World Class Filtration Media

• • Aragon Filter (Patent No. 2287356 dd. 30.06.2015) combines mechanical; ion exchange, adsorption; and electric adsorption water filtration methods (4 Filters would be required to replace what an Aragon filter can do).
  • Designed and manufactured in Europe

• Stage 3 – The Water Softener has a 17000 litres capacity resin cylinder that captures all hardness and scale. This water softener regenerates automatically and requires salt to regenerate.
  • Forms good foam to detergent.
  • Protects water heaters from deterioration.
  • Diminishes the hard water scale considerably and prevents future build up in pipelines and other water equipment.
  • Conditioned water keeps bath tub, shower walls, toilet area clean.

• Maintenance Guide

Pre-Filtration System Maintenance

To ensure optimal performance and hygiene and to prevent build up of contaminants, we recommend that filters are not used any longer than 12-18 months. However, replacement frequency depends on water quality and usage.

Filters should also be changed when rated capacity is reached, or when flow becomes too slow.

Annual Filters Replacement Cost: 

20” x 4.5” Two Stage Annual replacement cost for Sediment, Carbon is $165 for two Filters, if you want to get Sediment and Aragon will cost $335 for two filters.

Water Softener Maintenance

The water softener has a cylinder that holds 27 litres of high grade softening resin. This amount of resin can treat 17,000 litres of water at 100 mg/l hardness, once this capacity is reached, the computer will regenerate the resin (a brine solution will wash down the resin). At 200 mg/l hardness, the resin will regenerate every 8,500 litres (every week or two approximately). Each regeneration requires 4.5 Kg of salt, meaning that you need to top up with “water softener salt” the side compartment in the water softener. The side compartment should be kept 1/3 full at all times.

Reverse Osmosis System Maintenance

In reverse osmosis, each filter has a different life span.

1st Stage: Made in USA Inline Carbon Filter to protect the membrane. – (Every year)

2nd Stage: The membrane acts as a barrier to all salts and inorganic molecules, as well as organic molecules. – (Every 3 years)

3rd Stage: The Alkalising filter raises the pH levels by adding smaller quantities of alkaline minerals generating low ORP (antioxidant oxygenating qualities). – (Every 2 years)

How is the AquaCo Water Softener different from others in the market?

Can I just install the water softener?

Unfortunately, a water softener can’t be installed by itself. Softeners require filtered water for the softening resin that lies inside. As tap water or town water contains chemicals, and other disinfectants that oxidise and damage the resin, a Pre-Filtration System is always required to meet the water quality standards required by water softeners’ manufacturers in installation manuals. Otherwise, the original warranty is void.

Can install a water conditioner instead of a water softener?

Ion exchange water softeners are among the most common ways of softening water. These are the only known water softening filtration methods that can be tested and proved with laboratory results. There is no scientific method that can prove the efficiency of other salt-free softeners or ‘water conditioners’ in the market.

What’s inside a water softener?

Salt Based Water softeners consist of a cylinder filled with ion-exchange resin beads that are capable of removing hardness ions from water and replacing them with softer ions, such a sodium.

How does a water softener regenerates the resin?

The cylinder is connected to a brine tank that’s filled with salt, which periodically regenerates the resin beads. The cylinder’s tiny beads attract and hold onto calcium and magnesium ions as water passes through them. When the beads become so saturated they can’t hold any more, the unit rinses them with a brine solution (salty water), which scrubs off the mineral deposits (calcium) and gets them ready to absorb hardness ions again.

Where is the water softener installed?

The location of the water softener will depend on the plumber criteria according to your pipes arrangement. The system will be connected before the pipes divert into your house. Usually, water softeners are installed in the garage or in one of the side walls of your house.

What’s the warranty?

All our filtration systems have 5* years warranty in parts and labour.
