Excalibur Chlor-A-Soft Series Water Softener Plus – Supplied & Professionally Installed by 4Most Energy
The Excalibur Chlor-A-Soft Series Water Softener Plus is designed as a combination municipal-water treatment system, bringing water softening and filtration together in one installation. The manufacturer describes the system as using two media types, with the technical manual specifying a media blend containing 80% softening resin and 20% coconut shell carbon media. The manufacturer brochure states that the system provides softened and filtered water while removing chlorine and volatile chemicals, with additional references to THMs and VOCs.
Professional sizing is important because the available configurations have different capacities and flow characteristics. The manufacturer's technical documentation provides different capacity, salt-setting and flow values across the system range, while the brochure identifies the SPREF30, SPREF45 and SPREF60 configurations.
Installation requires suitable water pressure, temperature, drainage and electrical service. The installation manual specifies 40–110 psi water pressure, 40–110°F water temperature and an uninterrupted 115/120 V, 60 Hz electrical outlet, with 0.5 A current required by the plug-in transformer. The tank should be installed on a firm, level surface.
The system also requires proper plumbing, a bypass valve, brine connection and drain connection. The manual specifies 3/8" O.D. polyethylene tubing for the brine line and 1/2" tubing for the drain line, with required air-gap and drain-installation provisions. Municipal installations shown by the manufacturer require the water heater inlet to be at least 10 feet from the water conditioner. All plumbing must comply with applicable local plumbing codes.
4Most Energy can assess the installation location, water-treatment requirements and system capacity before installation to help ensure the selected configuration is appropriate for the property.
