| APPLICATIONS: |
| ProSoft™ Gold is ideally suited for use in industrial, commercial, and residential softening applications where
free chlorine is not present because of its high capacity, uniform particle size, and good physical stability. |
| |
| |
 |
| |
| PRESSURE DROP — The graph above shows the expected pressure loss per foot of bed
depth as a function of flow rate at various temperatures. |
| |
| |
 |
| |
| BACKWASH — After each cycle the resin bed should be backwashed at a rate that expands the bed 50 to 75
percent. This will remove any foreign matter and reclassify the bed. The graph above shows the expansion characteristics
of ProSoft™ Gold in the sodium form. |
