You made a smart choice….a wise investment that will enhance your lifestyle & protect your home.
The system that you purchased is manufactured here in the USA to the highest international standards of quality and performance by highly-skilled American artisans. When properly maintained, it will provide you with many years of faithful service.


Quite possibly the hardest-working appliance in your home, your water system can possibly help to:http://www.mysoftener.com/images/STAR.jpg (http://www.mysoftener.com/index.php/periodic-maintenance/schedule-periodic-maintenance)



*protect your appliances from the permanent damage caused by hard water



*save you money on cleaning materials*



*protect your clothing



*give you better dish washing results



*reduce mineral build-up in pipes, faucets, and fixtures*



*eliminate soap scum & soap curd



*enhance the taste & appearance of foods and drinks



*give you skin & hair that feels clean and rejuvenated



*give you a level of relaxation and entertainment, bathing in the essential element – water !



*reduce your household’s net carbon footprint and greenhouse gas emissions


Depending* on* your* water* usage* lifestyle* and* local* water* quality* conditions,* your* system* could process many* thousands of gallons of water and remove* thousands of pounds of* inorganic metals and minerals from your water every single year. This heavy workload means* that over* time, your system will be forced to sacrifice a little bit of itself to protect you. Attrition occurs as varying rates, depending on local water quality factors, mineral & metal content, chlorine levels, temperature, and of course your water usage habits. Resin attrition is a natural phenomenon that occurs in all water treatment appliances, regardless of anufacturer. The presence of free chlorine or other oxidizing agents* in water will* lead* to* physical* resin* degradation* over* time.* The maximum* recommended levels of free chlorine are 0.3 ppm to / > 30C). Iron and other heavy metals catalyze the oxidative degradation of cation exchange resins. Oxidation of strong acid cation exchange resin will cause de-crosslinking* of* the* polymer matrix,* leading* to* an* increase* in* the water* retention* capacity* of* the resin,* causing* it* to* swell. This* swelling will* further weaken* the mechanical* integrity of* the* resin. Temperature, chlorine concentration, and the presence of heavy metals will further impact the rate of resin oxidation, de-crosslinking and performance degradation.*

Your local dealer is specially trained and equipped with the necessary testing and analysis tools to properly configure your system on original set-up and periodically during service and maintenance visits.* The* smart* electronics* within* your* system will* accommodate* for* the* attrition* process* by adjusting the amount of Pur-gard and salt that your system uses to clean itself after each hard day of work protecting you. Your dealer also will make other adjustments to the base programming and firmware as needed.

Benign bacteria like HPC’s can lurk in safe city water supplies and slowly colonize traditional water treatment* equipment. Heterotrophic* plate* count* (HPC)* bacteria* are* a* generally* benign* family* of chlorine-resistant* bacteria* that* inhabit most* plumbing* systems. HPCs* are* evident* as* part* of* the slimy coating that can be found on drinking filters and inside water softeners known as a ‘biofilm’. *
*
A biofilm* is a* collection or organic* and* inorganic material, as well* as* living* and dead organisms, responsible* for* numerous* water* quality* and* distribution* problems* such* as* loss* of* disinfection residual* levels, odors, color, microbial-induced corrosion, reduced material* life and a reduction* in dissolved oxygen content. While HPCs themselves are generally not harmful to human health, they provide* nutrition* and* protection* for* pathogenic* bacteria. …….thankfully;* a* patented* process* has
been developed to help address this dangerous threat to your comfort, health and safety.* Through precision injection of Pur-gard on a carefully controlled cleaning schedule, your system is able keep itself as clean as possible between scheduled maintenance visits while working hard for you every day.
*
In addition to being a safe and effective anti-bacterial, Pur-gard will also clean, lubricate and protect the* metal* moving* parts* in* your* system,* while* minimizing* scale* formation* and* enhancing* the cleaning* capacity* of* your* water* system.*** SP-500* is* to* be* applied* during* periodic* service* and maintenance visits by your local service agent as needed, based on your water usage habits.*

REMEMBER – Always keep your Pur-Gard reservoir full to ensure optimal system performance.
Inferior “liquid cleaners” could possibly damage your system. Always ask for Pur-Gard by name!


Your system relies on simple, safe and cost-effective sodium, or potassium based salt as part of its cleaning matrix. Feel free to use any type of salt in your system, but remember that cleaner grades of salt will help your system perform at its best and possibly even reduce the cost of servicing your system.


Your system is governed by a state-of-the-art computer control system that has been ruggedized to operate* in* the* harsh* environment* of* a water* treatment* system. This* controller* incorporates* the latest hardware and software at time of manufacture.* As technology* improves and further features are* introduced, you can relax and enjoy the peace of
mind knowing that your system’s software & firmware are fully upgradeable using robust Smart SD technology* to* further* help* you maximize* your* investment.* During* your* scheduled maintenance visit, your dealer can apply* the* latest software updates* to your system, keeping you current with the latest technology.


Your local dealer is factory certified to support & service your investment to ensure that you get the very best water quality for you and your family….. Water that feels good tastes great & works hard for you.


Every household is different, with varying water-usage patterns and expectations of water quality. The annual model is clearly deficient, so the progressive dealer should consider service based upon the* aggregate* amount of hardness* and other* inorganics processed by* the* system. Many* industry experts agree that a system should be serviced after processing approximately 1,000,000 grains or at least every 12 months, whichever is sooner.
*
During each scheduled maintenance visit, your* local dealer will perform a battery of tests on your system as well as quantitative testing of your local water chemistry. Some of the tests include:-



Influent water chemistry panel



Effluent water chemistry panel



Comprehensive mechanical performance evaluation



Media performance & attrition calculations



Cleaning power


Your technician is trained to help you with the advice and recommendations necessary to keep your system performing at optimal* levels; while at your home,* the* technician will* review* the system’s n-board statistical and diagnostic records to make the appropriate recommendations based on the water quality challenges that your system has faced each year. *
As part of* the* comprehensive maintenance* service,* your* system will be* given* an* exact dose of a highly-concentrated yet safe, clean, & environmentally friendly performance enhancing disinfectant to help you keep your system performing* “just like new” for as long as possible and to enhance the taste feel and cleaning power of your system.


Thank* you* for* investing* in* a* ProSystems water* quality management* system, we* know* that* you won't be disappointed !
