AUTOTROL Arca monobloc water softener 8 L, 368/606 volumétrique valve

AUTOTROL Arca monobloc water softener 8 L, 368/606 volumétrique valve, effectively treats hard water throughout the home. As compact as a computer tower, the Arca is designed for under-sink installations and tight spaces. Its neat, elegant design makes it a discreet domestic softener, ideal when treatment performance must be reconciled with a minimal footprint.

Why soften your water?

Hard water, rich in calcium and magnesium ions, causes scaling of pipes and appliances, white marks, rough laundry, irritated skin and higher energy and detergent consumption. By exchanging calcium and magnesium for sodium, the softener removes limescale at the source. Softened water remains perfectly drinkable, without a salty taste, and protects the entire installation over the long term.

How it works

This softener uses 8 litres of ion-exchange resin in a 08X17 tank. Driven by the AUTOTROL 368/606 volumétrique, it regenerates the resin with salt based on the volume of water actually consumed, for optimal efficiency and controlled consumption. Blending (mixing) allows the residual hardness to be finely adjusted.

Het AUTOTROL 368/606 ventiel is een compact automatisch besturingsventiel voor residentiële ontharders en filters. Eenvoudig te programmeren, robuust en duurzaam, stuurt het de regeneratiecycli volumetrisch aan, op basis van het werkelijk verbruikte watervolume, wat het zout- en waterverbruik aanzienlijk vermindert.
