Why choose EcoSoft?

What is hard water?

The simple definition of water hardness is high levels of dissolved minerals including calcium and magnesium in the water. A more pragmatic definition of hard water, is that it makes your skin hard.

This leads to irritated, itchy skin and dry, lifeless hair.

EcoSoft products combat hard water by using a special metal alloy that alters the structure of minerals like calcium and magnesium, preventing them from forming limescale deposits. This process softens the water without the use of chemicals or electricity, making it more skin-friendly and reducing scale buildup on appliances and surfaces.

Which EcoSoft is right for me?

Each EcoSoft is suited for a different flow rate. Our domestic range works as follows:

  • EcoShower - for installation on one shower, no plumber required!

  • Eco20 - for households with a single bathroom

  • Eco35 - for a multiple bathroom household

Ecosoft Vs Competitors

What makes EcoSoft different to other water softeners?

There are many ways to go about softening water. The main solutions you’ll find on the market are typically one of the following options:

  • Resin beads

  • Filter system (Ceramic or other)

  • Electrolysis (Cathode/Anode)

  • Chemical Products (Salts/Chlorine etc.)

Residential Testimonials

  • After having installed the EcoSoft35 water conditioner, we have noticed a considerable reduction in the severity of the white staining around the sink and water outlets. The water tastes different and soap now actually produces a lather. The dishwasher actually leaves the dishes without white stains all over them and the plastics dry considerably better. Rose has noted that all the towels are softer and don’t feel like sheets of cardboard. We are very impressed with the resutls and have passed on recommendations to Ryan, the plumber across the road.

  • I had the EcoSoft Water Econditioner installed in May 2012. I can testify that within one or two weeks I noticed significant improvement in my water quality and this manifested itself in several ways.

    I first noticed that I no longer had to use the same amount of shampoo, and eventually dispensed with conditioner altogether. I was aware of the soft texture of my hair, and that it became easier to manage.

    There was a demonstrable change with my towels in as much as they had a softer pile and felt more luxurious than the ones laundered before the installation. My outlay for washing machine soap and conditioner has halved and since the installation, I have not used any water softeners to protect the washing machine.

    After nine months I undertook the dreaded washing machine ‘filter clean’ and to my amazement, found the filter and surrounding pipework not only clean as new but odourless.

    I no longer experience white water marks on the chrome taps in the bathroom and I am particularly pleased that these troublesome water marks are no longer an eye sore on my ‘brown’ kitchen sink.

    Last but not least, I purchased a new kettle at the same time as the installation and a year on I still have no need or desire to descale it.

    I have no hesitation in recommending the Ecosoft Water Econditioner, and have no regrets at all that I invested in this product.

  • Just a quick note to say thanks for the EcoShower unit we recently fitted to our home. For me, it is all about my hair. After a lifetime of frizzy hair and trying hundreds of different hair products, the EcoShower gives me smooth, frizz-free hair every time! If only I’d had EcoShower on our shower heads years ago!

    Thanks again.

  • Living in the Pilbara, we were used to putting up with hard water. But it had a terrible effect on our skin, leaving it rough, dry, and really itchy, with no amount of moisturiser helping.

    After trialling standard chlorine filters that didn’t help, we decided to give Ecosoft Water Econditioners a go.

    We installed one on the mains and one on the shower. The difference was felt almost immediately.

    No more uncomfortable, itchy skin!

    We are so happy with the Ecosoft Econditioners that we have since purchased another to go on our bath too. Plus, the benefits to our appliances are a bonus!

    Thank you

  • We have installed the Ecosoft Water Econditioner system to our house and have seen remarkable improvements to the water quality since installation.

    In general, I can provide you with the following feedback on the Ecosoft Water Econditioner system:

    The changes Ecosoft has made to the quality of the water in our home were immediate and extremely beneficial.

    We can now get a better soap lather when washing, no more dry felling, no smell, and best of all - no more skin irritations. These effects were all noticed within a week of installation!

    Additional benefits are, no build up of calcium in our swimming pool and no residual calcium marks left after washing the car! The pre-existing marks have since vanished.

    Thanks again,

    Peter McDonald - WA, Australia

  • Thanks to Ecosoft, I no longer need to spend all day trying to scrub the shower, just five minutes and it’s back to sparkling like new. I am definitely happy with the results.

  • I have already noticed a difference. I washed some towels before my holiday but didn’t take them. In contrast the towels I’ve washed since the installation are really soft and fluffy the difference between the two is amazing. There are no longer any watermarks on the taps and I know you won’t appreciate this, I need less shampoo and my hair is really much softer. I’ve even bought a new kettle, gone are the days of de-scaling!!

Operation & Design

Each Ecosoft galvanic alloy core is designed and configured with foundry blended metals, scientifically selected from both the Cathode and Anode end of the Galvanic Scale. The turbulence generated in a Ecosoft Water Econditioner creates an Electro-Chemical (galvanic) reaction between the crystalline minerals in the water and the catalytic alloy core.

The Ecosoft core is configured to create a high degree of turbulence to occur in the water flow, and provides a more pronounced exposure and contact between the crystalline mineral particles and the metals in the alloy core. Immediately upon contact with the core the minerals begin to be dispersed into a colloidal solution. Colloids do not settle or precipitate (much like milk) therefore preventing the formation of scale. Several key occurrences take place which bring about the colloidal formation;

  • The alloy core provides an immediate galvanic site upon which the ions can deposit.

  • The minerals are attracted and repelled several hundred times before clearing the alloy core.

