Nelsen 600K Commercial Water Softener — Mineral Tank

Nelsen 600,000-Grain Commercial Water Softeners

The Nelsen 600,000-grain commercial water softener family is designed to deliver reliable, high-capacity water softening for a variety of industrial and commercial applications. Each model in this family features a robust Mineral Tank capable of handling up to 600,000 grains of hardness removal, suitable for medium to large facilities requiring efficient water treatment to protect equipment and improve process water quality.

Capacity and Facility Suitability

With a 600,000-grain capacity, these systems are ideal for facilities with moderate to high hardness levels and flow demands. Typical applications include boiler feed water, cooling towers, commercial laundries, food service operations, and multi-unit housing complexes. This capacity supports continuous operations and reduces downtime by extending the interval between regenerations.

Twin and Alternating Softening Explained

Several configurations in this product family utilize twin-tank or alternating operation modes, which enhance system uptime and efficiency. Alternating softeners use two tanks that operate in sequence: while one tank is actively softening water, the other undergoes regeneration. This ensures uninterrupted soft water supply, critical for processes sensitive to hardness fluctuations. The alternating operation also balances resin usage across both tanks, extending media life and optimizing regeneration cycles.

Control Valve Configurations

The Nelsen 600,000-grain family offers a range of control valve options to meet diverse operational needs and preferences. These valves govern regeneration timing and flow control, available in metered demand, time-clock, and advanced alternating models.

• WS2H Mtr (Metered Demand): This configuration regenerates based on actual water usage, measured by a meter. It conserves water and salt by initiating regeneration only when needed, making it ideal for facilities with variable demand.
• WS2H TA (Time-Clock): A simple time-clock valve triggers regeneration at preset intervals regardless of water usage. This is suitable for operations with consistent water flow or where predictable scheduling is preferred.
• WS2QC Mtr (Quick Connect Metered): Similar to the WS2H Mtr but equipped with quick-connect fittings for faster installation and service. This model is beneficial where downtime must be minimized and ease of maintenance is critical.
• WS2QC-S4 (Quick Connect S4 Alternating): Featuring the S4 alternating control valve with quick-connect capabilities, this variant supports twin-tank alternating operation with effortless installation and servicing. It ensures continuous supply and optimized resin regeneration cycles.
• WS2QC-TA (Quick Connect Time-Clock): This model combines time-clock regeneration with quick-connect fittings, offering a balance of predictable regeneration scheduling and streamlined maintenance.
• WS3 Mtr (Metered Demand): The WS3 series valve provides metered demand regeneration with enhanced features, suited for facilities prioritizing water and salt savings in demanding environments.
• WS3 TA (Time-Clock): Offers reliable time-clock regeneration control for consistent operation schedules in larger commercial settings.

Applications

The Nelsen 600,000-grain commercial softeners serve a broad range of sectors:
