Wetspot
is the original portable water softening system. Wetspot works
basically the same way as a residential or commercial water
softener, only it's been designed to be portable and is
recharged manually, requiring no electrical hook up! Wetspot is
also designed to last-they are constructed out of strong, low
maintenance materials that can withstand even harsh marine
environments. PVC, aluminum, brass hose fittings, rubber wheels,
even our labels are manufactured of a specialized material!
The resins that we use have been known to last for up to 30
years and more, before requiring replacement, so we offer a 12
year performance guarantee, with total confidence! Aside from
recharging your unit with common rock salt, (approx. 12-15
minutes monthly), the only maintenance necessary to keep your
WET SPOT PLUS looking new is to apply a little wax to the end
caps, and replace the label every few years! We also recommend
that you run our Conditioner through the unit every 6 months.
How does it work?
Wetspot removes the hardness by using a resin.
The resin carries sodium. When the hard water carrying the
dissolved calcium and magnesium come in contact with the resin,
the resin releases the sodium and grabs onto the calcium and
magnesium ions that are making them hard. Thus, releasing a
softer water. If there is dissolved manganese and/or iron in the
water, Wetspot can also remove them.
Why use a
Wetspot?
Using softwater will help ensure a lasting finish
on Boats, RVs, autos, aircraft, etc. The harmful elements left
in hard water can dramatically shorten the life of most
finishes.
Soft water is much more beneficial to hair and
skin. Hard water may leave a film on skin and possibly cause
skin irritations. Hard water may also leave behind minerals that
can change your hair’s true color. Soft water leaves behind
shiny, soft hair that is more manageable. Skin feels soft and
smooth.
Soft water also ensures the purest flavor when
cooking-because there are no unwanted minerals adding unwanted
flavors to foods and beverages-ice tea, coffee, etc. Also, as
these deposits build up they reduce the efficiency of heat
transfer, so food may not cook as evenly or quickly in pans with
large scale deposits
Any appliances and plumbing that use water are
also at risk for the abuses of hard water. The dishwasher,
washing machine, coffee makers, and other on-board pumps, etc.
will have deposits left behind if they are using hard water.
When the deposits start building up, supply hoses and water
outlets can slow down or become clogged. If soft water is used
to run these appliances then there is less maintenance and less
chance early replacement of equipment.
Hard water requires more soap and synthetic
detergents for laundry and washing, and contributes to scaling
in boilers and industrial equipment. .
The American Institute of Laundering reported that laundry costs
almost double when water with a hardness of 5 gpg (grains per
gallon) is used versus when water with a hardness of less than 1
gpg is used. It has also been documented that when using water
with less than 1 gpg hardness:
A) linens last twice as long
B) soap consumption is less
C) washing times are less
