004CALSOFTM. CalSoft Metered is an electrical water softener that works by only regenerating once a preset level of water has passed through it. This makes it one of the most economical softeners available. Water softeners are really the only solution to combat limescale problems in hard water areas. Ion exchange is a simple the process whereby calcium (limescale) is replaced by sodium (salt) in your water. This creates soft water.
CalSoft Metered has been designed to be suitable for both 15mm and 22mm installations. It is also compatible with combination boilers, and eliminates the risk of home owners purchasing a water softener that cannot deliver their soft water needs.
Calsoft Metered is as easy to install as a washing machine and comes with no flashing lights, digits or confusing programmes. CalSoft Metered has been designed to fit under a single kitchen cupboard. All the unit requires is an inlet, outlet, drain, overflow and power supply.
Water travels through the inlet and to the bottom of the resin tank. It is then forced through the resin bed and calcium (limescale) particles are exchanged with sodium (salt) particles that are held on the resin beads. The softened water then passes through the outlet and supplies your home with limescale free, softened water.
After installation you should notice the following effects...
- Existing scale on pipes and appliances will begin to break down upon contact with softened water. NB this process will take slightly longer in your hot water cylinder.
- The water in your central heating storage tank will become softened and as a result, will begin to treat the boiler and pipework.
- You should notice that you require less soap and detergents around your home, as they mix much more effectively with softened water. In some cases you could reduce the amount of soaps and detergents you use by 75%.
- After several months, your hot water system will gradually become more efficient. Eventually you should be able to lower the water temperature and make considerable savings over the year. For more information on how limescale can affect the efficiency of your heating system please
