Amberlite PWC14

Summary

Product identification

AMBERLITE™ PWC14 Resin is a high-strength, cation exchange resin designed for municipal water softening. It can also be used to remove radium during the softening process.

• Minimum contact time: 20 minutes
• Rinse water requirements: 3 – 10 bed volumes (25 – 75 gal/ft³)

Commissioning and Limits of Use

AMBERLITE PWC14 resin is suitable for potable water applications after an initial commissioning rinse of 10 bed volumes of water at ambient temperature within 1 hour. The operating capacity depends on the operating and feed water conditions.

Regulatory

AMBERLITE PWC14 resin is certified to ANSI / NSF Standard 61 for drinking water components. Resin products are manufactured in ISO 9001 certified facilities.
