OPERATION
Water passes through a cylinder containing ion exchange resin beads. The hardness salts – calcium and magnesium ions – are attracted to the resin and removed from the water supply. The resin is automatically cleaned (regenerated) by rinsing a small amount of brine through the cylinder. The accumulated hardness does not enter the water supply, but is automatically flushes away to a nearby drain. Refreshed by regeneration, the resin is again ready to remove hardness minerals.
REGENERATION
The frequency of regeneration depends on the hardness and volume of water being used. It takes place automatically, and is initiated in one of the following ways:
TIMER CONTROLLED
The frequency of regeneration is controlled by setting the pins on the skipper wheel. Once set, the softener will automatically regenerate at the pre-determined interval – normally at 2am. There is also a manual override to enable a regeneration to be initiated at any other time.
COMMANDER CONTROL
Regeneration still typically takes place at 2am. This unit measures the daily water usage and statistically averages the last 7 days consumption – ignoring very low or zero water usage. The computer will determine if the softener has sufficient remaining capacity to supply the next days needs, if not it will initiate a regeneration. As water consumption changes the computer compensates and regenerates accordingly.
DUPLEX METER CONTROLLED
The system comprises of two cylinders and a control valve. The softening capacity of each vessel is entered into the control valve and regeneration is initiated once the first cylinder regenerates. When the second cylinder will then come into service whilst the first cylinder regenerates. When the second cylinder exhaust the first cylinder comes back on line, thus ensuring a continuous supply of softened water. This system provides an uninterrupted soft water supply and is by far the most versatile and the most cost effective for salt consumption.
All European WaterCare softeners are supplied with special water saving modifications as standard.

PRODUCT RANGE
The 10, 14, and 18 litre units are mounted in a robust rotationally moulded cabinet whilst larger units and duplex systems are free standing, with separate brine tank. Systems are available to meet all applications as required.
PEACE OF MIND
European WaterCare's team of fully trained engineersare dedicated to proving a complete service back up for all your water treatment equipment including products supplied by other manufacturers. The team regularly carries out filter exchanges and maintenance throughout the UK. Our computerised client database provides accurate scheduling of maintenance visits and exchanges, which we endeavour to arrange at times to suit your business.
Water hardness can vary significantly even within a local area. European WaterCare provides a free water testing service to establish the actual hardness of water at each client site. This ensures that regeneration, service and exchange intervals are scheduled appropriately.
WARRANTIES
European WaterCare softeners are supplied with a 2-year labour warranty and full manufacturers parts warranty, subject to servicing requirements being met.
