Water Softener OPC 12 Slim Volumetric

Product detailed description

Water Softener OPC 12 Slim with volumetric control (according to water flow) is a completely automatic modern filtration device that effectively softens the water in your household. It is designed for connection to the main water supply of the building. It is an excellent choice in terms of price/effectiveness.  

With its special narrow design (only 24 cm wide), it is suitable for use in smaller buildings (e.g., for a household inhabited by a smaller family). Maximum flow reaches up to 1.1 m³/hour. If a smaller amount of treated water would suffice, you can purchase the water softener OPC 8 Slim with a flow rate of 0.8 m³/hour.

The softener can be optionally equipped with a mixing by-pass to set the hardness of the outlet water. It can also be optionally supplemented with a safety float.

The OPC Slim cabinet is made of durable polyethylene and is equipped with a safety overflow.

OPC Slim water softeners are equipped with a reliable Autotrol valve with a camshaft system and control flaps.
Its 7-cycle regeneration ensures reduced hard water discharge and optimal use of regeneration salt. Autotrol valves are among the best-selling automatic valves for household use in Europe. Due to their modular arrangement, they are very versatile and suitable for various applications.

Models with control units Pentair Autotrol 368/606 with volumetric control are equipped with an integrated turbine that measures the amount of water that has passed through the device. The filtration material is then regenerated based on the water flow (capacity regeneration).

Smart automatic regeneration Logix evaluates water consumption over the last 28 days and determines the consumption in individual days of the week and sets the regeneration according to the determined current consumption. It allows easy programming with automatic capacity calculation.

Extended warranty of 3 years.

Softening devices are fully automatic units that require no maintenance. Only about once every 14 days, it is necessary to check the salt container and if the water level in the container is higher than the salt level, salt must be replenished. The lifespan of the filtration filling is 8 to 12 years. 
These devices are approved for use with drinking water.

Operating Principle

Hardness (calcium and magnesium salts) and other impurities are removed using a filtration material that transforms positive cations of compounds in the water. During the device's regeneration, hardness and other captured impurities are removed from the filtration material and flushed away. At the same time, the ability of the filtration material to bind cations of salts is restored using a salt solution.

***) Maximum flow > 1 mmol/l - flow at hardness leak in the outlet water slightly above 1 mmol/l (calculated at an inlet hardness of 3 mmol/l).

Transport of the filtration device

We recommend sending the device on a pallet to avoid damage during transport. If you are purchasing regeneration salt along with the filtration device, you can add the pallet to your cart together with the salt.

Installation and service of the device

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

Service exchanges are recommended to be performed regularly once a year. The price of service exchange is 1,990 CZK + travel costs, which is a flat fee of 590 CZK (for Prague and Brno 990 CZK) in case the technician's trip is combined with other installations or service on the way.
