The CNTC™ Water Softeners are manufactured as all our other products in our factory in the USA using the highest quality components based on the legendary Fleck control valves, the most respected name in the industry. We build your softener based on your water usage patterns and the hardness of your water. Water Softeners are sized in grains per gallon (gpg).  You may see softeners rated as 32,000 grains. One grain equals 17.1 ppm or mg/liter. So if your water has 10 grains of hardness it is equivalent to 170.1 mg/liter. The more grains of hardness your water has, the more frequently the softener needs to regenerate. It is important to size your softener properly to prevent excessive regeneration. A certain amount of salt goes down the drain with every regeneration. Based on the legendary Fleck control valves, the most respected name in the industry.

Larger softeners are more salt efficient as they regenerate less often. Our standard home units come with a Fleck 5600 Econominder valve. This valve is the industry standard for a home water softener. The 5600 Econominder measures your water usage and regenerates only when necessary. The optional 6700 valve adds a computer microprocessor interface while maintaining the same basic reliable internals as the 5600 valve. The 6700 microprocessor controlled valve allows more flexibility in programming the unit. You can adjust the length of the backwash cycle, or salt used in each regeneration. In addition to residential softeners, we make softening systems for restaurants, car washes, apartments, and more. Please Call us @ (800) 934-1165 for more information.

The Ampac (S) Softener Series combines an attractive design with a Six Cycle, long lasting Noryl valve. The separate Brine Tank can be located away from the Resin Tank allowing the system to be installed in smaller spaces.

This By-Pass Valve comes standard with all Softeners, it enables you to by-pass the softener system if desired.

All CNTC Softeners comes with a Stainless Steel or Polypro Full Jacket, Bypass, and Power Transformer.  Other competitors consider these features as options.

Water Softeners:

What does a water softener do?
A water softener is plumbed into the entry of the house. It removes calcium and magnesium from the water and exchanges it for sodium or potassium, depending upon which type of salt you use.

How much maintenance does a water softener require?
Water softeners are self maintaining. They measure the amount of water used and
regenerate at 2 A.M. by back flushing and running salt through the system to remove the hardness minerals. All you need to do is add salt once a month.

What is the difference between a water softener and a whole house carbon treatment system?
A water softener is plumbed into the entry of the house. It removes calcium and magnesium from the water and exchanges it for sodium or potassium, depending upon which type of salt you use. A whole house carbon system has at least a cubic foot of carbon in a tank similar to a softener tank with similar type of control valve. The carbon reduces chlorine taste, odor, color from the water in your sinks, showers, and faucets.

There are lower priced systems that use 20" Big Blue Housings.   With those systems you have to change a 20" X 4" cartridge once a year.   Those Granule Active Coconut Shell Carbon Cartridges (GAC) cost $ 58.00
