Maintenance: Frequently Asked Questions The Information provided will help keep your Futura Water Softener running at Top Performance for years to come. What’s the difference between traditional water softener and FUTURA Salt Free Anti-Scale Water Softener/Conditioner? 1) Sodium content will not increase: The traditional water softener operates on the basis of ion ex- change.
This happens because the FUTURA Water Conditioner is cleaning the pipes that may have a sodium and/or calcium build up in the pipes. This will lasts for a short time until the pipes are clean.
You can also observe the heating equipment and appliances that were already covered with scales. A few days after installing the FUTURA Water Conditioner, you will notice that any existing white scale will begin to disappear, and appliances will soon be free of new scale buildup.
What is the maximum operating temperature of the FUTURA media? This material of the media is considered stable under specified conditions of usage. The FUTURA media will tolerate feed water temperature in between 41-120º F. However, avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles; beads may fracture.
