Program description:
Water softeners not only provide a better standard of living but are necessary in some commercial applications. Yes, water softeners use salt, but there are ways to reduce salt consumption. As the installer, you can upsell HE systems to increase revenue for your business, while at the same time, saving your customer money and reducing waste in the environment. This training covers a few basics in water softening, an overview of water softening medias, how the media is manufactured, cross linkage, kinetics, capacities, salt dosage, efficiencies, competing ions, salt saturation, injector dilution, up flow vs down flow brining, HE softening advantages, selling residential and commercial HE water softeners, and finally a brief overview of salt-free systems and brine reclaim.
