Description

SofterWater™ ApplianceSoft Dishwasher and Washing Machine Water Softener. For protecting appliances from scale build-up.

100% designed and manufactured in Australia
, the SofterWater™ ApplianceSoft has been proven to reduce scale build-up in water-consuming appliances. Improves appliance performance and reliability while limiting risk of scale-related damage.  Larger models also available.

What Does It Do?

Limescale build-up from hard water is a persistent threat to water-consuming appliances like dishwashers, washing machines, drink dispensers, and coffee machines.

Limescale creates a hard crust which can impair the performance of internal components including heating elements, boilers, solenoids, switches, and water lines. This can lead to poor performance, reduced reliability, and higher energy costs.

When scale levels are very high, it can even cause a catastrophic failure, which can be inconvenient and very costly.

The SofterWater™ ApplianceSoft was developed to tackle limescale build-up within appliances, ensuring they remain efficient and in good working order.

SofterWater™ products use a patented process to change the electrical charge of the dissolved minerals in water.

This change makes dissolved minerals clump together in non-sticking colloids which remain in suspension. This process reduces the build-up of hard-to-remove limescale from your appliances.

This process does not involve chemicals and the unit does not require electricity. Once installed, the SofterWater™ ApplianceSoft will last for many years, if not decades.

Comes with a Lifetime Manufacturer Warranty (See manufacturer website for details).

SofterWater™ ApplianceSoft Hard Water Softener – Benefits

  • Protects water-consuming appliances from damage
    The SofterWater™ ApplianceSoft will dramatically reduce the build-up of hard limescale in appliances, potentially saving you thousands of dollars.
  • No impact on taste or aroma
    Traditional water softeners typically use ion exchange resin to reduce the level of dissolved minerals in your water. Unfortunately, this can change the flavour of your water, making it salty. The ApplianceSoft won’t change the flavour or odour of your water in any way.
  • Simple installation
    Installation is simple for any qualified tradesman. They will cut into your main water line and screw it on. It couldn’t be easier.

SofterWater™ ApplianceSoft Hard Water Softener – How It Works

  1. SofterWater™ units are made using a special foundry process, combining a group of metals on the anode and cathode galvanic scale. This alloy has a non-sacrificial anode, which means it will never need replacement.
  2. As water flows into the unit, it moves through a series of baffles causing intense galvanic reactions.
  3. Most of the minerals in the water are attracted to the sites of these reactions, forming clumps which remain suspended in the water instead of forming scale.
  4. Any scale that builds-up is much easier to remove as it does not form as a hard crust.

It’s important to note that each SofterWater™ unit is designed for a specific flow rate range. This is to ensure appropriate contact time between the water and galvanic reaction sites without impacting flow rate. The SofterWater™ is ideal for 2 bathroom homes.

SofterWater™ ApplianceSoft Hard Water Softener – FAQ

What Type Of Appliances Is This Designed For?

The SofterWater™ ApplianceSoft can be used on any appliance with a flow rate of between 6 to 15 litres per minute.

This makes the unit ideal for washing machines, dishwashers, water heaters, and other appliances with a reasonable fast flow rate.

Are There Appliances It Is Unsuitable For?

Avoid using the SofterWater™ ApplianceSoft on appliances that have flow rates above or below 6 to 15 litres per minute.

If the incoming flow rate is too slow, there will be insufficient turbulence, which impacts scale reduction capacity. If it is too fast, the unit will become congested and restrict flow.

This unit would be unsuitable for appliances which ‘drip feed’ in water as needed. For example, it would be unsuitable for an espresso coffee machine. For that application, you would need the SofterWater™ T5.

Does The ApplianceSoft Require Any Maintenance?

No it doesn’t.

Once installed, you can expect to get many years, if not, many decades of use from it. The alloy and stainless steel housing are resistant to corrosion and extremely robust.

Does The Internal Alloy Ever Need To Be Replaced?

No, it doesn’t.

The special alloy contained within SofterWater™ conditioners is not a sacrificial anode, which means it does not corrode or lose molecules over time. This means it will technically be capable of lasting for decades.

In fact, there are commercial softening units installed by SofterWater™  over 20 years ago which are still effective today.

Will It Affect My Flow Rate?

No, it will not impact your flow rate.

However, it is important to select the correct unit for your application. To choose the correct unit, compare your average/maximum flow rates against SofterWater™ Conditioners Model Application guide.

SofterWater™ ApplianceSoft Whole House Hard Water Softener – Testimonials

“As you know, we have a bore feeding into quite a large tank which we then pump to the house with an inline pressure pump.

We were plagued with lime scale from the minute we installed the bore. There was notable build up in all taps, shower heads blocking within a month and the white scale covering everything else. The evaporative air conditioner we had installed would block in less than 10 days, with the water squirting out the side, not just running down the pads.

We had to use industrial strength de-scaler in the air conditioner and had been told we should never have installed this type of air conditioner.

Since installing a SofterWater Conditioner on the pressure pump and one on the air conditioner we have had fantastic results.”
