Autotrol 255 - 64,000 grain water softener featuring the Autotrol 255 valve and 760 Logix controller. This is a metered water softener meaning it will regenerate based on how much water is used. It is ideal for well water and city water applications with moderate to high hardness levels.
Product Description
The Autotrol 255 water softener is a demand regenerated softener meaning it measures the quantity of water used and only regenerates when necessary. This provides substantial water and salt savings versus a time clock regenerated water softener. This water softener utilizes the popular and very reliable Autotrol 255 valve and the Logix 760 digital controller. Autotrol is manufactured by GE Water & Process Technologies.
How the Autotrol 255/760 Water Softener Works
Calcium and Magnesium compounds make water hard. The resin used inside the Autotrol 255 water softener is attracted to both calcium and magnesium containing compounds. When calcium or magnesium contact a bead of water softener resin, it adheres to the resin and is trapped. In exchange for trapping the hardness compound, the resin releases a sodium particle. Eventually the resin becomes saturated with hardness particles. At this point the water softener rinses the resin with very salty water called brine. The resin releases the hardness particles which are flushed to the drain and are recharged with sodium from the brine. The resin is now ready to trap more calcium and magnesium.

- Whiter laundry
- Less detergent in dishwasher and washing machine
