates every night weather water was used or not. The way goes through excessive amounts of salt.
Size of the system is important too. Typically all the units we use are two cubic foot unit’s 68,000 grains capacity. This means there is two cubic feet of media in the tank to soften the
water. The size and the grain capacity determine the water flow through the unit. A lot of companies will install one or one and half cubic foot units sufficiently reducing the treated gpm. Lets say the softener lets 4 gpm of treated water threw; a bathtub is being fill with a 10-gpm faucet. In this case the tub is being filled with 4 gallons of treated water and 6 gallons not treated.
     Iron plays a major role in treatment of the water. A lot of softeners out there cannot handle the iron. So intern the salt consumption is turned up on the softener to help cleanse the iron out of the resin bed. This puts excessive amount of sodium in the water and the company wants to sell you a RO system to take the salt back out of the water. Sterling units have an iron removal system incorperated into their systems, without the need for excessive salt consumption. Typical we select the softeners this way according to the iron.
0-.75 ppm (part per million) iron a CSM2001 Softener
.75-1.75 ppm CSIMX 2001 Rust Buster Softener
1.75 and above ppm CSM2001 Softener and a MCA2001 Iron Filter.
     Sterling also has RO units (Reverse Osmosis). These are for low flow applications, but can supply as much as 50 gallons per day. These units filter everything out of the water and leave it in its purest form and produce almost crystal clear ice cubes. This unit is installed as a separate faucet on the sink and hooked up to the refrigerator / icemaker.
