Domestic ECOMIX® iron softeners

Domestic water softeners with an iron filter remove hardness, strange metallic taste and odour from tap and well water. In the online Ecosoft shop, you can buy a unit with the needed capacity at a reasonable price.

High concentrations of calcium and iron in drinking water are different issues that should not be confused. Calcium (with manganese) causes hardness, which results in white, chalky scales on the walls of pipes, kettles, other appliances, washing machines, etc. Soaked in hard water, the hair and skin suffer from extreme dryness, while clothes become rough.

Iron changes the colour, smell, and taste of the water and causes a specific sediment. It appears because of rusted water pipes, or it can be a component of the natural water mineral context derived from soil in a certain location. As a result, muddy, viscous deposits appear on the surfaces that continuously contact water rich in iron. If the clothes are soaked in this water, they become dirty and covered with yellow stains. All together, iron, calcium, and manganese contribute to destroying appliances and plumbing and ruin the taste of beverages and foods cooked with mineralised water.

In our catalogue, there are softeners based on the brand’s patented technology. We suggest that users can get rid of the unwanted minerals, including iron, and purify the water with an ECOMIX filter. A single tank contains the media, consisting of Ferrosorb (removing iron), cation exchange resin (removing calcium and manganese), Humisob (removing organic substances), and inert material with quartz as a functional component. Only one cartridge ensures efficient water treatment. This advanced solution provides water purification and softening even under complex water conditions.

An iron softener is designed for home and well water. There are models intended for servicing a family with a various number of members. This technology is particularly needed for locations with iron-rich soil where the water supply is provided by well water systems or groundwater sources containing dissolved minerals. Being cost-effective, ECOMIX media combines three options, which can partially replace a traditional filter where it is appropriate. If requirements for water quality are high or water composition is absolutely unsatisfactory, it is better to prefer a reverse osmosis filter with the highest purification level.

But when a key problem is the water rich in calcium that additionally contains over 15 mg of iron per litre, it is recommended to use the ECOMIX discaling system. If there are separate filtration units coping with these two issues, it is time to replace them with a more efficient and advanced single solution with a space-saving design. The monoblock system is easy to maintain. A user should always ensure that the tank is two-thirds full of salt, which is always above the water level.

To pick the system that meets your individual needs, you should read the specification to define the number of people the unit is designed for. Then, we recommend that the following parameters be considered:

• Flow rate. Models are delivering a flow rate of 1.2 m³/h and 1.8 m³/h.
• Volume capacity. It can be up to 5.6 m³.
• Consumption of power for operating, water and salt for regeneration.
• Cabinet. A durable rotomolded one will serve longer.
• Valve. There is a choice between the Ecosoft diamond valve and the Anthracite Gold 370. Both are worthy of attention, being reliable and having a long service life.

The package may include a total hardness test and show reliable performance. Using any of the softeners from our catalogue, you will have consistently high water quality.
