The Neomeris Water Softener 60 was developed for households with a maximum of 6 people and can soften up to 6,000 litres per regeneration cycle with an inlet water quality of 10°dH. The Neomeris Water Softener 60 uses ion exchange technology to partially replace the ‘hardness minerals’ calcium (Ca2+) and magnesium (Mg2+) with sodium ions (Na+). This removes the limescale and produces soft water. Product benefits at a glance: Structure of the Neomeris water softening system 60 The Neomeris Water Softening System 60 has a cabinet housing with a removable lid. Inside the cabinet is a GRP pressure bottle filled with high-quality ion exchange resin. The cabinet housing also serves as a container for regeneration salt for brine production (saline solution) and can hold up to 70 kg of salt. The system is completed by a Clack WS 1 CI water-controlled valve mounted on the GRP pressure bottle. The control valve has a microprocessor-controlled system that is easy to operate and uses five buttons for operation. The multifunctional display with status indicator supports metric and American units of measurement. CLACK WS 1 CI is made of a sturdy, modular material without screws, reinforced with fibreglass. Thanks to a click system, the front can be easily removed, allowing for simple maintenance. We set the CLACK WS 1 CI control valve to the factory default setting of ‘Delayed volume-controlled regeneration’ (volume control). Volume control with the Clack WS 1 CI valve The Clack WS 1 CI electronic water-controlled valve records soft water consumption using an integrated water meter. When the softened water flow reaches the preset volume, the regeneration phase does not start immediately, but only at night. To ensure that limescale-free water is still available even after the predefined water capacity has been reached, a reserve capacity is set up in advance as a safety factor. Ion exchange resin produces soft water Ion exchange resin is the main component of every water softening system. This resin contains sodium ions (Na+). When hard water (such as tap water) is passed through the resin, the calcium and magnesium ions (Ca2+ / Mg2+) contained in the water are exchanged with the sodium ions (Na+) adhering to the resin. The result is water with soft properties. The resin has a service life of over 20 years. Neomeris water softener 60 regenerates Once the exchange resin has exhausted its capacity and is completely saturated with calcium and magnesium ions (Ca2+ / Mg2+), the system regenerates itself using the salt tablets (saline solution) supplied. This regeneration takes place as follows: The ion exchanger must completely remove the calcium and magnesium ions (Ca2+ / Mg2+). To achieve this, the water softener automatically feeds a highly concentrated sodium chloride solution through the ion exchange resin. During this process, the resin is enriched with sodium ions (Na+) once again. Calcium and magnesium ions (Ca2+ / Mg2+) are discharged into the waste water together with the excess salt solution via a separate drain. Resin can now be used again to soften the tap water. During regeneration, the Neomeris water softening system 60 provides untreated tap water via a built-in bypass, ensuring a continuous water supply. Forced regeneration of the system If there is no activity, the system automatically enters a time-controlled, forced regeneration mode on the tenth day. This protects against the formation of germs in the resin bed. This forced regeneration is a safety regeneration that only takes place if no regeneration has occurred due to quantity control, for example during holidays. Reliably determine salt filling Depending on the hardness and consumption of the water, one salt refill can last for approximately 3 to 4 months. It is then necessary to add new salt. The cabinet housing is protected against overflowing water by an integrated safety float valve with a buoy.

Frequently Asked Questions How does the Neomeris 60 water softener work? It uses ion exchange to replace calcium and magnesium with sodium ions, thereby producing soft water. Who can install the system? The KTW 60 can be installed by a system installer, our service partner, or by yourself using the operating instructions. How exactly does regeneration work? The resin is automatically rinsed with a saline solution, calcium and magnesium ions are removed, and the resin is recharged with sodium ions. What happens to the tap water during regeneration? An integrated bypass ensures that you can continue to use tap water whilst the resin is being regenerated. Is the system safe to operate? Yes, it is equipped with a float valve to prevent flooding, a sturdy cabinet and a microprocessor-controlled valve.
