Why choose cold water softener systems

Five capacity options

Available in 5, 10, 16, 23 and 30-litre models for different flow rates, hardness levels and commercial water demands.

Metered regeneration

The control valve measures water consumption and regenerates the ion-exchange resin when its calculated capacity has been reached.

Proportional brining

Adjusts brine usage to the regeneration requirement, helping reduce unnecessary salt and water consumption.

Automatic regeneration control

The electronic control system manages regeneration and backwash functions according to the programmed operating settings.

Digital display

A clear, backlit display supports setup, operating checks and routine servicing.

Annual service reminder

An automatic 52-week reminder helps operators schedule inspection and preventative maintenance.

FAQs: Cold Water Softener

How does a commercial cold-water softener work?

A cold-water softener passes hard water through ion-exchange resin. The resin exchanges calcium and magnesium hardness ions for sodium ions, producing softened water that is less likely to form limescale.

Once the resin reaches its calculated treatment capacity, the system regenerates it using a brine solution. The accumulated hardness minerals are flushed to drain, preparing the resin for another service cycle.