  • Electrons are being captured from the water into the core and dispersed from the core back into the water, there is a very definite cathode-anode galvanic action.

  • Nuclei have been introduced into the system as a result of the cathode-anode reaction and provide a more positive site around which the mineral particles can attract, as opposed to precipitating onto the walls of piping or equipment. The scientific name for this reaction is more readily known as “epitaxial nucleation”.

  • The Zeta potential and surface tension of the water is reduced.

Installation, Maintenance & Warranty Information

Ecosoft Water Econditioners are sized differently, depending on your system’s flow rate.

Each of our product part numbers indicates the nominal flow rate for the unit. This flow rate is not absolute, and the product will still work efficiently with a flow of +/-30%. For example, an ECO20 (20 l/min) works equally well at 14 L/min and 26 L/min.

So why the cut-off point?

We want your Ecosoft Water Econditioner to work as hard as you do, that means getting plenty of flow over the core, ensuring good contact between the core, the water, and all the minerals in the water that are causing the problem. Below 30% of the nominal flow rate and you start to lose contact, and turbulence, within the conditioner, so the conditioner is not working as hard as it should be. In this case, we would recommend a smaller conditioner.

Above 30% of the nominal flow rate and you ‘may’ start to run into issues with pressure drop. However, this is typically only an issue on process-critical equipment such as cooling towers, heat exchangers, etc. In this case, we would recommend a larger conditioner.

No waste. No maintenance. No ongoing costs.

Whilst installing your Ecosoft Water Econditioner on your shower, appliance or RV is a simple task for the average home handyman, installation of larger units should be carried out by a licensed plumber for complete peace of mind.

FAQ’s

  • The simple definition of water hardness is the amount of dissolved calcium and magnesium in the water. Hard water is high in dissolved minerals, both calcium and magnesium. You may have felt the effects of hard water, literally, the last time you washed your hands. Depending on the hardness of your water, after using soap to wash you may have felt like there was a film of residue left on your hands. In hard water, soap reacts with the calcium (which is relatively high in hard water) to form “soap scum”. When using hard water, more soap or detergent is needed to get things clean, be it your hands, hair, or your laundry.

  • The presence or absence of the hardness minerals in drinking water is not known to pose a health risk to users. Hardness is normally considered an aesthetic water quality factor. The presence of some dissolved mineral material in drinking water is typically what gives the water its characteristic and pleasant taste. At higher concentrations however, hardness creates the following consumer problems.

    • Produces soap scum most noticeable on tubs and showers.

    • Produces white mineral deposits on dishes more noticeable on clear glassware.

    • Reduces the efficiency of devices that heat water. As hardness deposits build (lime scale) in thickness, they act like insulation, reducing the efficiency of heat transfer.

    • Just 3mm of lime scale will increase heating costs by 33%

  • There are a number of reactions that take place in a ECOSOFT unit as water contacts the complex alloy core. The patented catalytic alloy in the Ecosoft Water Softener generates an electro-chemical (galvanic) reaction causing the calcium ions to flocculate as a colloid.

    Colloids do not settle or precipitate (form scale) but always stay in solution. Milk is a colloid, with billions of nano sized particles which stay permanently in solution. These generated reactions change the crystalline structure of the minerals in the water creating a very fine non sticking deposit (colloid).

    The crystalline colloids will either flow through an open loop system in colloidal suspension, settle at the low point of a system (which can be flushed during routine maintenance) or can be easily filtered down stream of the ECOSOFT. Any residue left on a surface is easily removed.

  • Several factors need to be taken into consideration;

    • The thickness, hardness and type of scale.

    • The length of the scaled area from the ECOSOFT.

    • The volume of water flowing through the system

    In many instances the thickness of scale in the water carrying system has taken a number of weeks, months or years to build up. Once installed ECOSOFT will begin to work immediately. It may take equally as long or longer to remove the existing scale as it took for the scale to build up.

  • Yes. Ecosoft softens water, because of the definite change in the characteristics of the minerals, the surface ‘ tension of the water is reduced giving you softer, “wetter” water.

  • Yes, Simply remove the corresponding length of pipe and install the Ecosoft water softener. This should be done by a licenced plumbing professional.

  • The Ecosoft water softener will not affect water pressure and flow rates significantly. It is important to select the correct size water softener for the application. Selection of an Ecosoft is very simple; all you need to know is;

    • The flow rate of the system.

    • If the Ecosoft is to be installed in a mains pressure system or a pump driven system. Simply compare the flow rate you have against the Ecosoft specifications data sheet and select the corresponding unit. Should your flow rate fall between models, and if pressure is critical, select the larger of the two units otherwise select the smaller unit! The harder Ecosoft works the better the result.

  • No, the Ecosoft alloy core is not a sacrificial anode and therefore does not need to be replaced. We still have units working that were installed over 20 years ago!

  • No. Once installed, the Ecosoft water softener does not require any maintenance.

  • The Ecosoft water softener does not need to be earthed and can be installed above or below ground.

  • Saltwater conditioners may solve one problem but introduce others by adding unwanted pollutants to the environment and in addition can cause safety and health issues. The Ecosoft water softener is chemical free and therefore 100% environmentally friendly!

  • Magnetic and Powered water conditioners are clamped to the outside of a pipe and generate a magnetic field through which the water travels. The powered units only operate whilst there is power. Ecosoft has no power supply, the water contacts our scientifically engineered alloy core and it works effectively with either a laminar or turbulent supply of hot or cold water.
