Nelsen 150K Commercial Water Softener — Mineral Tank

Reliable 150,000-Grain Commercial Water Softening Capacity

The Nelsen 150,000-grain commercial water softener from the Mineral Tank line offers robust capacity designed for medium to large commercial facilities requiring effective hardness removal. With a grain capacity of 150,000, this system efficiently serves applications with substantial water usage, such as boiler feed systems, cooling towers, laundries, food service operations, and multi-unit housing complexes. This capacity ensures extended run times between regeneration cycles, maintaining consistent soft water for critical processes and equipment protection.

Commercial Twin and Alternating Softening Explained

The Nelsen 150,000-grain models utilize twin alternating softening technology to provide continuous soft water supply. In twin systems, one mineral tank is online softening water while the second regenerates, ensuring no downtime. This alternating operation is essential in commercial settings where uninterrupted soft water is critical to operations. The alternating feature extends resin life, improves efficiency, and reduces water and salt consumption by regenerating only when necessary based on demand or time-clock controls.

Configuration Variants and Control Valve Differences

The product family offers multiple configurations, differing primarily in control valve series and regeneration control methods:

• WS2 Mtr: Uses the WS2 valve series with a metered demand control, regenerating based on actual water usage. Ideal for facilities with variable or unpredictable water demands, optimizing salt and water use.
• WS2-S4: Features the WS2 valve with alternating (S4) control, enabling twin tank alternation for continuous service. Best suited for facilities requiring constant soft water without interruption.
• WS2-TA: Equipped with WS2 valve and a time-clock alternating control. This model regenerates on a fixed schedule, suitable for facilities with predictable, consistent water usage patterns.
• WS2H Mtr: Incorporates the WS2H valve with metered demand control, offering enhanced hydraulics for higher flow rates or specific pressure requirements.
• WS2H TA: Combines the WS2H valve with time-clock alternating control, blending robust flow capacity with scheduled regeneration cycles.

Applications and Suitability

The Nelsen 150,000-grain Mineral Tank softener family is engineered for diverse commercial applications:

• Boiler Feed: Protects boilers from scale and corrosion, improving efficiency and longevity.
• Cooling Towers: Reduces scale buildup, enhancing heat exchange and lowering maintenance.
• Laundries: Improves detergent efficiency and fabric care by eliminating hardness minerals.
• Food Service: Ensures optimal water quality for cooking, cleaning, and equipment protection.
• Multi-Unit Housing: Provides consistent soft water across multiple units, enhancing resident satisfaction and appliance lifespan.
