Water Softener Operation

Water softeners remove unwanted minerals from the water supply. Wolfe is one of only two companies in the Hudson Valley that have been certified to sell the Sanitizer® by WaterRight®

Below is an graphic that illustrates how water softners work.

Steps:

BrineTank is 2/3 filled with Salt Crystals

Untreated Water enters Brine tank and becomes saturated with salt (sodium)

Sodium saturated water transferred to Resin Tank

Polystyrene Beads attract the Sodium Molecules
Unneeded extra salt water is purged to waste line
The Resin Tank is now ready to treat Hard Water

Untreated (Hard) Water enter Resin Tank

Calcium & Magnesium (Hard Water) trade places with Sodium Molecules
Calcium & Magnesium are now attached to Polystyrene Beads
(No more Sodium Molecules to trade? Go back to Step #3)

Softened Water is released to household.

I just wanted to shoot you a quick note to let you know how happy I've been and continue to be with Wolfe.

Previously, I had another company handling my furnace/AC and they were truly atrocious . . . it's as if they didn't know how to do anything. THEN, I met someone at Wolfe at a home show and it's been smooth sailing since. Every question I ask gets answered, I know what to expect and when. AND, what a courteous company -- you always call if you're going to be late or if you need to move an appointment. It's amazing.

The company is wonderful to deal with and YOU are especially a pleasure! Thank you and we look forward to our continued relationship with Wolfe in the coming years!
