Frequently Asked Questions

What does a water softener do?

A water softener removes hard water minerals like calcium and magnesium through ion exchange, preventing scale buildup in pipes, hot water systems, and appliances. It also makes cleaning easier and improves skin and hair health.

Is the Puretec SOL40-E3 suitable for my home?

The SOL40-E3 is ideal for medium to large homes with a service flow rate of 40 LPM. It handles whole house water softening for households with multiple bathrooms.

Do I need a pre-filter with this water softener?

A carbon pre-filter is recommended if your water supply contains chlorine levels above 1 ppm, as free chlorine can damage the softening resin. A sediment pre-filter is also recommended to protect the system and extend resin life.
