Abstract: A water conditioning system that both softens and improves the smell of water by removing dissolved ferrous iron and hydrogen sulfide from the water includes: a water softening tank, a cation exchange media situated in the water softening tank, a brine tank, a programmable control valve which regulates flow through the system and the periodic rejuvenation of the cation exchange media using flow from the brine tank, a valve that assists in providing a flow of aerated, pressurized water to the system, and an adapter with a bottom portion and a flow control valve that control the volume of the gaseous pocket that is created in the top portion of the water softening tank.

Abstract: A water softener including a water softener tank having an inlet and an outlet. A cation exchange media is positioned within the tank through which water, passing from the inlet to the outlet, is flowed. A valve pedestal is connected to the top of the tank. The valve pedestal includes a dome hole adapter that is screwed into the top of the water softener tank and establishes fluid communication between the inside of the tank and the atmosphere. A downcomer is connected to the dome hole adapter so as to establish an air/water contact within the tank. A variable coupling is connected to the dome hole adapter and extends upwardly therefrom. A pressure release valve is connected to the variable coupling.
