The Hydro-Force AC39 is a stand-alone, manual-recharge water softener built for carpet cleaners who work in hard-water areas. Hard water is loaded with calcium and magnesium that bind up cleaning chemistry and leave residue; the AC39 removes those minerals before water reaches your machine, so detergents lather and rinse properly and equipment stays free of scale. With 32,000 grains of softening capacity, it supplies about a month of normal cleaning in a medium-hard-water area between recharges.

Frequently asked questions
How often does the AC39 need recharging?
Its 32,000-grain capacity gives roughly one month of normal cleaning in a medium-hard-water area; very hard water or heavy use will shorten that interval.
How do I recharge it?
Add salt directly to the tank and run water through at a trickle for about 30 minutes. Back-flushing is occasionally needed to keep it working well.
Why use a water softener for carpet cleaning?
Hard-water minerals reduce detergent performance and leave residue. Softening the water first improves cleaning, rinsing, and the appearance of finished carpet.
Does it help protect my equipment?
Yes. Removing calcium and magnesium reduces scale buildup that can clog and wear pumps, heaters, and jets over time.
