Twin Alternating
Series PWS10T
Commercial Water Softening
Systems
Connection Size: 1" (25mm)
Flow Rates: Up to 25 gpm (94 lpm)
Watts Pure Water Series PWS10T water softening systems are
highly efficient, twin alternating, conventional cation exchange
type water softeners. They are designed to supply continuous
softened water without interruption.
Series PWS10T water softeners are suitable for commercial
applications ranging from 30,000 to 120,000 grains of hard-
ness removal per tank and flow rates up to 25 gallons per min-
ute (94 lpm). Regeneration is meter demand initiated. All cycles
of regeneration are fully automatic and do not require manual
actuation.
Watts Pure Water Series PWS10T water softeners are
designed for point-of-use or point-of-entry applications where
the benefits of softened water are required and water demand
is round the clock. These systems exchange scale-forming cal-
cium and magnesium ions with non scale-forming sodium ions
to create soft water for a variety of applications. Steam boiler
make up water, water heater pretreatment, reverse osmosis
pretreatment, cooling tower make up water, sterilizer make up
water, washing, and process water are all common applica-
tions for the Watts Pure Water Series PWS10T water softeners.
Softened water provides a wide variety of benefits from not
introducing scale into pipes, valves, water heating equipment,
heat exchangers, and cooling towers to reducing mineral build
up in areas that see excessive splashing such as food prepara-
tion counters and sink areas. Softened water also conserves
soaps and cleaning agents by eliminating the formation of soap
curd, so your cleaners can work on cleaning – not reacting
with the hardness in your water.

Specifications
A Watts Pure Water Series PWS10T water softening system
shall be installed on the building’s main water line just after
it enters the building. The installation point shall be after any
backflow prevention or pressure regulating valves. Other instal-
lation options are to install a system just before the water
heater or other types of equipment needing the protection of
softened water. In installations where the dedicated cold water
make up to a water heater is the installation point, a backflow
preventer and a thermal expansion tank must be installed as
well. The system shall be installed with a bypass valve to allow
for the shut down and removal of the unit without interrupting
the water supply to the building.
The water softener shall be a down flow regenerated, metered
demand, sodium cycle cation exchange type system with all
components necessary for proper operation. Electrical require-
ments are 120 volt 60 hertz. A local drain is required to accept
drain water from the system. The feed water pressure must not
fall below 25psi or exceed 125psi. Water temperature must not
fall below 34°F or exceed 110°F (1°C to 43°C).
The system shall provide softened water measuring less than
one grain per gallon of hardness as Calcium Carbonate when
operated within the manufacturer’s operational specifications.
