ClearPlus™ Series Tannin & Organics Filters

Description & Benefits

Tannins and other organics are commonly found in surface water from lakes, streams, and shallow wells under the influence of surface water. They are responsible for unpleasant tastes and odors and are often the cause of the unsightly yellow/orange discoloration that makes the water look like "tea." Organics also serve as precursors to a wide range of harmful disinfection by-products which form when water containing tannins and other organics is chlorinated.

Our ClearPlus™ Series Tannin and Organics water treatment systems not only remove tannins, lignins, and other organics to restore the clarity of your water, but they also contain a specialized mineral media to naturally prevent acidic pH conditions that are common after anion-exchange treatment with competitor's systems!

• Removes tannins, lignins, and organics to improve the clarity and taste of your water

Smart technology for high efficiency...

All ClearPlus™ tannin filter systems are optimally designed and pre-programmed to ensure that you can achieve peak performance and salt efficiency.

ClearPlus™ systems are designed to automatically backwash and regenerate periodically to eject trapped sediment and particulates and restore media capacity. This process is controlled by the Fleck 5800 SXT digital control valve and is generally programmed to occur in the middle of the night (fully adjustable) when you are not likely to be using any water. The system uses a sophisticated controller which calculates the optimal time to regenerate the system based on the system capacity, your water consumption patterns, your water use, and contaminant levels.

How ClearPlus™ Tannin Filters Work

1. Fleck 5800SXT Control Valve - Our ClearPlus™ Series filters use a sophisticated digital controller which calculates the optimal time to regenerate the system based on its capacity, your water consumption patterns, your water use, and contaminant levels. The result is greater salt and water efficiency, and easier programing, maintenance, and servicing.

Fleck brand control valves are manufactured in the U.S.A. by Pentair, LLC, one of the world's largest water treatment companies, and leading filter control valve manufacturer. The Fleck 5800 is part of a new series of valves recently released by Pentair which feature some of the most advanced control options for water filter regeneration. The Fleck 5800 control valve is tested and certified by the Water Quality Association to NSF/ANSI Standard 44 for Water Softener Performance. Many of our competitors are still using 20+ year old valve technology (Fleck 5600 for instance). Some are even still using archaic electromechanical models instead of digital controllers.

The regeneration process occurs roughly every 5-7 days and is generally programmed to occur in the middle of the night (fully adjustable) when you are not likely to be using any water.

2. Anion Exchange Resin - The anion exchange resin is the heart of the system. ClearPlus™ Series Tannin Filters remove the tannins, lignins, and organics through a process called anion exchange. They contain electro-positively charged plastic beads (anion resin) that attract negatively charged organic contaminants in the water. These contaminants cling to the media and are removed from the water stream. As the media becomes saturated with contaminants over time, the system is designed to perform a self-cleaning process called regeneration on a periodic basis. This is all performed automatically. The system uses chloride ions from common salt to eject contaminants off of the media - the chloride ions are "exchanged" for the contaminants and the chloride ions cling to the media instead. The contaminants are backwashed / rinsed down the drain. When the system returns to service, the opposite "exchange" process occurs whereby the organics contaminants are exchanged for the chloride ions.

3. Zeolite Media w/ pH Correction - ClearPlus™ Series filters use a specialized synthetic zeolite media to ensure a proper pH balance of the treated water. During anion exchange treatment, it is common that the pH of the treated water will decline, often resulting in water that is slightly acidic. Our mineral media will naturally boost the pH to a neutral level.

4. Gravel Underbed - the gravel support layer ensures even water flow across the anion exchange resin and zeolite media, preventing channeling that could reduce performance.

5. Brine Tank - The salt used to regenerate the media is stored in a brine tank which sits beside the system. All you have to do is add water softener salt to the brine tank periodically (only once or twice per month for most systems). The system does everything else automatically.

6. Brine Controls - All of our systems come with a fully assembled brine control system which consists of a brine well, brine valve, safety float, air check, and overflow port. During the regeneration process, the control valve draws brine (salt water) from the brine tank to regenerate the media. At the end of the regeneration cycle, it adds a carefully measured amount of water back to the brine tank so that it can make new brine for the next regeneration.

7. Salt - Water softener salt is available at most big box retailers and hardware stores and is inexpensive.

8. Salt Grid - The salt grid allows the water to interface with the salt so it can be dissolved to make a good brine solution for the regeneration process without the salt getting into the brine control system where it could cause clogging.

Specifications

Installation / Manuals

We have designed our ClearPlus™ Tannin Filter systems for ease of installation. We provide a bypass valve and complete pre-assembled brine tank kit with each system. The brine tank kit includes a 14 x 14 x 34" molded black brine tank, brine well, salt grid, safety float, air check valve, and brine tubing. The bypass valve has male 1" NPT threaded fittings. If your pipe diameter is different, you can connect to the bypass with simple adapters available at any hardware store. The drain line connection is female 1/2" NPT.

The ClearPlus™ Tannin Filter system should be installed after the pressure tank or pressure booster if applicable. It is normally installed after the branch to exterior irrigation so that it only treats water used inside the building. This reduces salt consumption.

We recommend that ClearPlus™ Tannin Filter systems be installed by a licensed plumber, however, your warranty is valid as long as your system is installed in accordance with local plumbing codes and the Owner's Manual.
