Water softeners are used to remove calcium and magnesium carbonate compounds, which are responsible for high water hardness. Hard water leads to the scale build-up and reduces the efficiency of heating devices and cleaning supplies. Moreover, soft water is much more beneficial to skin and hair, as well as it gives great savings on the use of cleaning products and detergents. Therefore, softeners are basic devices for both residential and industrial water treatment plants.
We sell residential water softeners and industrial water softeners used in boiler rooms, as a part of cooling systems or in other technological processes.
All our softeners are equipped with:
- 5 – cycle automatic valve (US made)
- softening media – ion exchange strong cation resin
- high efficiency of hardness ion exchange
- corrosion resistant fiberglass tank
- regeneration and backwash fully automatic
Valve types
All compact and single-column water softeners are available in versions with a time clock system or a flow meter system of media regeneration.
A flow meter (volumetric) version – with a measurement of water consumption – regenerations take place according to the actual water intake with reserve up to a specified regeneration time. In terms of operating costs, it is a more economical and recommended version of water softeners.
Functions of a head in a flow meter version of a softener:
- memory backup;
- cycle length adjustment;
- instantaneous flow indication;
- an indication of the amount of water remaining until the next regeneration.
A time clock version – without a measurement of water consumption – regenerations take place at a set time, regardless of water consumption

Compact softeners
A compact device consisting of an fiberglass tank placed inside a plastic brine tank (cabinet) and American control valves, which carry out media regeneration cycles automatically, using a salt dose from 0.5 to 1kg/m3 of water.

Single-tank softeners
A single-tank device consisting of an fiberglass tank and a separate plastic brine tank and American control valve that carries out media regeneration cycles automatically, using a salt dose from 0.5 to 1kg/m3 of water.
The regeneration of media, in this type of device, may take up to several hours which forces a pause in the softened water supply into the circulation.

Twin-tank softeners
A twin-tank device is made of two epoxy tanks, a plastic brine tank and two American control valves with a flow meter system, which run media regeneration cycles automatically using a salt dose from 0.5 to 1 kg/m3 of water. This type of device may operate in two modes: parallel and alternating.
In case of parallel work, both tanks work simultaneously which allows filtration for higher maximum flows, but at the same time forces a pause in the softened water supply into the circuit. It is caused by media regeneration which may take up to a couple of hours.
The alternating work allows the continuous operation of the device i.e. one tank is filled with media and operating and the other one is in a regenerating cycle at that time.
