Iron Guard for Cleaner, Softer water.

Combining proven water softener capabilities with the ability to remove clear water iron, the Iron Guard system provides an effective and economical solution to hard and iron contaminated water. In addition, Iron Guard Plus, is specially designed for application in low pH (acidic) water. Hard water contains dissolved calcium and magnesium which build up inside your water heater, plumbing fixtures and appliances. The minerals also react with soap to form a scum which appears as bathtub ring, greys your laundry and leaves your hair dull and your skin itchy. Iron water leaves yellow, orange or brown stains on your laundry, sinks, tubs and toilets.

How it Works

Iron Guard contains a bed of fine mesh ion exchange resin beads. As water passes through the bed, calcium and magnesium, the hardness minerals, and any clear water iron is removed and held by the resin. The Iron Guard Plus bed contains calcium carbonate in addition to the fine mesh ion exchange resin. This media combines to raise low pH water to prevent corrosion. Eventually, the resin beads become saturated and must be regenerated. A brine solution is drawn into the bed to drive out the accumulated minerals. This process is called ion exchange. After the minerals and brine are rinsed out with fresh water, the regenerated resin is ready to soften your water again. The demand regeneration control valve includes a metering system which monitors your soft water use, regenerating only when necessary based on your water usage. Consequently, you save salt, water and money.
