- WHAT IS WATER HARDNESS:
Calcium (Ca)
Magnesium (Mg)
The term hardness refers to the
quantity of dissolved calcium and magnesium in water. These minerals,
which come primarily from limestone type rock formations, are
found to some degree in almost all natural waters. Calcium and
magnesium cause problems for two principal reasons:
When the water is warmed, they
precipitate out of solution and form a hard, rock-like scale.
This scale accelerates corrosion, restricts flow, and reduces
heat transfer in water heaters and boilers.
When they combine with soap, they react to form a curd, which
interferes with cleaning, dries out skin, and leaves deposits
on plumbing and clothes (bathtub ring; ring around the collar).
Hardness is measured in parts per million (or the equivalent
mg/L) or in grains per gallon (gpg). Note: if the water analysis
is given in ppm as CaCO3 then 1 gpg = 17.1 ppm. There is no established
limit for the acceptable level of hardness in water, but it is
generally considered to become problematic at around 3 gpg.
Levels of hardness are referred
to as follows:
Soft Water: 0 - 1 grains per
gallon (gpg)
Slightly Hard Water: 1 - 4 grains per gallon (gpg)
Moderately Hard Water: 4 - 7 grains per gallon (gpg)
Hard Water: 7 - 10 grains per gallon (gpg)
Very Hard Water: Over 10 grains per gallon (gpg)

- RainDanceMAX Package - The ULTIMATE TOTAL HOME high flow water
softener and whole house drinking water filter - Filters chlorine
tastes, odors, and hard water minerals (calcium and magnesium)
The RainDanceMAX Package also includes UV ultraviolet light disinfection
system. Assurance:
RainDanceMAX
Package includes the SPV-950 UV system - NSF/ANSI Standard 55,
Class A certification and provides a flow rate of 14.9 gpm. This
user friendly UV system comes with the feature-laden Platinum™
controller coupled with the Flow-Pace™ UV intensity monitor.
This combination allows for 2-stage flow pacing whereby half-power
is provided to the lamps in conditions of no flow and full-power
when the water is running. This allows the system to operate
with minimal power requirements and reduced heat build-up. The
Platinum™ controller provides constant output current and
a universal power input, as well as visually displaying % UV
intensity, remaining lamp life and total hours of operation. Boil water advisory? Township and city-managed
water supplies aren’t failsafe, either. Boil water advisories
are becoming more common. Beyond the inconvenience they cause,
such advisories are a clear warning that the clean water we’ve
taken for granted is becoming a scarce resource.

What Is Iron (Fe)
The presence of Iron is a very
common water quality problem, particularly in water from deep
wells. Water containing even a significant quantity of iron may
appear clear when drawn, but will rapidly turn red upon exposure
to air. This process is called oxidation, and involves the conversion
of ferrous (dissolved) iron, which is highly soluble, to ferric
(precipitated) iron, which is largely insoluble. The ferric iron
then causes red/brown staining on clothes, fixtures, etc.
Iron concentration is measured
in ppm or mg/l (milligrams per liter, where 1 ppm = 1 mg/l).
Staining usually becomes a problem at concentrations greater
than 0.3 ppm.
What Is Manganese (Mn)
Manganese is a metal similar
to iron which causes a grey/black stain. It can cause staining
in concentrations as low as 0.05 ppm.
MANGANESE WATER REMOVAL TREATMENT
SOLUTIONS:
What Is Hydrogen Sulfide (H2S)
Hydrogen Sulfide is a gas which
smells strongly like rotten eggs. It results from the decay of
organic matter with organic sulphur and the presence of certain
types of bacteria. Even very low concentrations are offensive
as well as highly corrosive (silver tarnishes almost immediately
upon contact with H2S).
Because it is in a gaseous form,
H2S cannot be collected in a sample bottle for laboratory analysis.
Therefore, its presence must be reported when a sample is submitted
for a treatment recommendation.
Acidity Low (pH), Acidic Water,
pH Correction
Water which contains excess acidity
tends to act aggressively towards plumbing and fixtures, causing
corrosion and staining (i.e.-blue green stains on fixtures from
copper pipes). Relative acidity/alkalinity is measured on the
pH scale, ranging from 0- 1 4, where 7 is neutral, numbers lower
than 7 are progressively more acidic, and numbers higher than
seven are increasingly alkaline (basic). The pH value refers
not to the quantity of acidity, but rather to the relative acidity/alkalinity
of a particular sample.
Alkalinity acts as a buffer to
deactivate the acidity, a process called neutralization. For
example, limestone (calcium carbonate) is often applied to soil
to offset the acidity which comes from acid rain and decaying
organic material. The acceptable range for water is 6.5-8.5.
Acidity cannot be removed from
water. However, it can be neutralized by raising the pH with
alkalinity.
The Iron Max Series: These Maintenance-Free systems are completely
chemical and salt free. In other words they do not require salt
pellets or chemicals for backwashing. Designed to filter high
levels of Ferrous (clear water iron), Ferric (red/orange as drawn),
Manganese (black staining), Hydrogen Sulfide Gas (rotten egg
odor), and Suspended Solids (solid particles suspended in water)
to provide quality drinking water. Our Maxi-Cure Series use NSF
Approved Certified 61 filtration media. For complete pricing

- Upgrade For Added Filtration - Deluxe
Iron Max-UV Packages are designed for well water sources
only. Why Our Deluxe Iron Max Package With UV Treatment: Assurance: Aside from iron, manganese and hydrogen sulfide gas odor filtration.
All Deluxe
Iron Max-UV Packages include the Hallett™ 15xs UV System
which are NSF/ANSI 55 Class A certified and globally recognized
as the leading market leader for markets requiring NSF/ANSI 55
Class A certification. Crossfire Technology is engineered to
be risk-free and fail-safe:
Crossfire Technology uses dual smart UV sensors mounted in air,
which are designed to not foul and are more reliable indicators
of system performance than ordinary systems. The lamps are fan-cooled
and maintain consistent levels of UV output for maximum pathogen
deactivation. Computerized
alarms and an auto shut-off fail-safe valve are designed so that
only safe water can enter your water system.
Crossfire Technology is
self-cleaning: Crossfire
Technology uses a stainless steel wiper to clean the inside of
the quartz sleeve eliminating quartz fouling and the need for
a water softener making abrasive quartz cleaning a thing of the
past – saving money and the environment.
Crossfire Technology is
virtually maintenance-free:
Crossfire technology utilizes two lamps mounted in air, outside
the quartz sleeve so maintaining a Hallett is as easy as changing
a light bulb with nosystem draining required. The UV lamps require
replacement after 12 months of operation and notification of
lamp replacement is given via a warning one month in advance. Each system is
shipped with a Transient Voltage Surge Suppressor (TVSS)/Surge
Protective Device (SPD) that has been certified to the UL 1449
standard by an NRTL/C and includes integral Over/Under Voltage
shutoff protection. Crossfire Technology is easy to install: Crossfire technology employs flexible
stainless steel hoses with Female Iron Pipe (FIP) connections
for quick and simple installation. The Hallett 15xs has a smart display: The operator interface is designed to
allow unprecedented access to information such as lamp lifetime,
message history and UV intensity display.
