1.2. Ecosoft FK advanced water softeners with Ecomix®

Well water often contains calcium, magnesium, iron, manganese, ammonia and natural 
organic matter that would normally require multi-step water treatment to bring down all 
the constituents to permitted concentrations. Ecosoft developed a proprietary solution for 

removing all these impurities in one step and a single filter. Ecomix® advanced softening 
media  effectively  treats  problem  water  even  when  complicated  with  non-neutral  pH,  high 

TDS, and other noxious impurities.

Regeneration requires sodium chloride brine and exactly same equipment as in a regular 
softener. Ecomix® is a complex media with ion exchange and adsorptive components 

that  function  in  synergy. After  loading  and  backwashing,  Ecomix  bed  stratifies  in  the  right 

succession of layers ready to operate.

1.3. Ecosoft FU ion exchange softeners resin with Dowex® resin

Water hardness accounts for the largest costs among all water quality issues incurred by 
households, business, and public sector. Some of the symptoms of excessive water hardness 
are limescale deposition inside water pipes and appliances, high detergent demand, poor 

soap  lathering,  compromised  plumbing  fixture  appearance,  overuse  of  electric  power  by 

water heating appliances, poor skin and hair condition.

Water hardness arises chiefly from calcium and magnesium dissolved in water. Ion exchange 

softening is one of the simplest ways to reduce water hardness. Ion exchange resins work 
by attracting and retaining ions of hardness metals in the polymer structure. For balance, 
they release equivalent quantity of sodium ions.

When ion exchange capacity of the resin becomes depleted, the resin must be regenerated 
to restore the capacity. During regeneration, tablesalt brine seeps slowly through the bed, 

allowing sodium ions to displace and flush out ions of hardness.

Ecosoft water softeners use Dowex® ion exchange resin.

1.4. Multiple unit systems

In large and/or critical applications such as boiler feed water treatment, public water 
services, manufacturing etc, softening units are usually required to operate uninterruptedly 
without regeneration stops. In these cases, Ecosoft multiple unit systems are used.

Duplex systems comprise two softeners operating in parallel, locked out from simultaneous 

regeneration  and  equipped  with  auxiliary  motorized  No  Hard  Water  Bypass  valves  to
