WHY CHOOSE CEN1044ECOM?

Hard water contains elevated levels of calcium and magnesium salts. These minerals are the main cause of limescale deposits on heating elements, inside boilers and pipes, as well as on taps, shower screens and sanitary equipment.

CEN1044ECOM reduces water hardness by exchanging calcium (Ca²⁺) and magnesium (Mg²⁺) ions for sodium (Na⁺) ions.

As a result, the water becomes softer and limescale formation is significantly reduced.

MAIN BENEFITS

• Effectively reduces water hardness
• Protects boilers and water heaters against limescale
• Helps extend the service life of washing machines and dishwashers
• Reduces limescale deposits on taps, showers and sanitary equipment
• Improves water quality for washing and everyday household use
• Automatic regeneration based on water consumption
• Economical salt and water consumption
• Suitable for residential and commercial applications
• Simple operation and maintenance

SYSTEM DESIGN

CEN1044ECOM consists of:

• 10 × 44″ pressure vessel
• RUNXIN F117Q3 automatic control valve
• Ecosoft Ecolite Soft ion exchange resin
• Internal water distribution system
• Brine tank with brine system

The filtration media is installed inside a durable composite pressure vessel.

ECOSOFT ECOLITE SOFT ION EXCHANGE RESIN

Ecosoft Ecolite Soft is a high-capacity strong-acid cation exchange resin in Na⁺ form specifically designed for water softening.

As water passes through the resin bed, calcium (Ca²⁺) and magnesium (Mg²⁺) ions responsible for water hardness are exchanged for sodium (Na⁺) ions.

This process reduces water hardness and helps prevent intensive limescale formation on water heating equipment, pipes, sanitary equipment and other surfaces.

Ecolite Soft resin provides high chemical and physical stability and is designed for long-term operation.

Standard sodium chloride (NaCl) tablet salt is used for resin regeneration.

HOW DOES CEN1044ECOM WORK?

Water, preferably pre-filtered to remove mechanical impurities, enters the CEN1044ECOM pressure vessel.

As the water passes through the Ecolite Soft ion exchange resin, calcium and magnesium ions are exchanged for sodium ions.

When the resin approaches the end of its operating capacity, the RUNXIN F117Q3 control valve automatically starts the regeneration cycle.

During regeneration, the brine solution restores the resin’s ability to soften water. Accumulated calcium and magnesium ions are flushed into the drain together with the regeneration water.

After regeneration is completed, the system automatically returns to normal service mode.

AUTOMATIC RUNXIN F117Q3 CONTROL VALVE

CEN1044ECOM is equipped with a RUNXIN F117Q3 automatic control valve.

The control valve manages the operation of the water softener and automatically performs the regeneration process.

RUNXIN F117Q3 BENEFITS

• Fully automatic operation
• Regeneration based on water consumption and/or programmed time
• Integrated water meter
• Simple programming
• Designed for water softening systems
• Nominal valve flow rate up to 3 m³/h
• 3/4″ connections

WHERE CAN CEN1044ECOM BE USED?

CEN1044ECOM is suitable for:

• Private houses
• Apartments with an individual water supply inlet
• Offices
• Cafés and restaurants
• Guest houses
• Beauty salons and SPA facilities
• Small commercial and production facilities
• Other commercial water supply applications

The appropriate water treatment system should always be selected according to the water analysis, incoming water hardness and maximum water consumption of the property.

INCOMING WATER REQUIREMENTS

For efficient and long-term operation of the water softener, the quality of the incoming water must be taken into consideration.

Iron (Fe): ≤ 0.2 mg/L

Manganese (Mn): ≤ 0.05 mg/L

Oxidizability: ≤ 5 mg O₂/L

Chlorine: ≤ 0.5 mg/L

Recommended mechanical pre-filtration: 20–100 μm

If the incoming water contains elevated concentrations of iron, manganese, ammonium or organic substances, additional pre-treatment may be required.

APPROXIMATE CAPACITY BETWEEN REGENERATIONS

The actual capacity of the water softener depends primarily on the hardness of the incoming water.

With 30 L of Ecosoft Ecolite Soft ion exchange resin, the approximate capacity is:

EXAMPLE

At an incoming water hardness of 6.0 mg-eq/L, a CEN1044ECOM containing 30 L of Ecosoft Ecolite Soft ion exchange resin can soften approximately 5 m³ of water between regenerations.

The actual capacity may vary depending on the composition of the incoming water, required residual hardness, regeneration salt dosage and control valve settings.

MAINTENANCE

CEN1044ECOM operates automatically and does not require complicated daily maintenance.

The user should regularly check the salt level in the brine tank and add tablet salt intended for water softening systems when required.

We recommend professional inspection and maintenance of the system at least once a year.

Regular maintenance helps ensure efficient operation, economical salt consumption and a long service life of the system.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION

The primary function of CEN1044ECOM is water softening and protection against limescale.

The system is primarily intended to remove calcium and magnesium ions responsible for water hardness.

If the incoming water contains elevated concentrations of iron, manganese, ammonium, organic substances or other contaminants, a water analysis should be carried out before selecting the treatment system.

Depending on the water analysis results, a different filtration technology or additional pre-treatment may be required.

CENTAVR Ūdens Filtri specialists can help select the appropriate water treatment solution based on your water analysis, water consumption and operating conditions.

*The indicated operating flow rate is approximate. Actual performance depends on incoming water quality, pressure, hardness and operating conditions.
