How the Katex OP Softener Works

The most common and simplest way to soften water, which is also among the most effective, is the use of a softening filter that works on the principle of ion exchange (so-called Katex filter). The filter filled with katex (softening resin) is integrated into the water supply, and as water flows through the filter media, calcium and magnesium ions contained in the inlet water are exchanged for sodium ions. This method of softening water is very effective, simple, and the customer only needs to replenish regeneration salt in the container once every 1-3 months depending on water consumption.

Water can be softened with an efficiency of up to 100%, our units also have an adjustable internal bypass that can regulate the hardness of the water output from the filter and thus reduce maintenance costs - replenishing regeneration salt. Aqua OPC and OP softeners have a fully digital control unit that automatically monitors water hardness according to the flow after settings and fully automatically performs regeneration. This ensures that the softener regenerates itself only when needed, not according to a time setting. Our recommendation is to set the output hardness to a maximum of 1.2 mmol/l, where at this value there is still no formation of scale. Installation will be ensured by our authorized service.

* Nominal flow - flow for continuous filter operation. Filtration efficiency is not reduced and is constant.
** Maximum flow - flow for intermittent filter operation. Filtration efficiency is not reduced for a maximum of 5 minutes.
After 5 minutes of operation, the filtration efficiency starts to decrease very slowly.

• You can purchase regeneration salt at our eshop: regeneration salts
• A pre-filter for mechanical impurities must be installed before each softener.
• Near the filtration, it is necessary to have a connection to the drain where the settled calcium, or iron and manganese is discharged from the filtration

Transport of the filtration device

We recommend sending the device on a pallet to prevent damage during transport. If you will be purchasing regeneration salt along with the filtration device, include the pallet in your cart together with the salt.

Installation and servicing of the device

Installation and transport will be provided by our own service technicians (we have 14 authorized service technicians throughout the Czech Republic and Slovakia). If interested, we will be happy to provide you with a price quote. The installation price depends on the complexity and used materials (connecting hoses, valves, etc.). If you are interested in installation, please inform us in the remarks in the cart ("Enter a note for the seller").

Service exchanges are recommended once a year. The price of service exchange is 1,990 CZK + travel expenses, which are charged at a flat rate of 590 CZK (for Prague and Brno 990 CZK) if the technician's trip is combined with other installations or services en route.
