ProMate 6 Series Home Water Softener
Salt-based softeners are more environmentally friendly and are more energy efficient than salt-free softeners simply due to their effectiveness.
New Mexico State University's research on energy use and water softeners concluded that electric water heaters using salt-softened water save more than 22% energy consumption. That savings goes up to 30% for gas heaters. The energy used by ProMate 6.0 costs less than $2.00 per year allowing for advanced technology and efficiency features over basic "non-electric" technology.
There are several products in the ProMate 6 line providing advanced technology at a competitive price. Merles Water Conditioning can order a specific or customized product to meet your needs. Below you'll find an overview of some of the most popular systems.
ProMate 6.0 Advantage's state-of-the-art technology:

- The Vortech Distributer creates a cyclone action during the softener's cleaning cycle. This action keeps the softening media (resin) cleaner. The Vortech Distributer is especially beneficial for water high in iron and manganese, such as well water. This aggressive cleaning action also allows the ProMate 6 to utilize less water during cleaning cycles. Watch the following videos to see the Vortech Distributer outshine its competitors.

System Features Continued
- The Electronic Meter Demand allows the system to regenerate based on usage. It has optional Calendar Clock or Metered with Day Override for water with high mineral content such as iron to ensure the system is cleaning often enough.
- The ProMate 6 Can be upgraded to recycle and physically resuse up to 30% of your salt each month. The Salt Reycling upgrade allows the softener to divert the last portion of your salt brine back into the salt tank instead of to the drain. (See Image Below)

- Comprehensive Data Storage gives you access to data on Peak Flow (Gallons Per Minute) and Peak Usage (Gallons Per Day) for the past 63 individual days as well as Total Number of Regenerations, Days Since Last Regeneration and Gallons Since Last Regeneration.
- The Variable Reserve uses stored data of your daily usages, allowing it to use as much of its available capacity as possible before triggering regeneration.
- A lot of salt softeners use as little salt as possible in an attempt to be more efficient. However, this negatively affects the system's softening media over time. The Alternate Salt Fill Trigger allows you to balance efficiency and long-term system care by providing a liberal dosage after a programable number of regenerations.
