The treatment process consists of four 12’ diameter ion exchange vessels containing 45” of strong base anion exchange resin and support gravel. Water is pumped directly from the wells through the Organix™ ion exchange system to storage and the distribution system.

The ion exchange vessels were designed with a unique domed plate underdrain design, which uniformly distributes flow and allows for painting below the underdrain. Uniform flow reduces head loss across the underdrain system and system-operating pressure. The ability to paint below the underdrain prevents corrosion and ultimately extends vessel life. Tonka Water’s extensive experience with ion exchange treatment technology allowed for a fully optimized system where resin capacity is closely matched with control of brining and regeneration of the media. This allows for the reduction of brine waste and backwash water.

The Tonka Water treatment process has been highly efficient in delivering high quality water as indicated below.
