WHAT EACH PART DOES
Two tanks.
Two different jobs.
The treatment media inside the tanks does the work. Each stage has a specific role.
Ion-exchange softening
A separate resin bed reduces hardness minerals such as calcium and magnesium. The system regenerates according to its programmed demand.
Metered control
A Clack metered automatic control valve manages the treatment cycles. Family First Water specifies, installs, and supports the complete system.
OWNING YOUR SYSTEM
Clear expectations.
Long after installation.
Salt & filter maintenance
Maintenance schedules vary based on household water use, water hardness, and the installed system. We’ll explain salt and filter requirements with your quote.
