4 companies list this product among what they make. Company figures are quoted from each company's own website; every card states where the relationship came from.
Manufacturer listings support early research and capability understanding. They are not certification, ranking, or transaction guarantees.
A practical evidence checklist for RFQ preparation and supplier evaluation.
CNFX does not score or rank suppliers. Buyers must verify all claims and documents with the legal manufacturer before ordering.
The rated flow rate is listed as 0.5–10 m³/h, depending on resin volume and water hardness. Confirm the exact value for your specific model and application with the manufacturer.
The vessel may be made of fiberglass-reinforced plastic (FRP) or carbon steel, with piping and valves in PVC or stainless steel. The tank material is specified as stainless steel grade 304–316 (ASTM A240). Verify material compatibility with your water chemistry.
Regeneration involves flushing the resin bed with a concentrated brine (sodium chloride) solution. This reverses the ion exchange, replenishing the resin with sodium ions and flushing out accumulated calcium and magnesium ions to drain.
The listed standards include ISO 7005 for connections, IEC 60038 for control voltage, IEC 60529 for enclosure protection, and ASTM A240 for tank material. These are reference standards; verify compliance with the manufacturer.
