Crystal Quest® water softeners are engineered for maximum filtration and maximum performance with minimum maintenance. They deliver trouble free operation for many years. It is the most advanced and effective water softeners in the market for the following reasons:
• First, water travels through a 20" sediment cartridge that removes sediment, silt, sand and dirt. Also this extends the life of water softeners and water filters, and prevents damage to control valves or pumps.
• Next, water travels through a 1.5 or 2.0 cubic foot media tank with an Automatic Microprocessor Control valve. (The longer amount of time that the water is in contact with the media, the more effective is the conditioning and filtering of the water.)
• Finally, water travels through a 20" solid carbon cartridge for a final conditioning of the water and removing any remaining contaminates and VOC's which may be in the water.

Due to the nature of the water bed sub-soil structure, water hardness may vary from one source to another within general area.

Water is hard when it contains minerals like magnesium and calcium. You may see staining on your sinks, tubs, showers, and clothing. You may also notice less lather from your shampoos and soaps and even a feeling of film on your skin. All these are symptoms of the need for softened water.
Also hard water causes a higher risk of lime scale deposits in household water systems. Due to this lime scale build-up, pipes are blocked and the efficiency of hot boilers and tanks is reduced. This increases the cost of domestic water heating by about fifteen to twenty percent. Another negative effect of lime scale is that it has damaging effects on household machinery, such as laundry machines. Water softening means expanding the life span of household machine, such as laundry machines, and the life span of pipelines. It also contributes to the improved working, and longer lifespan of solar heating systems, air conditioning units and many other water-based applications.
Water is softened or conditioned by replacing hard ions like magnesium and calcium with softer sodium or potassium ions. Water softeners must be regenerated regularly, renewing their ability to remove hardness from water. Time-initiated or solid state softeners regenerate at a fixed time when their softening capacity is predicted to be low. Demand-initiated softeners regenerate automatically when they sense their capacity is low.
CRYSTAL QUEST® Water Softener is engineered for maximum performance with minimum maintenance. All components are the highest quality in the industry and NSF approved. Deliver trouble free operation for many years with reliable service.
• Keeps skin and hair healthy looking
• Dishes are cleaner, with less soap and hard water spotting
• Tubs, showers, and sinks are easier to clean, thanks to reduced hard water build-up
• Clothes are softer, cleaner, brighter, and last longer
• Keeps all fixtures from scaling and corrosion
• Saves time, money and  energy
• Towels washed in water softened by Crystal Quest softeners need 1/3 less detergent and come out 45% whiter

WS 1.5 and WS 2.0 Water Softener
Water travels through 3 stages of filtration:
• First stage, water flows through a 20" sediment cartridge that removes sediment, silt, sand and dirt. Also extends the life of water softeners and water filters, and prevents damage to control valves or pumps.
• Second stage, water flows through an ion exchange mineral tank and brine water conditioner.
• Third stage, water flows through a 20" solid carbon cartridge for removing volatile organic carbon compounds (VOC's, insecticides, pesticides and industrial solvents).
• Poly Glass™ mineral tank filled with high capacity ion exchange resin.
• Brine water mineral exchange tank.
• Riser style 1" internal flow distributor.
• Solid state microprocessor with LED display Electronics control valve.
• 11.0 gallon-per-minute flow rate.
• 3/4" or 1" Stainless Steel Bypass Valve.
• NSF certified components.
