Iron
In most cases Aldex C-800F will remove more iron from water than the Aldex C-800.
Hardness Leakage
At normal service flow rates, Aldex C-800F will have less hardness leakage than Aldex C-800, however, the hardness leakage will be greater at the higher flow rates, especially those encountered in some dishwashing applications.
Pressure Drop Considerations
The pressure drop across a bed of Aldex C-800F will be from 2.5 to 4.0 times what it would be for Aldex C800 for any given conditions of flow rate and temperature. Insure the underdrain system can accommodate this increase in pressure drop or modify accordingly.

Capacity Expectations
Several factors can influence the operating or working capacity of Aldex C-800F find mesh resin, therefore, it is not possible in this bulletin to predict exactly what the operating capacity of Aldex C-800F will be. Factors which influence capacity include: cocurrent vs countercurrent regeneration, high service flow rates vs low flow rates, regeneration and salt dosage. Generally speaking the operating capacity of Aldex C-800F will be approximately 10% higher than standard mesh softener resin in most applications when both are used under the same conditions.
Backwash Characteristics
To reclassify the beads and remove suspended solids from the top of the bed, the resin bed should be expanded at least 50% according to Fig. 2 by backwashing for at least five minutes or until the backwash water is clear. The above may not be necessary in the case of upload regenerated softeners since the backwash and brine injection are incorporated in the same step.

Safety & Health
- Safety Information
A material safety data sheet is available for Aldex C-800F. Copies can be obtained from Aldex Chemical Co., LTD. Aldex C-800F is not a hazardous product and is not WHMIS controlled.
Caution: Acidic and basic regenerant solutions are corrosive and should be handled in a manner that will prevent eye and skin contact. Before using strong oxidizing agents in contact with ion exchange resin, consult sources knowledgeable in the handling of these materials.
