Cold Water Cabinet Water Softeners
APPLICATIONS
BENEFITS
A robust range of water softeners mounted in a rotationally moulded cabinet providing treatment of hard water feeding dishwashers, glasswashers, laundry equipment and other process water not being used in food or beverage preparation. Maximum temperature 35°C.
Softening water provides important financial and operational benefits:
Typical users:
• lowers servicing costs
• Hotels
• reduces machinery downtime
• Restaurants
• increases equipment life
• Hospitals
• improves cleaning quality
• Nursing Homes
• reduces outlay on cleaning chemicals
• Food processing plants and other commercial premises
• prevents scale formation on metal surfaces • improves performance of heating elements
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.
OPERATION
All European WaterCare softeners are supplied with special water saving modifications as standard.
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 CONTROLLED The frequency is set by pushing in 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. COMMANDER CONTROL Regeneration still typically takes place at 2am. This unit measures the daily water useage and statistically averages the last 7 days consumption - ignoring very low or zero water useage. The computer will determine if the softener has sufficient
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 commander control.

PEACE OF MIND European WaterCare’s team of fully trained engineers are dedicated to providing a complete service back-up for all your water treatment equipment, including products supplied by other manufacturers. The team regularly carry out filter exchanges and service work throughout the UK and maintain a client database that includes the scheduling of maintenance visits. Water hardness can vary significantly even within a local area. European WaterCare provides a free water testing service to establish the actual hardness of water at each site. This ensures that regeneration, service and exchange intervals are scheduled appropriately. WARRANTIES European WaterCare softeners are supplied with a 2 year labour warranty and full manufacturers parts warranty, subject to servicing requirements being met.
BASIC INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS WATER PRESSURE*
Minimum 1.5 Bar; maximum 4.0 Bar.
WATER CONNECTION
3/4 inch bsp inlet and outlet, adequate drainage and overflow facilities required.
