A backwash filter should generally be present in every installation. This filters sediments and solids from the drinking water. If you don't have a pre-filter yet, please order one at the same time.

This water treatment system works with the ion exchange process. This means that salt is required to operate. How much salt the system needs depends on the water consumption and water hardness. You can calculate your salt consumption using our online calculator.

If you wish, you can extend the guarantee to a total of 5 years.

This special solution of preservative and demineralized water ensures that the resin of your ion exchanger is refreshed. Use once a year or after the system has been shut down for a long time.

Water softening systems

No more limescale with our best-selling water softener - Ideal for single-family homes up to 6 people

This fully automatic, single-column water softening system with electronic, water quantity-controlled control valve CLACK WS1 is simply installed in front of your existing domestic water network. The system uses the proven ion exchange process to completely remove the hardness-forming substances and thus the limescale from your tap water. When the capacity is exhausted, the system regenerates itself automatically using the salt supply. An integrated safety float valve protects the salt container from overflow and the glass fiber reinforced pressure tank can withstand pressure surges of up to 8 bar. Thanks to our sophisticated ECO-INJECT SYSTEM, the system saves up to 50% salt (economical salting).

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.

    We normally work with photos of the on-site situation, which our fitters look at.

    No, the water does not taste salty after softening. Your water does not come into direct contact with the salt. This is used exclusively to regenerate/clean the system.

    The wastewater can be transported upwards from the system up to 3 m. However, from the highest point, the hose must continue with a gradient of around 2%. In addition, the wastewater should be led into an open outlet (e.g. funnel).

    Installing a water softening system requires a certain level of technical understanding and craftsmanship. Installation typically involves installing a bypass valve and connecting to a sewer for regeneration cycles. Special tools and materials are required for installation. This includes pipe cutters, wrenches, Teflon tape and, if necessary, additional pipe fittings and connecting parts.

    This is a complex topic that is controversially discussed on the Internet. The first thing that should be mentioned is that these days mainly plastic pipes are used and no corrosion is to be expected.

    When water is softened using ion exchange, no CO2 is released and the pH value of the water is not changed. This would look different if the water was treated using reverse osmosis, for example.

    It is known that copper pipes are subject to a certain degree of corrosion regardless of the quality of drinking water. However, this corrosion is usually so low that copper is considered a durable material. The low corrosion rate of copper in drinking water results from the formation of a coating on the surface of the material consisting of various copper compounds. This layer is reinforced by small amounts of embedded lime, which increases its anti-corrosion effect. In softened water, this limescale deposit is missing, which can reduce the protective function of the top layer. Nevertheless, the protective effect is sufficiently strong to generally prevent corrosion damage over human generations.

    In summary, there is no absolute freedom from corrosion in copper pipes in drinking water systems. Although water softening has an influence on the protective top layer in the pipes, it only has a negligible impact on their service life. If you had problems with corrosion before installing a softening system, then you should think about installing a dosing system or replacing the pipes.

    Our basic water softening system meets all legal requirements. The DVGW (German Association for Gas and Water) is an association that issues certificates that confirm compliance with technical standards and safety requirements to third parties. However, a DVGW certificate is not legally required for all applications, which is why our basic system does not have such a certificate.

    However, if you require a certificate for your intended use, we are happy to offer you our Leycosoft systems. You can find more information here: Leycosoft 9-15 water softening system carefree package .

    The terms " water softener " and " water decalcification system " are often used interchangeably, as both systems are designed to prevent limescale buildup. A water softener works by replacing calcium and magnesium ions in the water with sodium ions, which softens the water (i.e., softens it). The term "water decalcification system" is sometimes used to refer to the same system, as softening the water also reduces the lime content, thus preventing limescale buildup. So technically there is no difference, as a water softener effectively also acts as a water decalcification system.
