Persistent dry, itchy skin can transform everyday living into a daily discomfort, leaving your family scratching, irritated, and restless. This unwelcome condition often stems from the hidden culprit lurking in your water supply: hard water. Its mineral buildup leaves a dry film on skin, exacerbating itchiness, dryness, and even causing flare-ups that disrupt your home's comfort and your loved ones’ well-being. Without the right solution, you face ongoing skin irritation and the frustration of endless moisturizing attempts that barely scratch the surface.

The system that fixes it

The Pentair Dry, Itchy Skin System is engineered specifically to combat the harsh effects of hard water that cause skin dryness and irritation. At its core is the Pentair-series metered control valve—an advanced, genuine brand valve that precisely measures water usage to optimize treatment cycles, ensuring efficiency and longevity. This valve is not just a component; it is a serviceable, reliable heart of the system that guarantees consistent performance and easy maintenance over time. Encasing this valve is a high-capacity resin tank designed to handle the demands of your household with durability and efficiency. Inside, the working media consists of 10% cross-linked cation softening resin, a powerful agent that strips away the hard-water minerals responsible for drying your skin and causing relentless itching.

How the media works

The secret behind the Pentair Dry, Itchy Skin System’s effectiveness lies in its 10% cross-linked cation softening resin media. This resin is specially designed to bind and remove the calcium and magnesium ions responsible for hard water’s drying effects. When hard water passes through the resin tank, these minerals are captured and replaced with sodium ions, resulting in softened water that won’t cling to your skin or leave a dry, itchy residue. The “cross-linked” structure of the resin means it’s tougher and more durable, maintaining its performance over time without breaking down—ensuring your skin stays protected and comfortable day after day.
