Application and Installations for the

Combination OCR Removal & Softener Unit 

This Combination Softener has been designed to remove tannins and hardness from your water supply. Tannins can cause 
a yellow to brown colour in the water (i.e. organic colour) and also may impart taste and odour as well. Tannins are formed 
by the decomposition of vegetable matter. Hardness is responsible for the deposition of calcium carbonate scale in pipes 
and equipment. 

All  tannins  are  not  equal,  the  unit  selected  should  have  been  with  the  assistance  of  an  authorized  representative  or 
distributor. This is typically done based on a water analysis and column testing of the source water and/or with experience 
on other successful installations in the area on the same source water. 

Application Notes about Combination OCR Removal & Softener Unit: 

1. Although  the  Combination unit   was  selected  using  the  source  water,  the  selected  Combination  unit  was  the  most 

suitable for this application, total removable of all colour contaminants may occasionally not be attained due to: 

a)  Multiple types of tannins in the source water. Unit media may only be successful at removing some of these 

organics, but not all. 

b)  Colour may be caused by contaminants other than organics. 
c)  The  remaining  contaminants  may  require  removal  by  other  methods  such  as  activated  carbon,  reverse 

osmosis, etc. Please consult your authorized representative or distributor for solutions. 

2.  Metals in the water such as Iron and Manganese can also foul the Combination resin bed, reducing the ability to remove 

tannins and hardness. An iron filter or iron guard softener should be used to reduce the problem causing contaminants 
to an acceptable level. 

(

Installation Tip: Ensure that the Combination unit is only allowed to regenerate after the regeneration of 

the filter unit, if one is present.) 

3.  Turbidity caused by suspended solids and sediment can foul the Combination resin bed. Removal of the turbidity can 

be achieved through some type of mechanical filtration such as a multi-media filter and/or cartridge filters. 

4.  Depending on the alkalinity of the source water being treated, the pH (alkalinity) of the water after the Combination unit 

will likely drop for part or all of the units service run after regeneration. This is caused by the Combination unit’s resin 
ability  to  also  remove  alkalinity  in  the  water.  Adjustment  of  the  waters  pH  may  be  required  once  treated  by  the 
Combination unit. 

5.  If “nitrates” are present in the source water, consult your authorized representative or distributor for additional solutions. 

(Caution: This unit has not been designed for nitrate removal and should be dealt with separately

.

6.  Occasionally, a fishy odour will occur if the source water is of a high pH, typically greater than 8.0. If this occurs, putting 

the unit through a couple regeneration cycles can sometimes reduce the odour. Chlorine in combination with a higher 
pH can also make the odour worse or more difficult to overcome as chlorine degrades the resin in the Combination unit. 

7.  Depending on the alkalinity of the source water being treated, the chlorides in the treated water from the Combination 

unit will increase proportionally. This may result in a bitter salty taste which should be treated with a reverse osmosis 
drinking water system for household drinking and cooking water.
