Excalibur – Premium Water Softener, 60K

Description

IN-STORE PICKUP ONLY

The Excalibur Premium Series Water Softener (60 000 grain) is a high-efficiency, fully automatic whole-house water softening system built to tackle hard water and clear water iron problems in residential settings. Designed by Excalibur Water Systems — a longtime Canadian manufacturer — this softener uses demand-initiated regeneration and a high-flow control valve to deliver soft water on demand while minimizing salt and water usage.

Key Features

• 60 000 grain softening capacity: Effectively reduces hardness minerals (calcium & magnesium) to protect plumbing, fixtures, and appliances from scale buildup.
• High-efficiency electronic control: Automatically measures usage and regenerates only when needed — saving salt and water relative to traditional timer systems.
• Removes clear water iron (up to ~5 ppm): Helps tackle common municipal and well water issues without a separate iron filter.
• Low operating costs: Uses a 12 V AC transformer drawing minimal power (~$3/year), and regeneration typically uses as little as ~2.5 lbs of salt and ~17 gallons of water (varies with settings/conditions).
• High-flow performance: Premium flow control valve ensures strong flow rates to meet household demand without pressure drop.
• Backwash & self-diagnostic features: Automatic backwash keeps resin clean, and diagnostics help the system adjust to changing water conditions.
• 20-year unlimited warranty: Industry-leading coverage for long-term peace of mind.

Compatibility

This softener is ideal for homes requiring:

• Whole-house water softening for medium to high water usage families
• Municipal or well water supplies prone to hardness and mild iron staining
• Pre-treatment ahead of appliances like dishwashers, washing machines, and water heaters to extend service life and efficiency
• The system supports sodium chloride or potassium chloride regeneration media for flexibility based on household preferences.

Maintenance

• Salt refill: Check and refill the brine tank with salt (sodium or potassium) periodically — most homeowners do this every 4–8 weeks depending on usage and settings.
• Inspect resin: Over many years, resin life may diminish; monitor water softness to determine when professional resin replacement is needed.
• Bypass valve check: If your install includes a bypass, occasionally verify operation for easy servicing.
• Control settings: Periodically check the electronic settings to ensure regeneration logic matches household usage patterns.
• Routine service: Although designed to be low maintenance, annual inspection by a qualified technician helps long-term performance.

Why Choose This Softener

• Efficient, demand-based regeneration that saves water and salt compared with timer-based units.
