Water Softener OPC 8 Slim Volume

Product detailed description

Water Softener OPC 8 Slim with volumetric control (according to water flow) is a completely automatic modern filtration device that efficiently softens the water in your home. It is designed for connection to the main water supply into the building.It is an excellent choice in terms of price/effectiveness.

With its special slim design (only 24 cm wide), it is suitable for use in smaller properties (e.g., for a home occupied by a small family). The maximum flow reaches up to 0.8 m³/hour. In case you need a larger amount of treated water, we recommend purchasing the OPC 12 Slim water softener with a flow rate of 1.1 m³/hour.

The softener can be optionally equipped with a mixing by-pass for setting the hardness of the output water. It can also be optionally supplemented with a safety float.

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

OPC Slim water softeners are equipped with a reliable Autotrol valve with a camshaft and control valves.
Its 7-cycle regeneration ensures a reduction in hard water leakage and optimal use of regeneration salt. Autotrol valves are among the best-selling automatic valves for home use in Europe. Due to their modular design, 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 counts the amount of water that has passed through the device. The filter medium is then regenerated based on the water flow (capacity regeneration).

Smart automatic regeneration Logix evaluates water consumption over the last 28 days and based on that determines consumption for each day of the week and sets regeneration according to the detected current usage. It allows easy programming with automatic capacity calculation.

Extended warranty of 3 years.

The softeners are fully automatic devices, requiring no maintenance. Only approximately once every 14 days, it is necessary to check the salt tank, and if the water level in the tank is higher than the salt level, salt needs to be replenished. The lifespan of the filter medium 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 filter medium that exchanges positive cations of compounds in the water. During the regeneration process, hardness and other captured impurities are removed from the filter medium and flushed to waste. At the same time, the filter medium's ability to bind cations of salts is restored using a salt solution.

*) Nominal flow at 0 mmol/l – flow at zero hardness leakage in the output water (calculated at input hardness of 3 mmol/l).
**) Nominal flow at 0.5 - 1 mmol/l - flow at hardness leakage in the output water in the range of 0.5 – 1 mmol/l (calculated at input hardness of 3 mmol/l).
***) Maximum flow > 1 mmol/l - flow at hardness leakage in the output water slightly higher than 1 mmol/l (calculated at input hardness of 3 mmol/l).

Transportation of the filtration device

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

Installation and servicing of the device

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

Service replacements are recommended to be performed regularly once a year. The price for service replacement is 1,990 CZK + travel costs, which are paid as a flat fee of 590 CZK (for Prague and Brno 990 CZK) in cases where the technician's trip is combined with other installations or servicing along the way.
