B&B Water Solutions

We recently performed the installation shown below for a new home in Columbus Indiana. In the picture is a high efficiency 80,000 grain capacity water softener that has a 1″ metered Clack control valve. The control valve will monitor water usage and regenerate as needed when they reach capacity. The control valve will also allow the customer to view how much water their family has used everyday and has a gallon per minute flow meter on display. If they lose power all of their settings are saved. The water softener has a 13″ x 54″ mineral tank with 2.5 cu. ft. of ion exchange resin. The brine tank is a round 18″ x 40″ tank that will hold 320lbs of solar salt (eight 40lb bags.) The water softener will protect all of the plumbing fixtures in the new home from hard water build up.

In the pictures is also a 5 stage reverse osmosis system that will provide filtered water to four locations throughout the home. Three drinking faucets and a refrigerator (with water and ice.) Because this R.O. system is going to multiple locations we installed a larger 20 gallon storage tank. This reverse osmosis system consists of three 2.5″ x 10″ pre-filter housings with a poly bonded sediment cartridge, granular activated carbon cartridge, and a carbon block cartridge. The water then goes through a booster pump where the water pressure increases before the membrane. The membrane is what makes the system an R.O. The water that makes it through the membrane will go to the storage tank and the water that is rejected by the membrane will go to the drain. As water is being used at one of the four locations the water leaves the storage tank and passes through one final carbon post filter.
