Speaker: Tyler Gamble, M. Eng, Commercial Product Applications Manager, Canature WaterGroup; With droughts increasing in number and severity due to climate change, water conservation awareness is at an all-time high.. Water softeners are traditionally thought of as water wasters. In some parts of the world, their use is heavily regulated due to the elevated waste volumes and wastewater issues they can produce. With this in mind, new ways of thinking regarding the design and operational use must be considered so that the added benefits of soft water do not conflict with current water conservation strategies. This presentation will show how a shift in thinking about water softeners can reduce the amount of water and salt consumed during softener operation, and therefore increase the operational efficiency of the softener.
