Water Softener OPC HYDRO MINI 05

Product detailed description

Water Softener HYDRO MINI 05 is designed for a single point of use. Due to its small dimensions, it is suitable for use in the hospitality industry, e.g., for coffee machines, ice makers, etc.

Water softeners are fully automated devices and require no manual operation. Only approximately once every 14 days, it is necessary to check the salt container. If the water level in the container is higher than the salt level, it is necessary to add salt. The lifespan of the filtration 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 filtration media. The water softener contains ion exchange resin (so-called ionex, katex), which replaces positively charged cations of compounds in the water, such as Ca2+, Mg2+, etc., with sodium ions Na+.

During the regeneration of the device, hardness and other captured impurities are removed from the filtration medium and flushed down the drain. At the same time, the ability of the filtration medium to bind cations of salts is restored using a salt solution.

Transportation of the Filtration Device

We recommend shipping the device on a pallet to avoid damage during transport. If you are also 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 delivery 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 provide you with a price quote. The installation cost depends on the difficulty and materials used (connection hoses, valves, etc.). If you are interested in installation, please let us know in the comments section of your cart ("Add comment for the seller").

We recommend performing service exchanges regularly once a year. The cost of a service exchange is 1,990 CZK + travel expenses, which is charged at a flat rate of 590 CZK (990 CZK for Prague and Brno) when the technician's trip is combined with other installations or services along the way.
