Floteck Ideal 18 L Water Softener, Volumetric Valve 765

Floteck Ideal water softener — 18 L resin

The Floteck Ideal is a compact all-in-one model (resin and salt tank integrated) designed for apartments and individual homes. It removes hardness (limescale) responsible for scaling in water heaters, pipework and appliances, delivering softer water that is gentler on skin, hair and laundry, whilst reducing energy consumption and cleaning product usage. It combines food-grade ion exchange resin with a Floteck 765 volumetric valve, with volume-controlled regeneration.

Operation

Hard water passes through the resin bed which captures calcium and magnesium and exchanges them for sodium: water emerges softened. When the resin is saturated, the valve automatically initiates regeneration with brine (water + salt), volume-controlled to consume only the salt and water strictly necessary. Volumetric regeneration adapts cycles to actual household consumption, without unnecessary forcing.

Technical specifications

Why soften your water?

Hard water deposits scale in pipework, hot water cylinders and heating elements: energy consumption rises, appliances wear out and taps become encrusted. By removing hardness, the softener extends equipment lifespan, reduces energy bills, decreases soap and detergent usage and delivers softer water for daily use.

The Floteck Ideal range

The Ideal range combines controlled footprint, economical regeneration and a Floteck 765 volumetric valve with volume-controlled regeneration. High-pressure composite vessel, selected resin and volumetric control guarantee stable performance and low salt and water consumption — the right balance between performance, discretion and durability for residential use.

The comfort of soft water every day

Beyond equipment protection, softened water transforms daily life: fewer limescale marks on taps, shower and dishes, softer laundry, gentler on skin and hair, and cleaning products more effective in smaller quantities. The water heater and washing machine maintain their efficiency longer, reducing energy consumption and breakdowns. Compact and quiet, the unit works continuously whilst remaining unobtrusive.

Installation & maintenance

The unit is installed on the main water inlet, after the meter, with a bypass allowing isolation for maintenance. Commissioning involves setting inlet hardness and regeneration mode; maintenance is limited to salt top-ups and periodic checks. DIMM ensures spare parts availability and technical support throughout the installation's lifespan.

Choosing the right capacity

The correct resin volume depends on your water hardness (°TH) and household size. An undersized model regenerates too frequently; a properly sized model spaces regenerations and optimises salt consumption. If in doubt, our technicians help you select the capacity best suited to your installation and consumption.

Quality & compliance

High-pressure FRP composite vessel, food-grade ion exchange resin, proven Floteck valve, materials in contact with water compliant. Components certified NSF 44, ACS, CE, RoHS and WRAS; pressure tank certified KTW-BWGL, REACH, KEACH and PZH. Each unit undergoes complete inspection (100%) on the production line.

Salt & consumables

The softener operates with regeneration salt in pellet form, to be maintained in the tank. Depending on hardness and consumption, plan appropriate replenishment and periodic resin cleaner. DIMM supplies salt, ACS stainless hoses, fittings, installation kits and maintenance parts compatible with associated products.
