Introducing Water Efficient Technology (W.E.T.)
The Softener
with a Brain.
Our W.E.T. Technology will help you save water, salt and money! Learn more below.
Water Efficient Technology (W.E.T.)
is a series of patented features that provide savings throughout our Evolve Series water softeners.
Imagine running a load of laundry, with a full cup of soap, for only one pair of socks. You wouldn’t do that because it would be wasteful, but that’s exactly how a traditional softener cleans itself.
Regular water softeners will use enough water and salt to clean the whole system, even if there is unused media inside.
Why waste resources on media that doesn’t need to be cleaned? W.E.T. creates a smarter system to save salt, water, energy and the planet.
W.E.T. could save you 50% on salt and water!
How Does W.E.T. Work?
Five different features qualify as Water Efficient Technology.
Each has a specific purpose to ensure the system is running at maximum efficiency at all times.
Every W.E.T. component can be activated by itself, or use all five for the most savings!
Learn what each feature does on the following pages.
- History Screen W.E.T. watches how much salt and water your system uses during its cleaning cycles.
- Salt Monitor Our Salt Monitor tests the salt water solution every time it enters the tank.
- Alternate Regeneration Alternate Regeneration keeps your system from feeling fatigued by occasionally activating a deeper clean.
- Proportional Regeneration Reduces the amount of water drawn in the “backwash” and “rinse” cycles.
- Proportional Brining Will make only enough salt water to clean the amount of media you have used.
Benefits of W.E.T Technology
Proportional Brining Reduces Salt Waste
Water softeners use salt water (brine) to clean the used media in the tank.
Normal systems will create enough salt water to clean all of the media.
Proportional Brining will make only enough salt water to clean the amount of media you have used. This leads to salt savings every time it is cleaned.
Proportional Regeneration Reduces Water Waste
Softeners have a “backwash” and “rinse” cycle during a cleaning process.
Normal systems use enough water to flush a full tank during both cycles.
Proportional Regeneration reduces the amount of water drawn in the “backwash” and “rinse” cycles to match the amount of media that has been used. This feature saves water every time your unit cleans itself.
Alternate Regeneration Maintains Performance
Reducing the amount of salt and water to clean your system can make the media tired and less effective over time.
Alternate Regeneration keeps your system from feeling fatigued by occasionally activating a deeper clean.
Running lighter cleaning cycles and targeted deep cleaning cycles is the perfect solution to saving money without sacrificing performance.
Salt Monitor Prevents Salt Depletion
Adding salt to your brine tank is an important task — like adding oil to a car when levels are low. Unlike a car, your water softener is easy to forget about.
Our Salt Monitor tests the salt water solution every time it enters the tank.
When salt levels become too low, it triggers an alarm to remind you to add salt.
Savings History Screen Calculates Savings
How do you know these features are working? Well, we will prove it to you!
W.E.T. watches how much salt and water your system uses during its cleaning cycles.
The Savings History Screen compares your numbers to a regular softener, then shows how much less you’ve used than that system.
