7 FESLES 45B Lancaster Platinum Line IronSoft

About this product

Lancaster Platinum Line IronSoft 45k Grain Water Softener | Advanced Iron & Hardness Remediation Deep-well water sources across the country frequently carry a destructive combination of heavy mineral hardness and high concentrations of dissolved iron. Left untreated, this specific water chemistry actively degrades plumbing networks—narrowing pipe diameters with crusty limescale, destroying the thermal efficiency of water heaters, and leaving stubborn, rust-colored stains on porcelain fixtures, tile, and laundry. The Lancaster Platinum Line IronSoft Two-Tank Water Softener System (Model #7-FESLES-45B) is a master-engineered, heavy-duty residential solution designed specifically to neutralize these aggressive well water threats. Distributed through premium trade networks like The Granite Group, this system combines high-capacity ion exchange softening with a high-performance iron extraction barrier in a centralized, point-of-entry configuration. Dual-Action Engineering: Fine-Mesh Resin Advantage Traditional water softeners are strictly built to target calcium and magnesium; they quickly become fouled and chemically choked when exposed to heavy iron profiles. The IronSoft series overcomes this limitation by utilizing premium Fine-Mesh Resin instead of standard-sized beads: Increased Surface Contact: The smaller bead size provides a drastically higher total surface area within the 1.5 cubic foot media bed. This maximizes the system's grain exchange capacity and allows it to perform high-efficiency mechanical and chemical filtration simultaneously. Massive Iron Stripping Power: The system physically captures and removes up to 10 PPM (Parts Per Million) of ferrous (clear water) iron and ferric (red water) iron. It permanently eliminates metallic water tastes and stops orange or reddish-brown plumbing stains at the source. Low-Yield Well Compatibility: Standard iron filters require massive, aggressive backwash flow rates to clear out trapped particulates—often starving and damaging low-yielding or weak private wells. The IronSoft system operates at a fraction of those backwash requirements (1.7 GPM backwash rate), making it exceptionally safe for poor-producing well systems. Acidic Water Resilience: Unlike conventional iron filtration setups that require a strictly neutral or alkaline pH to function, the IronSoft media bed is entirely insensitive to pH fluctuations and can operate flawlessly in highly acidic water lines. Technical Blueprint & System Specifications The 7-FESLES-45B features a robust, two-tank split architecture that separates the chemical mineral exchange from the brine regeneration storage to maximize component longevity and ease of maintenance: Technical Variable Operational Specification Model Designation Manufacturer #7-FESLES-45B (Part #LAN7FESLES45B) System Classification Two-Tank Split Residential Conditioning System Total Media Capacity 45,000 to 48,000 Grains of Hardness Mineral Media Volume 1.5 Cubic Feet of Premium Fine-Mesh Resin Service Flow Rate 14 to 16 Gallons Per Minute (GPM) Hydraulic Backwash Rate 1.7 Gallons Per Minute (GPM) Primary Softener Tank Heavy-Duty Fiberglass, 12" Diameter × 48" (to 52") Height Brine Storage Tank High-Density Polyethylene, 18" Diameter × 33" Height Salt Regeneration Capacity 22 lbs. of NaCl per cycle (Holds up to 275 lbs. total) Max Iron Extraction Threshold 10 Parts Per Million (PPM) Plumbing Port Dimensions 1" NPT Main Line Connections Structural Operating Limits Up to 125 PSI Maximum Pressure / 110°F Max Temperature Electrical Power Bounds Input: 120V AC, 60Hz (9.5W Consumption) | Output: 12V AC (500mA) Intelligence at the Main Line: The 2002S Super Valve At the operational core of the IronSoft system is the Electronic 2002S Super Valve. Driven by a solid-state microprocessor and an integrated digital LCD display, this intelligent control head moves away from wasteful, calendar-timer cleaning cycles in favor of Demand-Initiated Regeneration (DIR).
