Compact water softener 18 L resin, integrated salt tank and Floteck 165 volumetric valve.

Floteck Lama water softener — 18 L resin

The Floteck Lama softener 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, for softer water that is more pleasant for skin, hair and laundry, and more economical in energy and maintenance products. It combines food-grade ion exchange resin and a Floteck 165 volumetric valve, with regeneration controlled by volume.

How it works

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

Technical specifications

Why soften your water?

Hard water deposits scale in pipework, hot water tanks and heating elements: energy consumption rises, appliances wear out and taps become scaled up. By removing hardness, the softener extends the life of equipment, reduces energy bills, decreases the use of soaps and detergents and makes water softer for daily use.

The Floteck Lama range

The Lama range combines controlled footprint, economical regeneration and a Floteck 165 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 protecting equipment, softened water transforms daily life: fewer limescale marks on taps, shower and dishes, softer laundry, less aggressive skin and hair, and more effective maintenance products 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 while remaining unobtrusive.

Installation & maintenance

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

Choosing the right capacity

The right resin volume depends on your water hardness (°TH) and the number of people in the household. An undersized model regenerates too often; a well-chosen model spaces out 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 for appropriate replenishment and periodic resin cleaner. DIMM supplies salt, ACS stainless steel hoses, fittings, installation kits and maintenance parts compatible with associated products.
