Water Softener OPC MINI 05 - Timed

Product detailed description

Water Softener OPC MINI 05 is designed for a single point of use. Due to its small dimensions, it is suitable for use in gastronomy, for example, in coffee machines, ice makers, etc.

Water softeners are fully automatic devices and require no maintenance. 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, salt needs to be replenished. The lifespan of the filtering media 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 filtering material. The water softener contains ion-exchange resin (known as ionex, cation exchange), which replaces positive cations of compounds in water, such as Ca2+, Mg2+, etc., with sodium ions Na+.

During the regeneration process, hardness and other captured impurities are removed from the filtering material and flushed down the drain. At the same time, the ability of the filtering material to bind salt cations is restored using a saline solution.

This water softener OPC MINI 05 is equipped with a Pentair Autotrol 368/604 control head with time control; thus, the regeneration of the filtering media is triggered at set time intervals (e.g., once a week).

Transport of Filtering Device

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

Installation and Service 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 you are interested, we would be happy to provide you with a price quote. The installation price depends on the difficulty and the materials used (connecting hoses, valves, etc.). If you are interested in installation, please let us know in the note in the cart ("Add a note for the seller").

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