Nelsen 120K Commercial Water Softener — Mineral Tank

Nelsen 120,000-Grain Commercial Water Softener Family

The Nelsen 120,000-grain commercial water softener family is designed to deliver reliable, high-capacity softening for a wide variety of commercial applications. With a substantial softening capacity of 120,000 grains, these systems are engineered to protect your facility’s equipment and processes from scale buildup, improving efficiency and reducing maintenance costs. Ideal for medium to large commercial operations, this family of softeners suits boiler feedwater, cooling towers, laundries, food service establishments, and multi-unit housing complexes.

Capacity and Facility Suitability

Each system in this Mineral Tank line offers a capacity of 120,000 grains, making it well-suited for facilities that require consistent soft water at moderate to high flow rates. This capacity supports continuous operation in environments where scale prevention is critical, such as commercial boilers, cooling towers, commercial laundry operations, and large food service facilities. The volume of softened water provided helps maintain equipment longevity and operational efficiency in commercial settings.

Commercial Twin and Alternating Softening Explained

Commercial twin softening systems use two mineral tanks that operate in tandem to ensure a continuous supply of softened water. While one tank is in service, treating incoming water, the other tank is regenerating. This design eliminates downtime and maintains uninterrupted soft water delivery. Alternating softeners cycle between tanks based on preset intervals or demand, further optimizing salt and water usage while balancing workload between tanks. This approach is ideal for facilities with fluctuating or high water demands.

Available Configurations

The Nelsen 120,000-grain family comes in three distinct control valve configurations, each tailored to different monitoring and regeneration preferences:

• WS2 Mtr (Metered Demand): Features a meter-based control valve that initiates regeneration based on actual water usage. This demand-initiated regeneration conserves salt and water by only regenerating when necessary, making it efficient for facilities with variable water consumption.
• WS2-S4 (Alternating): Equipped with an alternating control valve that switches between the two tanks on a timed schedule or after a set number of gallons. This configuration ensures balanced use of both tanks and continuous soft water supply with simplified control.
• WS2-TA (Time-Clock): Utilizes a time-clock controlled valve that regenerates tanks at preset time intervals regardless of water usage. This setup is straightforward and effective in applications with predictable, consistent water flow patterns.

Applications

The Nelsen 120,000-grain commercial softener family is versatile and reliable for multiple commercial water treatment needs, including:

• Boiler Feedwater: Prevent scale buildup and protect boiler tubes for improved efficiency and lifespan.
• Cooling Towers: Reduce scale deposits that impair heat exchange and increase energy consumption.
• Laundries: Improve detergent performance and fabric care by reducing water hardness.
• Food Service: Enhance equipment longevity and water quality for consistent food preparation.
• Multi-Unit Housing: Provide softened water to multiple units to protect plumbing and appliances.

Installation and Service

All Nelsen softeners feature durable mineral tanks designed for longevity and ease of service. The control valve configurations offer flexibility to accommodate different facility water usage patterns and maintenance preferences. Because the systems use proven control valve technology, servicing and parts replacement are straightforward, minimizing downtime and service costs.
