SOFTENER TANKLESS Q & A
Hot Water Filtration …What are my options???
I have a forced hot water boiler via tankless coil hot water heater. Water has heavy iron and other typical minerals. Screen on hot water side of washing machine CONSTANTLY plugs up. Already double cartidges on domestic cold before boiler, I know I should get a softener system, but are there any other COST EFFECTIVE options? Does a cheap in-line screen (near washing machine)or filter system exist that can reliably withstand 170Deg. heat? Standard cartridge filter systems will fail on hot water systems. I just want to stop doing weekly maintence on the Washing machine. I’ve almost worn out the plastic inlet on it, which means a $100 soleniod replacement when you strip that out! Any Suggestions welcome!!
The iron is dissolved in the water and must be removed via oxidation. A water softener is capable of removing small amounts of iron and will need more frequent regeneration. Potassium permanganate or chlorine are also used in treatment systems and are better suited for iron removal.
Particulate filters such as those you are using will remove solids from the water but not dissolved elements. I have a pair of particulate filters at the input to my water softener to help keep it clean inside.
