Hard water contains dissolved minerals—calcium and magnesium compounds, among others. Calcium and magnesium ions cause limescale deposits, which are hazardous to objects and tools in contact with water or steam. Softening is a process in which all the calcium and magnesium compounds that cause water hardness are removed. As they pass through the resin column, the calcium and magnesium ions are absorbed by the resin particles. When the resin's ion exchange capacity is exhausted, it should be restored in an appropriate regeneration process using a saline solution. The water softener can be installed anywhere the water temperature is below 45°C and the water inlet pressure does not exceed 2 bar. Regeneration: only unmodified salt. For drinking water only. Suitable for softening water for coffee machines, steam ovens, dishwashers, and ice makers. Thanks to its small size, it is perfect for bars and restaurants. Thanks to the high-quality components used, the The device remains fail-safe and operational for many years. Optimal working water pressure: 1-2 bar. During softener regeneration, the connected machine must not be used. Maximum / minimum water pressure: 1 to 8 bar. Nominal flow: 1000 L / h. Ambient temperature: 4°C to 35°C. Supply water temperature: 4°C to 25°C. Connection size: 3/8 ".
