What happy customers say

Dear Ecosoft Re Ecosoft Water Conditioner, Dear Mike, Thanks for providing us with the Ecosoft Water Conditioner units. 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 an Ecosoft Water Conditioner on the pressure pump and one on the air conditioner we have had fantastic results. In over 2 months, the air conditioner that would only run for 10 days hasn’t missed a beat. We got up onto the roof to check the pads and they are cleaner than after we had used the de-scaler. We have also noticed less white build up in the laundry sink, bath and shower and glasses in the dishwasher come out without white marks on them. Thanks" Anne and Glen Baldivis Perth Western Australia

"Hi, Please find attached 2 photos of my arm, one taken before we installed the water softener and one today. They’re not the greatest photos but I think one can see a lot less irritation on the second pic. I am such a fan of this product. For the first time since we moved to Adelaide I am enjoying my shower and not getting out and itching immediately after. The water definitely feels different and better and not itching has helped my skin so much. Obviously there is no cure for eczema but this Shower Unit has definitely helped me. No changes to the shower routine, I always shower before going to bed and before installing the unit got into bed itchy every night and I haven’t had that since. I do try to keep the water as tepid as possible as well cos very hot water is not good for eczema. If you send me a few of your brochures I’d be happy to ask my dermatologist to hand them to patients who may benefit. I’m seeing my dermatologist end September. Thank you so much Warm regards, LEE GODDARD" Lee Goddard 15 September 2013 2:04 PM

How does it work?

Each Ecosoft patented alloy core is designed and configured with specially foundry blended metals scientifically selected from both the Cathode and Anode end of the Galvanic Scale. The turbulence generated in the Ecosoft 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.

Ecosoft’s Effect on Zeta Potential and Surface Tension

As the surface tension of water is decreased so is its ability to carry mineral. Surface tension and mineral charge are most easily understood if we think of positive charges and increased surface tension as scale forming or concentrating and negative charges and decreased surface tension as scale retarding or dissipating. Water surface tension is dramatically decreased after a single pass through a Ecosoft water softener. Samples of raw and Ecosoft treated water were generated on April 27, 2004 and were shipped to Core Labs in Calgary for analysis.

An 8 day old water sample having had a single pass through a Ecosoft water softener demonstrated a lower surface tension of 9.5 dynes/cm which exhibits a surface tension similar in magnitude to water that has been heated to 80 degrees C.

Ecosoft Water Conditioners are sized solely on your systems flow rate.

Each product part number indicates a nominal flow that can be varied +/- 30% of the indicated flow. As an example, an ECO20 (18 l/min) works equally at 12.5 l/min and at 23.5 l/min.

So why the cut off point? We want your Ecosoft Water Conditioner to work as hard as you do, that means getting plenty of turbulent flow over the galvanic alloy core, ensuring lots of contact between the core, the water, and all of those minerals in the water thats causing the problem. Below 30% of the nominal flow rate you start to get laminar flow across the alloy i.e. reduced contact. Better to choose a smaller conditioner.

Above 30% of the nominal flow rate you 'may' start to run into issues with pressure drop, particularly if your installation is on process critial equipment such as a cooler tower, boiler or the like. In this case it is better to choose a larger conditioner.

It is important to select the correct size Ecosoft Water Conditioner for your application. Selection of an Ecosoft Water Conditioner is simple, you need to know:

The flow of the system

The size of the supply line

Simply compare the flow rate you have against the Ecosoft Water Conditioner specifications data sheet and select the corresponding unit.

Installation

1. Identify a suitable location

2. Remove corresponding length of pipe

Frequently Asked Questions

Q. How does ECOSOFT work?

A. 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 acolloid, 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). 

Q. What happens to these very fine non sticking deposits?

A. 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.  

Q. Will existing scale be removed and how long does it take to clean the system?

A. 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. 

Q. Does ECOSOFT soften water?

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

Q. Is ECOSOFT easy to install?

A. Yes, Simply remove the corresponding length of pipe and install the ECOSOFT

Q. Will ECOSOFT affect water pressure and flow rates?

A. No. It is important to select the correct size ECOSOFT for the application. 

Selection of a 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

Q. Does the ECOSOFT alloy core need to be replaced?

A. 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!

Q. Does the ECOSOFT unit require ongoing maintenance?

A. No, once installed ECOSOFT does not require any maintenance

Q. Is it necessary to earth the ECOSOFT?

A. No, ECOSOFT does not need to be earthed and can be installed above or below ground.

Q. Why use ECOSOFT as opposed to a salt water softener?

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

Q. What is the difference between ECOSOFT and Magnetic and Powered water conditioners?

A. 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 plug, the water contacts our scientifically engineered alloy core and it works effectively with either a laminar or turbulent supply of water in hot or cold water.
