European WaterCare is the UK 's leading independent manufacturer of water softeners for domestic and light commercial applications.
We manufacture our softeners using only quality proven materials and components including ‘Autotrol' control valves and ‘Dow' resin. Both are the leading international manufacturers with a reputation for quality.
We manufacture the robust rotationally moulded cabinet in our own moulding shop to the highest standard.
European WaterCare's range of softeners provides a cost-effective solution to the problems of hard water for all households from single occupancy to large extended families. We offer timer-controlled or intelligent meter-controlled systems to meet the demands of all users.
Some benefits of installing a WaterCare softener: -
•
Prevents formation of limescale - Saves money and energy.
•
Prevents formation of scum on sinks and baths - Saves time and effort.
•
Softened water requires less detergents and soap powder etc - Saves money and is kinder to the environment.
•
Softened water improves results in both washing machines and dishwashers - clothes are brighter while dishes and cutlery shine.
•
Softened water is kind to skin and can help with dry skin conditions. Eczema suffers will often experiences benefits using softened water.

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 or “regenerated” by rinsing a small amount of brine through the cylinder. The accumulated hardness does not enter the water supply and is automatically flushed 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 CONTROL
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.
METER 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.
All European WaterCare softeners are supplied with special water saving modifications as standard.
PRODUCT RANGE
There are five sizes of cabinet softener ranging from 5 to 23 litres of resin. Five litre units are available with timer control valve only; larger units have the option of timer or meter control.
