Excalibur Essential Series Water Softener – Supplied & Professionally Installed by 4Most Energy
The Excalibur Essential Series is designed as a whole-home water softening system with an electronic demand-control design. The system regenerates based on demand, rather than operating solely on a fixed schedule, and the manufacturer describes it as a water-saving design that uses less salt and water during operation.
The system uses a high-flow control valve intended to satisfy household soft-water demand. The manufacturer lists applications for municipal water, well water, and lake water, making the system suitable for different residential water sources when properly sized and configured.
Installation requires suitable plumbing connections, a drain connection, a brine line to the salt tank, and an uninterrupted electrical supply. The installation manual specifies 40–110 psi water pressure, 40–110°F (4.4–43°C) water temperature, and a 115/120 V, 60 Hz uninterrupted outlet. The control system operates through a 12-volt AC adapter.
The softener should be installed on a firm, level surface and positioned close to a suitable drain. For installations shown in the manufacturer's plumbing diagrams, the water heater inlet should be at least 10 feet from the softener. Local plumbing requirements must also be followed.
Proper system sizing is important. The installation manual requires the installer/dealer to configure hardness, regeneration settings, capacity, and salt usage according to the water conditions and selected system. A water test can therefore be an important part of selecting and commissioning the appropriate Essential Series model.
