INTRODUCTION
This booklet is designed to cover the total range of Waterco Commandomatic domestic water softeners, purifiers
and filters.
GENERAL INFORMATION
Commandomatic domestic units may be divided broadly into two types:-
1. Water Filters
a) Sediment Filters are used to remove suspended material from the water.
Sediment, mud and algae are filtered out down to the size of approximately
10 microns by a filter bed of anthracite, sand and gravel.
b) Carbon Filters contain a deep bed of activated carbon as the filter media.
Carbon is a highly adsorbent material with a very high capacity for the
removal of tastes/ odours, chlorine and Trihalomethanes.
2. Water Softeners and Purifier
a) Water Softeners remove hardness ( Calcium and Magnesium ) from water.
The hardness minerals are trapped by the ion exchange resin bed.
b) Purifier Softeners are a combination unit. They have both softening and purifying
resins in their resin beds. This unit is well suited to use on water that is moderately
hard and has an organic content.
