How Does a ProMate6 DMT Water Softener Work?

Raw water enters the upper chamber in the DMT
conditioner
and passes down through the activated
carbon ltration media
where chlorine and adverse
taste and odors are removed.
The water then enters the lower chamber of the DMT
conditioner containing softening resin, charged with
sodium ions. The hard water minerals (calcium and
magnesium) are attracted to the softening resin and
equal amount of sodium ions are displaced off the
resin into the water supply.
As water reaches the bottom of the tank, it exits up
through the center of the tank, soft and free of chlo-
rine, ready for use in your home or business.
When softening resin is saturated with hard water
minerals, it must be recharged. A strong salt solution
ushes the calcium and magnesium off the resin and
the resin is recharged with sodium. The brine solu-
tion from your brine tank is the fuel to recharge the
resin beads with sodium.
The activated carbon in the upper chamber eventu-
ally will be consumed with the removal of chlorine
and taste and odors and can be easily replaced by
your Hellenbrand Dealer.

Life is hard - especially if you have hard water in your home. Hard water creates scale, which can shorten the life of your pipes, water
heater, dishwasher and washing machine. Hard water deposits stain sinks and bathtubs, spot glasses and dishes, and leave your laundry
dull and dingy. Put an end to your problem water with a ProMate6.0 DMT. Why not make the switch today?

Raw water enters the upper chamber in the DMT
conditioner containing softening resin, which is
charged with sodium ions. The hard water ions
(calcium & magnesium) are attracted to the softening
resin and an equal amount of sodium is bumped off
into the water supply.
Once the softened water leaves the upper chamber,
it passes down through the lower chamber where the
tannin removal resin removes the tannins in your
water supply. (Tannins originate from decaying plant
and vegetative matter creating stained water and
create a yellow to brown color in water.)
When the water reaches the bottom of the tank, it
exits up through the center of the tank, soft and free of
tannins, ready for use in your home or business.
Eventually the ion exchange resin in both the upper
and lower chamber must be recharged. The same
strong salt solution from your brine tank recharges
both chambers of resin at once, starting the process
all over again. The brine solution from your brine tank
is the fuel to recharge the resin beads with sodium.

Why the DMT is Better
• One unit instead of two.
• Uses less salt.
• Uses less water.
• Fewer parts = fewer problems.
• Smart control automatically adjusts to your families
changing water usage patterns.
• Super scrub feature keeps your system operating at
peak efficiency.
The Vortech™ Mid Plate allows us to have a separate
chamber(s) within a tank to use multiple water treatment
medias to effectively treat multiple water problems with
one system.
The Vortech™ Bottom Plate provides substantially more
slotted surface area than a cone type distributor. This
additional area enhances the cleaning ability during
regeneration, reduces pressure drop and improves
efciency.
