Additional System Components - Kinetico Commercial Plus Series Technical Manual

CP Series Technical Manual
System By-Pass
For each system, a by-pass is recommended. This can be installed using three ball
valves. This allows the system to be isolated during any service operations. By-pass
valving is not included as a part of the system package.
Main Remote
Resin Tanks
Each system uses two resin tanks. The main tank includes the Mach control valve.
The secondary tank is referred to as the remote tank.
Upper Distributor
The distributor prevents channeling of the inlet stream into the top of the resin bed. A
plastic molded distributor is attached to the top of the control valve. The distributor
also prevents resin from backwashing out of the tanks.
Riser Tube
A riser tube is used to connect the lower distributor to the control valve. The riser
tube is 1.0" in diameter.
Distributors
The lower distributors are of a slotted hub design. This cone, provides for excellent
flow distribution through the resin bed.
Media
High capacity, uniform bead resin is used in the compact commercial softeners. The
resin has a capacity of 30,000 grains per cubic foot when regenerated at a brine
setting of 15 lbs./cubic foot.
Tank Interconnection
Each twin tank system uses a set of inter-connectors to provide a water path from the
main control valve to the remote tank. This interconnecting plumbing is included with
the system package. It uses a double o-ring seal to provide a leak-free connection.
A connector link and pins hold the tanks together under pressure.
