Clack
Water treatment control valves manufactured in Wisconsin — including the WS2H/F, the twin progressive-kit valve LibertyCES specified for a real groundwater uranium-removal ion exchange system.
What LibertyCES specifies from Clack
Clack — Real Project Spec Data
| Product Line | Model | Category | Material | Configuration | Regeneration Trigger |

| Ion Exchange Control Valve | WS2H/F | Ion Exchange Control Valve | n/a | twin progressive-kit configuration | volumetric regeneration trigger |
Sourced from a real LibertyCES commissioning project (River Island Territory No. 1, Del Oro Water Company) — configuration shown is that specific project's engineered design, not a universal constant.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does a volumetric regeneration trigger do on an ion exchange control valve?
It fires regeneration at a pre-calculated gallon throughput setpoint (measured by the valve's own inline flow meter) rather than on a time clock or breakthrough sampling. This is the control philosophy used on a real LibertyCES ion exchange project (River Island Territory No. 1) with Clack WS2H/F valves, appropriate when breakthrough of a regulated contaminant — not just hardness — is the failure mode being guarded against.
What is a twin progressive-kit control valve configuration?
Two control valves, linked by communication cables, operating one pair of vessels in a lead/lag sequence rather than in parallel — one vessel is always polishing behind the other, which extends time-to-breakthrough. On the River Island project, twin Clack WS2H/F valves ran the two-vessel progressive ion exchange system per site.
Are Clack control valves only used for water softening?
No. Clack WS-series valves are widely used for water softening, but the same WS2H/F valve family has also been specified by LibertyCES for a targeted contaminant-removal (non-softening) application — the River Island uranium ion exchange project — running volumetric regeneration instead of a softener's typical time-clock regeneration.
