How It Works
The 890-S Plastic Distributor Head functions as a critical component inside mineral tanks, facilitating the uniform flow of water through the softening media. As water enters the tank, the distributor head directs it evenly across the mineral bed, ensuring maximum contact with the resin or filtration material. This promotes efficient ion exchange and optimal softening performance.
By maintaining balanced water flow, the distributor head prevents channeling and uneven wear, which can compromise the entire water treatment process. Its design and material composition contribute to a reliable seal and smooth operation within the system.
What to Expect
After installing the 890-S Plastic Distributor Head, you’ll immediately notice improved water flow consistency and reduced pressure fluctuations in your water softener. During the first few weeks, the system will operate more smoothly, with enhanced softening results due to better media contact.
Over the longer term, this component’s durable plastic construction resists corrosion and sediment buildup, reducing the need for frequent replacements or maintenance. Expect reliable performance as part of your ongoing water treatment setup.
