Description
The 10″ Water Softener with Automatic Backwash Head is an effective water treatment solution designed to reduce hardness in water by removing calcium and magnesium ions. It is ideal for residential and light commercial applications where hard water can cause scale build-up, reduced appliance efficiency, increased soap consumption and deposits in plumbing and water-heating equipment.
The system uses water-softening ion-exchange resin to reduce hardness as water passes through the resin bed. A water softener exchanges calcium and magnesium ions for sodium ions, helping to produce softened water and reduce the formation of hard-water scale.
The control valve manages the backwash and regeneration cycles according to the programmed settings, helping to restore the resin’s softening capacity while minimising manual intervention. The control valve manages the backwash and regeneration cycles according to the programmed settings, helping to restore the resin’s softening capacity with minimal manual intervention.
The 10″ configuration offers homeowners and light commercial users a compact solution for spaces where room is limited. Correct system sizing should be based on the incoming water hardness, required flow rate, daily water consumption and application requirements.

Benefits of Water Softening:
Hard water contains elevated levels of calcium and magnesium, which can form scale when water is heated or evaporates. Scale can accumulate inside pipes, geysers, washing machines, dishwashers and other water-using equipment, potentially reducing efficiency and increasing maintenance requirements.
The water softener reduces hardness through an ion-exchange process. As water passes through the resin bed, the resin exchanges calcium and magnesium ions, producing softened water that is less likely to form hard-water scale.
Softened water can also improve the performance of soaps and detergents, potentially reducing the amount required for cleaning. It can help reduce deposits on surfaces, plumbing fixtures and appliances.
The automatic control head manages the backwash and regeneration process, helping restore the resin’s capacity without requiring the user to manually operate the regeneration cycle.
The system should be correctly sized according to water hardness, flow requirements and water consumption to ensure reliable performance and appropriate regeneration intervals.
