Parc Ferme Water Softening Cartridge

Want those water spots gone?! This is your answer! This softening cartridge will neutralize the calcium and magnesium ions with sodium ions, making the water "slippery", therefore allowing the water to sheet off the vehicle easier. Dont let hard water ruin your vehicles finish. This is a simple, cost effective way to ensure a safer way to wash your vehicle. This cartridge is the perfect match with our Garden Hose Filter Canister. Want to know the best part? Its reusable... indefinitely!!! Here's how: Buy a bag of standard water softener salt. It usually costs about $5 for a fifty pound bag. It's sold in feed stores, home stores, and large discount stores. Pour a generous amount of softener salt into a large pan or bucket. We used a plastic dishpan for our experiment. Fill the pan with water until it covers the salt. But don't overdo it. You want to make some very salty water. Put your spent softening cartridge into the pan of salty water and let it sit at least overnight. (It won't hurt it to stay there indefinitely, so you might just store it there between car washes.) The salty water, brine, will dislodge the calcium (hardness) buildup on the resin and replace it with sodium. It won't quite make the resin as good as new (not even a commercial water softener does that), but it will recharge the cartridge considerably, and you should be able to reuse it almost indefinitely. You might consider buying a spare cartridge or two so that one can be recharged while another is in use. The useful life between regenerations, of course, depends upon the hardness of your water. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The chart below expresses the theoretical performance capacity of our water softening cartridge. It assumes the standard 32,000 grain per cubic foot capacity of new cation softening resin. Figures for regenerated resin are lower. The chart is for informational use only and is not a guarantee of performance. Actual performance can be influenced by a number of variables. Cartridge Size - 2.5" X 9.75" Actual Size of resin chamber - 2.75" X 7" Cu. Inch Capacity - 41.75 Cu. Ft. Capacity - 0.024 Gallons of 7 Grains Per Gallon Water Treated - 105 Gallons of 15 Grains Per Gallon Water Treated - 45 Gallons of 40 Grains Per Gallon Water Treated - 15
