KATEX MINI Filter

Product detailed description

The cation exchange filter consists of a housing, a filter cartridge, and the cation exchange resin itself. An ideal product for quick and effective reduction of water hardness with an efficiency of 95%. A simple flow-through cation exchange filter that binds calcium in the water.

Ideal for immediate reduction of water hardness for technical purposes – water for steam cleaners, irons, air purifiers, pools, and spas, water for heating, and simply everywhere where hard water is undesirable and poses a risk of limescale buildup. Connection is 3/4“ or 1“.  After depleting the cation exchange resin, you can simply replace it with a new one for further use.

MAIN ADVANTAGES

• maximum hardness removal up to 10 mmol/l
• recommended maximum flow for 100% softening efficiency: 0.1 m³/hour per 1 kg of cation exchange resin
• protection of all products and technologies connected to the water distribution system from limescale
• the capacity of one cartridge depends on the size and amount of cation exchange resin (e.g. 1 kg of cation exchange resin is suitable for 200 l flow of water with hardness up to 2 mmol/l)
• dimensions: height of the filter without the holder 32 cm, height with the holder 35.5 cm, diameter of the filter 11.5 cm, mounting distance 12 cm (connection 1“ or 3/4“ as selected)
• maximum water temperature: 40°C
• maximum pressure: 8 bar
• ion exchange of Ca+Mg for Na

• The product is certified and designated for contact with potable water

Regeneration of the filter cartridge for water softening in the KATEX MINI filter

1. We close the water supply to the filter, release pressure from the tap to the treated water, and unscrew and remove the filter cartridge with the water softening resin.
2.  We empty the water from the cartridge and leave the inner tube to drain.
3. Into the filter tube or some container, we pour 1l of saturated salt solution (100% brine = a maximum of 0.16 kg of salt dissolves in 1 liter of water), we insert the inner tube with the filter resin into the salt solution or the filter tube for about 30 - 60 minutes.
4.  We place the filter tube back into the filter container, tighten it, turn on the water supply and let about 2 - 5 liters of water flow out to wash out the salt until the water is no longer salty, and subsequently we can use the treated water again.

IT IS IMPORTANT TO KNOW THE AVERAGE CONNECTION TO THE WATER MAINS FOR THE SELECTION OF THE CORRECT THREAD DIAMETER OF 1“ OR 3/4“ FROM THE OFFER.

The efficiency of the filter depends on the correct flow rate and the lifespan of the mixture according to the total flow. The replacement resin can be ordered at any time from AGRO AQUA PRO.

It is also possible to purchase high-capacity tanks with higher performance for the one-time use of cation exchange resin in various sizes according to the volume of cation exchange resin from 6 to 33 liters; if you need this larger container, contact our sales department by phone +420 483 704 744  or email orders@agroaquapro.cz.
