How W.E.T. Works
Smart, Adaptive Regeneration
Traditional softeners regenerate the entire media bed whether it is fully used or not, wasting salt, water, and energy. W.E.T. technology uses five integrated control features that continuously analyze system performance and adjust each cleaning cycle to the exact amount of resin that has actually been exhausted.
Instead of “over-cleaning” unused media, W.E.T. targets only the portion of the bed that needs regeneration, delivering measurable savings without sacrificing softening capacity or water quality.
Core W.E.T. Features
Proportional Brining
Produces only the amount of brine needed to regenerate the portion of resin that has actually been used, reducing salt consumption and operating cost.
Proportional Regeneration
Adjusts backwash and rinse volumes to match real media usage, cutting water waste during each cleaning cycle.
Alternate Regeneration
Periodically performs a deeper cleaning cycle to prevent resin fatigue and maintain long-term softening performance.
Salt Monitor
Electronically verifies brine strength and alerts homeowners when salt levels are low to prevent incomplete regeneration.
Savings History Screen
Tracks actual salt and water usage and compares it to a conventional softener, displaying cumulative efficiency gains over time.
Performance Benefits
Engineered Efficiency with No Compromise
W.E.T. systems combine adaptive control logic with counter-current regeneration and precision flow management to deliver both resource conservation and superior softening performance.
Left unmanaged, conventional regeneration can result in:
- Unnecessary salt overuse
- Excessive wastewater discharge
- Reduced resin lifespan
- Higher operating costs
W.E.T. technology addresses these issues by:
- Matching regeneration volume to resin loading
- Maintaining optimal exchange zone efficiency
- Reducing energy used for water heating and pumping
- Lowering environmental impact through resource conservation
