The water softener system must have the capacity to handle 1.5 times the maximum flow rate of the pump. Both the exiting flow rate [liters (gallons) per minute] and the flow rate of liters (gallons) per duty cycle should be considered.
Required primary water flow rate is determined by pump and orifice size. Cooling water Recommended cooling water flow rate is 11 L/min (3 gpm) per 50 hp (motor) at 15.5°C (60°F) inlet water temperature. This flow rate will increase as inlet water temperature increases.
Water properties General properties Clarity Turbidity indicates the existence of very fine particles. Small particles can destroy orifices. Primary water should be clear. Color Color can derive from dissolved iron or from organic compounds. Primary water should be colorless. Odor Chlorine, organic solvent, and sulfur compounds can generate noticeable smell.

Carbonate m-Alkalinity* Acid neutralizing capacity of water. Foaming and carryover of solids, causes embrittlement of steel, can produce CO , a source of corrosion. *Bicarbonate (HCO ), Carbonate (CO ), and Hydrate (OH) expressed as CaCO Hardness Sum of all hardness constituents in water. Typically expressed as their equivalent concentration of calcium carbonate primarily due to calcium and magnesium in solution, but may include small amounts of metal.
