Model: AR460i

What makes the QWS Superior to most other meter-type water softeners?

Other water softeners with simple, meter-type control systems regenerate after a fixed amount of water has passed through the meter. These units have a preset reserve capacity to carry through the day until the unit regenerates at night. If your usage increases, the reserve capacity may not be enough and you can run out of soft water

Water usage in a home can vary as much as 400% day-to-day. What’s more, major changes in water usage can occur for many reasons: vacations, a change in family size, the addition of another bathroom, a new appliance, changing seasons, just to name a few. A mechanical meter can’t adjust the reserve for these changes.

The 460i series softener doesn’t operate on a fixed time or water volume basis.

What’s the secret? The 460i control has an electronic computer that measures how much soft water your family actually uses day-after-day. It continually monitors changes in usage and regenerates only when necessary.

Self adjusting reserve capacity. The 460i knows exactly how much soft water you use each day, and adjusts the reserve capacity to meet your actual usage. As a result, the reserve is kept at a minimum for optimum efficiency.

Exceptionally efficient. The 460i never regenerates to late or too soon. Your family will enjoy a continuous supply of soft water and you will realize substantial savings in salt and water.

Design reliability. With it’s solid state electronics you can depend on the 460i for years of trouble-free performance. It’s metering system has only one moving part…a rotating turbine that measures water and sends the magnetic impulses to the computer.

Superior valve design. The 255 valve is the only frictionless valve on the market today. With it’s unique valve disc design there are no seals to leak due to wear and fatigue. And what’s more they are held closed by water pressure and are leak tight.

Operating simplicity. When your water softener is installed in your home, the proper hardness, capacity, and your family’s water usage is “locked” into the computers memory. No homeowner adjustments are necessary.
