Aldex C-800 Water Softening Resin
NSF/ANSI 44, 61 and 372 Certified. Aldex C-800 is a high capacity, high quality, gel-type cation resin capable of meeting the most exacting requirements of household, farm, commercial, institutional and industrial water softeners. It is supplied in the sodium form as black colored translucent beads in 1 cubic foot bags and larger bulk packages.
- No Chlorinated Solvents
- Very low color, taste or odor
- High Capacity
- Long Life
- Iron – Aldex C-800 will remove most of the dissolved iron, can filter much of the suspended iron and may or may not remove organically bound iron from water. When softeners are used to remove iron from the water, periodic cleaning of the bed mechanically or with a chemical iron cleaner may be necessary.
- Chlorine – All cation exchange resins are affected by chlorine and suffer degradation and swelling. It is recommended that the chlorine in the water be maintained below 1.0 ppm when using Aldex C-800.
Aldex C-800 should be backwashed for at least 10 minutes after each service cycle in a conventionally down flow regenerated softener. To reclassify the beads and remove suspended solids from the top of the bed, the resin bed should be expanded at least 50% according to Fig. 2. In the case of non-conventional or upflow regenerated softeners, it may not be necessary to follow the above procedure since the backwash and brine injection are incorporated in the same step.
