Product Summary
Any home is a big investment. Adding a GE whole house water filter system helps reduce sediment, sand and rust at the main water supply so there’s less build up inside water heaters, pipes, dishwashers and other appliances and fixtures.
GE water softeners help reduce scale buildup, making tubs, showers and sinks easy to clean. You will also enjoy the look and feel of fabrics that are soft, clean and long-lasting.
Construction and Materials
This GE Appliances water softener is designed to effectively reduce hardness minerals in your water supply, offering a more pleasant and efficient household experience. The unit is constructed with durable, high-quality materials to ensure longevity and reliable performance.
Key construction features include:
- High-Impact Plastic Tank: The brine tank and resin tank are typically made from robust, NSF-certified high-impact plastic. This material is resistant to corrosion and cracking, ensuring a long service life and safe handling of water.
- Internal Components: The softener's internal workings, including the control valve and distributor tube, are engineered for smooth operation and efficient water flow. These components are typically made from corrosion-resistant materials to withstand constant contact with water and salt.
- Control Head: The electronic control head, often made from durable ABS plastic, houses the sophisticated electronics that manage the water softening regeneration cycles. This user-friendly interface allows for easy programming and monitoring of the unit's performance.
Materials commonly utilized in GE Appliances water softeners include:
- Ion Exchange Resin: The heart of the water softener is the ion exchange resin. This specialized media is a porous polymer that has been treated to attract and hold calcium and magnesium ions (the primary components of hard water). As water passes through the resin bed, these hardness minerals are exchanged for sodium ions.
- Salt (Sodium Chloride or Potassium Chloride): Salt is used to regenerate the ion exchange resin. During the regeneration cycle, a concentrated brine solution is flushed through the resin bed, washing away the accumulated hardness minerals and replenishing the resin with sodium ions.
- Durable Plastics: As mentioned, high-impact, NSF-certified plastics are extensively used for the tanks and structural components, ensuring safety and durability.
- Corrosion-Resistant Metals: Internal valve components and plumbing connections may incorporate corrosion-resistant metals to prevent degradation and ensure leak-free operation.
The construction and material selection for GE Appliances water softeners prioritize:
- Durability: To withstand the rigors of continuous operation and varying water conditions.
- Water Safety: Utilizing NSF-certified materials that are safe for contact with potable water.
- Efficiency: Designing components for optimal water flow and effective ion exchange.
- Ease of Use: Incorporating intuitive control systems for user convenience.
