Claim Text:
1. A process of use of a system for treating over a period of time a pressurized flow of water that has a combination of problems of temporarily varying severity chosen from the group of water problems including having a higher than desired level of hardness or a higher than desired concentration of dissolved ferrous iron or hydrogen sulfide, said process comprising the steps of: wherein said system comprising: establishing said specifiable length of said bottom portion of said adapter so that the volume of said top portion of said water softening tank is in the range of 10%-25% of said specified interior volume of said water softening tank, and wherein said range is defined and to have a midpoint of said range with a top and a bottom part of said range on either side of said midpoint of said range, when at a specific point of time during said period the most severe of said temporarily varying water problems is water hardness, setting the specifiable length of said bottom portion of said adapter so that the ratio of the volume of said top portion of said water softening tank to the specified interior volume of said water softening tank is in said bottom part of said range of 10%-25%, and when at a specific point of time during said period the most severe of said temporarily varying water problem is a higher than desired concentration of dissolved hydrogen sulfide, setting the specifiable length of said bottom portion of said adapter so that the ratio of the volume of said top portion of said water softening tank to the specified interior volume of said water softening tank is in said top part of said range of 10%-25%.
