AURORA Water Softener – Compact all-in-one, 5600 SXT or ECO valve

The AURORA water softener

The AURORA is an all-in-one (monobloc) water softener — brine tank and resin bottle in a single cabinet — in a compact, discreet format. Available in five capacities (10, 14, 18, 22 and 30 litres of resin) and two cabinet heights, it covers residential to light-commercial needs — a versatile unit to offer your customers whatever their consumption profile.

By removing scale right at the inlet, the AURORA protects your customers' installations: plumbing, domestic hot-water production and appliances, while improving everyday comfort. A strong equipment argument across the hard-water areas you serve.

Two 5600 valve versions

The AURORA comes in two control versions, depending on your customers' equipment level and budget:

• AURORA 5600 SXT – electronic valve with digital display, volumetric regeneration, advanced programming with calendar override + holiday mode.
• AURORA 5600 ECO – economical version with simplified control, excellent value for standard installations.

Valve data

• Control system – electronic
• Power supply – input 220-240 V AC, output 12 V AC 650 mA
• Regeneration type – co-current (downflow)
• Regeneration mode – volumetric, with calendar override + holiday mode
• Water used – 8 litres (depending on pressure and settings)
• Temperature – 4 to 43 °C
• Working pressure – 2 to 8.6 bar
• Plumbing connections – 1″ female bypass, 1″ male reduction fittings

Range and capacities

Five capacities to match autonomy to incoming hardness and treated volume:

Model	Resin	Tank	Salt storage	48 g/L dose	96 g/L dose	192 g/L dose
AURORA 10	10 L	10″×17″	25 kg	30 °TH·m³ (≤ 61 m³/yr)	51 °TH·m³ (≤ 104)	66 °TH·m³ (≤ 134)
AURORA 14	14 L	08″×35″	75 kg	42 °TH·m³ (≤ 85 m³/yr)	71 °TH·m³ (≤ 146)	92 °TH·m³ (≤ 187)
AURORA 18	18 L	08″×35″	75 kg	54 °TH·m³ (≤ 110 m³/yr)	92 °TH·m³ (≤ 188)	119 °TH·m³ (≤ 242)
AURORA 22	22 L	08″×35″	75 kg	66 °TH·m³ (≤ 134 m³/yr)	112 °TH·m³ (≤ 228)	145 °TH·m³ (≤ 295)
AURORA 30	30 L	10″×35″	75 kg	90 °TH·m³ (≤ 183 m³/yr)	153 °TH·m³ (≤ 311)	198 °TH·m³ (≤ 403)

Values calculated for 30 °TH water with regeneration every 6 days. The salt dose is adjustable depending on the autonomy or salt economy sought. Tolerance ± 2 %.

Dimensions

Two cabinet heights depending on the chosen capacity:

Cabinet	Height	Width	Depth
Small model	670 mm	320 mm	500 mm
Large model	1140 mm	320 mm	500 mm

Allow for the open-bypass footprint (≈ 550 mm depth on the small model). Tolerance ± 2 %.

Sizing the AURORA correctly

Choosing the capacity is not only about the number of people: you must combine water consumption, incoming hardness (°f / °TH) and the targeted regeneration frequency. Our method is detailed in the article How to size a water softener: the 5-step method. If in doubt, the DIMM team will pre-size the unit with you.

Installation and maintenance

The AURORA is installed on the main water inlet, downstream of the meter, using the supplied bypass. Provide a power supply nearby and a drain for the regeneration water.

Maintenance is minimal: check the salt level and top up the tank, verify the residual hardness once or twice a year, and schedule a periodic disinfection / valve service. DIMM ensures the availability of spare parts (5600 valve, resin, seals, bypass) and technical support.
