Product Description
This Autotrol 255 water softener is a time clock water softener that regenerates based on the amount of time that has elapsed since the last regeneration. This Autotrol water softener has a 64,000 grain capacity and features the Logix 742 electronic controller. The Logix is a fully programmable time clock control featuring an 8 hour power back-up that maintains time settings during a power outage. The Autotrol Logix system also incorporates non-volatile ram to maintain programmed memory settings for 99 years.
How the Autotrol 255/742 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.
