1-11: General Information
WATER SOFTENER
Cleaning efficiency and equipment life is increased, chemical use decreased, and the
appearance of cleaned carpets enhanced when water softeners are incorporated in
hard water areas. HydraMaster strongly urges the use of water softener units with the
CDS 4.8/4.6 machines in areas exceeding 3.0 grains per gallon (see figure 1-2).
failure to use a water softener in these areas will invalidate the machine’s warranty.
Referring to the hard water area map shown figure 1-1, determine the quality of water in
your area and take immediate action if
the water hardness exceeds 3.0 grains
per gallon.
The relatively low cost of a water
softener service is more than made up
for by an increased life of machine parts,
reduced chemical costs and continued
cleaning efficiency. The water softener
will also increase the effectiveness of
the cleaning chemicals, therefore less
chemical will be needed.
Contact a water softener distributor in
your area for information on the rental
of a simple water treatment unit to
carry in your truck. Be sure to change
the water softener in accordance with the capability of the softener.
for example: If the softener will treat 900 gallons of water and the machine uses an
average of 30 gallons per hour, for an average of 5 hours a day, this equals 150 gallons
per day. In 6 days the machine would use 900 gallons of water. Therefore, the softener
would need to be changed every 6 working days for maximum softening.
