Water softening system test
Since we are not aware of any current test report from an independent institute for water softening systems, we would like to subject our water softening systems to a subjective test here. This test is not to be understood as an independent test, but only relates to our FILTRASOFT systems and only reflects our opinion.
Do I even need a water softener?
First, the all-important question: Who needs a water softener anyway? This question depends mainly on the water hardness of your tap water. In general, our German drinking water is of the highest quality and does not need to be treated further. Nevertheless, there are many areas in Germany with high to very high water hardness . If the water hardness is low (i.e. values below 8 °dH), it makes no sense to think about a water softener. High water hardness means that a lot of limescale can build up in your pipes and appliances (washing machine, etc.).
So why not lower your water hardness to prevent your appliances from breaking down or having to be descaled with chemicals? In our opinion , the advantages outweigh the disadvantages and there are even many communities that share this opinion .
Are there any disadvantages to water softening?
We don't want to pull the wool over our customers' eyes and are therefore willing to be as honest with them as possible. The use of a water softening system naturally also entails costs. The biggest cost is the salt that our systems need to function properly. In addition to the salt, the systems require electricity and, depending on their size, produce a certain amount of wastewater. As already mentioned above, however, we believe that the advantages outweigh the disadvantages and have therefore provided you with a sample calculation .
functionality
First, we would like to explain how our water softening systems work. There are various technologies on the market for removing water hardness. For us, the ion exchange process has proven itself for many years. The hardness-forming calcium and magnesium are removed from the water using a special resin. The softening resin has a certain capacity and must be regenerated using salt . You can find a detailed description of how it works on our information pages on water softening .

Quality
Our systems meet the requirements of the Drinking Water Ordinance (see Section 17, Paragraph 1) and can be installed in your drinking water pipe network without any concerns. All components used are of the highest quality and are suitable for use with drinking water. Certification of the systems is recommended in the Drinking Water Ordinance, but is not required, as our systems meet the requirements mentioned in Section 17.
Technical data
You can view the properties and technical data on the respective product pages in our online shop. You can also find a summary of the technical data here .
Prices
You can find the prices of our systems directly in our online shop under the category water softening systems . Our systems are available in duplex or basic versions. The basic systems have a softening column, which means that no soft water is available during the regeneration break (approx. 1 hour). In most cases, however, this is not a problem, as the regeneration break can be set to take place at night. The duplex systems have two softening columns and can therefore switch between the two columns during regeneration. The duplex systems are therefore suitable when an uninterrupted supply is desired.
Assembly
We offer our customers a Germany-wide assembly service . The assembly and commissioning is carried out by one of our assembly partners in your area. Our assembly partners are qualified specialists who, like us, pay attention to quality and service.

Product: BASIC water softening system
The resin cartridges in your Basic 40 softening system generally do not need to be replaced because they regenerate themselves. The regeneration of the resin is an automated process that takes place during the cleaning cycles of the system. Here are some details:
Regeneration process: During regeneration, the resin is flushed with a salt solution, which dissolves and removes the accumulated calcium and magnesium ions (which are responsible for water hardness) from the resin. This “renews” the resin and can be used effectively to soften water again.
Regular cleaning: This regeneration is carried out regularly, depending on the amount of water used and the hardness of the water. In a 4-person household with a water hardness of 20° dH, the system will regenerate more frequently to ensure efficiency.
No replacement necessary: As long as the system is properly maintained and the regenerating salt is topped up regularly, the resin cartridges do not need to be replaced. However, you should regularly inspect and maintain the system to ensure its longevity and optimal performance.
In summary, the resin cartridges in your Basic 40 system are maintained effectively by the built-in regeneration process and therefore do not require regular replacement.

It is best to let the salt empty until the water is visible.
Then refill and ideally not full to the brim so that there is not too much weight on the salt.
If you keep filling the container without waiting until you see the water at the bottom, clumps can occur.

According to the DIN standard, maintenance should be carried out by a specialist at least every 12 months to ensure optimal function and safety of the system.
However, our water softening systems are designed to be so reliable that many customers carry out regular checks themselves. As long as the system is working properly and no problems occur, there are no legal requirements that make maintenance mandatory. Nevertheless, we recommend checking the system regularly and calling in a specialist if necessary to ensure long-term safety and efficiency.
