Dual Alternating Ion Exchange Water Softener Model AP8000S
The AMPAC USA Dual Alternating Ion Exchange Water Softener Model AP8000S is built to eliminate hard water in residential, commercial, and industrial applications. It significantly reduces calcium and magnesium, the minerals responsible for lime scale in plumbing, appliances, and fixtures, protecting your water supply system and extending the life of water-using equipment. The AP8000S also removes small amounts of iron, up to 3 parts per million; for higher iron concentrations, AMPAC USA's Iron Manganese Whole House Filters can be added for more complete treatment.
- Twin alternating 18"x65" resin tanks with 8 cubic feet of high-capacity cation resin each
- 1.5" riser tube for optimized water flow
- Twin Alternating Clack WS1.5 controllers for precise regeneration control
- Removes hardness minerals plus up to 3 ppm of iron
- Dual-tank design keeps soft water flowing with no supply interruption
At the heart of the AP8000S is a high-flow dual alternating design that keeps soft water flowing without interruption. While one resin tank is in service, the other regenerates or stands ready to take over, so there's no downtime in your soft water supply. The 1.5-inch riser tube and Twin Alternating Clack WS1.5 controllers give precise control over regeneration and help optimize water usage.
The AP8000S suits a wide range of settings, from large residential homes to commercial and industrial operations that need a steady supply of soft water. Homeowners benefit from cleaner dishes, softer laundry, lower soap use, and protection for water heaters, dishwashers, and washing machines. Hotels, restaurants, and manufacturing facilities rely on it to prevent scale buildup in boilers and cooling towers, cutting maintenance costs and improving efficiency. Its ability to also address iron makes it a strong option for well-water sources.
AMPAC USA engineers every component of the AP8000S, from the resin tanks to the Clack controllers, for durability and long-term performance. High-capacity cation resin and careful assembly deliver reliable, leak-free operation, giving customers a dependable source of soft water for years.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does the AP8000S remove from water?
It removes calcium and magnesium hardness minerals that cause lime scale, and it can also remove small amounts of iron, up to 3 parts per million. For higher iron levels, AMPAC USA's Iron Manganese Whole House Filters can be added for more complete treatment.
How does the dual alternating design prevent downtime?
The AP8000S uses twin 18"x65" resin tanks. While one tank is in service, the other is regenerating or on standby, so there is always soft water available with no interruption in supply.
What controls the regeneration process?
Twin Alternating Clack WS1.5 controllers manage regeneration, paired with a 1.5-inch riser tube for precise control and optimized water usage.
Is the AP8000S suitable for commercial or industrial use?
Yes. In addition to large residential homes, it is used in commercial and industrial settings such as hotels, restaurants, and manufacturing facilities to prevent scale buildup in boilers and cooling towers.
How much resin does each tank hold?
Each of the twin 18"x65" resin tanks holds 8 cubic feet of high-capacity cation resin, allowing extended periods between regenerations even under heavy water use.
