7 softening 

control valve

•   FDA compliant GRP valve

•   Strong corrosion resistance

•   Innovative design

•   CE marked

•  24 hours control and monitoring with a timer and meter; 

automatically regenerates the media bed once the 

capacity of a pressure vessel expires

•  Cycle Process:

•  In service: Once the water is supplied with correct 

pressure  and  flow,  the  cations  contained  in  hard 

water will be replaced by Na

+

 in regenerants, then the 

softening system will supply softened water through its 

outlet

•  Backwash: When the ion exchange resin has been  

exhausted,  the  resin  bed  needs  to  be  regenerated. 

Before the regeneration of the resin bed, a backwash 

step is  necessary for two main purposes; removing the 

residue in the resin bed and loosening the impacted 

resin bed for better regeneration efficiency

•  Rinse: Rinse the resin bed to remove the residual 

regenerant (salt) after the brining step until the water 

from outlet contains no regenerant; rinse could also 

compact  the  resin  bed  for  a  better  softening  effect.

Refill: Refill the brine tank with water to dissolve salt for 

the next regeneration

Vessel

•  NSF 44 tested and certified

•  Polyethylene material manufactured for the 

Food & Beverage industries

•  Light, high pressure resistance

•  Strong corrosion resistance

•  Polyethylene liner with reinforced fibreglass

System

A riser tube and distribution system disperse water evenly 

through the resin bed

Brine Valve 

& Tank

•  High pressure resistance

•  Prevents the brine tank from overflowing

•  Water  and  salt  mix  in  the  brine  tank.  Salt  will  dissolve 

continuously until the water is saturated by salts
