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;

Tick The alloy core provides an immediate galvanic site upon which the ions can deposit.
Tick The minerals are attracted and repelled several hundred times before clearing the alloy core.
Tick 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.
Tick 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”.
Tick The Zeta potential and surface tension of the water is reduced.

FAQs

What is Hard water?

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.

What are the effects of hard water?

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%

It has also been observed that areas of higher hardness in drinking water maybe associated with lower incidents of heart disease. This possible relationship is being investigated.

How does an Ecosoft water softener work?

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.

Once installed, will existing scale be removed and how long does it take to clean the system?

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.

Does this unit soften water?

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.

Is the Ecosoft water softener easy to install?

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

Will the Ecosoft water softener affect my water pressure and flow rates?

The Ecosoft water softener will not affect water pressure and flow rates. 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.

Does the Ecosoft water softener alloy core need to be replaced?

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!

Does the Ecosoft water softener require ongoing maintenance?

Once installed, The Ecosoft water softener does not require any maintenance.

Is it necessary to earth the Ecosoft water softener?

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

Why use the Ecosoft water softener as opposed to a saltwater softener?

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!

What is the difference between Ecosoft and Magnetic and Powered water conditioners?

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.

Installation, Maintenance & Warranty Information

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

Each of our product part numbers indicate 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%. As an example, an ECO20 (20 l/min) works equally well at 14 l/min and at 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 handy man, installation of larger units should be carried out by a licensed plumber for complete peace of mind.

We know what is like, Hard Water makes life tough.

Hot water systems fail prematurely inspite of constant maintenance. Evaporative coolers are inefficient because of the scale build up on the pads which need to be replaced all too frequently.

Wet areas around the home are difficult to clean.

And taking a shower presents it’s own challenges with soap being difficult to lather, hair is left dry and difficult to manage, your skin is left dry, and often itchy, because the of Hard Water.

Recirculating systems such as evaporative coolers and swimming pools require extra protection.

Designed and manufactured in Australia, Ecosoft water softener Perth provides the ultimate solution to all of your problems associated with Hard Water.

Mining

Mining & Industry

Mining applications present their own unique challenges. Ground water, by default, typically has a very high mineral count as measured by the Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) count in the water.

Mines are often located in extremely remote regions with little or no access to to fresh surface water. As a result, mining operations are often limited to using ground water for everything from potable water for accommodation camps, through to flushing and down hole water systems used in drilling applications.

This highly mineralised water causes ongoing problems for asset owners across the mines processes and infrastructure.

Typical applications where Ecosoft Water Econditioners can reduce system maintenance and increase equipment life cycle include:

Blast Hole Drill Rigs, Jumbos, Diamond Drilling, Cooling Towers, Heat Exchangers, Evaporative Coolers, Hot Water Systems, Accommodation, De-Watering etc
