Why ProFlow?

Once you understand water softening, you’ll never go back to hard water—the benefits that come with soft water far outweigh the price at which soft water comes. But when it comes down to it, all water softeners soften water, what makes the ProFlow stand out from the crowd?

The short answer is ProFlow’s unique high-flow capability, a feature that sets ProFlow apart as a “code-meeting” softener. Because most water softeners are installed after a home is built, most plumbers can exploit a loophole in the plumbing code: You only have to meet code when the home completes construction.* After the homeowner moves in, you don’t have to meet code anymore—and most water softeners don’t.

But does that render the plumbing code irrelevant? Of course not: the plumbing code is the minimum recommendation for safe, healthy, efficient, enjoyable plumbing. ProFlow Eliminator protects you from the following difficulties you may encounter with other softeners you may experience the following:

• NO MORE flow-drops (if you have any other water-consuming fixture or appliance in service). A properly sized ProFlow Eliminator system ensures you will not encounter flow-drop, even if multiple fixtures or appliances are engaged. The ProFlow Eliminator is WQA S-100 Certified: meaning its flow rate is certified higher than other systems—meeting plumbing code where most water softeners do not. Flow is measured in gallons per minute (GPM), and you can compare systems based on their flows. (product information available from www.wqa.org)

• NO MORE excessive regeneration. Most water softeners purchased from big-box stores are undersized for most applications. The ProFlow Eliminator system will be properly sized by your plumbing professional.

• NO MORE hard-water bleed. Undersized units cannot provide adequate softening capability to cover your water demand. A properly sized ProFlow Eliminator ensures you will have sufficient softening capability no matter how much you demand.

• NO MORE excessive salt usage. Most water softeners clean 4,000 grains optimum (3,800 grains actual) of softening resin with one pound of salt. The ProFlow Eliminator is WQA S-100 Certified: meaning its salt efficiency is certified higher than other systems: you won’t have replace salt as often. The ProFlow Eliminator cleans 4,500 grains (WQA tested and certified results) per one pound of salt. That means fewer trips to the store to purchase salt—saving you money.

• NO MORE excessive water usage: Because undersized systems regenerate more often, water consumption increases. ProFlow Eliminators ensure you have the lowest regeneration to soft-water-production ratio—thereby saving you the cost of additional water consumption.

*All building codes are structured this way to protect against cases in which a person has lived in a home for many years but then moves out of the “out-of-code” home. In the time of residency, the codes have advanced, usually putting the home out of code. If the home had to be renovated to meet code, it may cost thousands of dollars. Most long-term residents are older people who can ill afford several thousands of dollars to renovate a home before they move. For this reason codes are not “enforced” on existing homes unless there is a serious public concern.
