Classeq WS-Auto Automatic External Cold Feed Water Softener

The Classeq WS-Auto is a fully automatic external water softener designed to protect commercial warewashers from limescale build-up. Connected to the cold water feed, it conditions incoming water before it reaches the machine, helping to prevent the scale accumulation that is one of the most common causes of warewasher performance problems and premature component failure in hard water areas.

In busy kitchen environments, limescale is a persistent issue. It restricts water flow, reduces heating efficiency, and shortens the working life of elements, pumps, and spray arms. The WS-Auto addresses this at source rather than relying solely on rinse aid chemistry or periodic descaling. It is compatible with all current Classeq undercounter and pass-through models, including Viso utensil washers and older Hydro machines, making it a practical addition to an existing installation as well as a new one.

A key practical feature is the automatic regeneration cycle, which the unit is designed to run during quieter periods rather than mid-service. This means the softener is available when it is needed most and does not interrupt wash cycles at inconvenient times. Day-to-day operation requires no manual intervention beyond keeping the unit supplied with salt.

• Reduces limescale entering the machine, extending component service life
• Automatic regeneration timed to avoid disruption during service
• Helps maintain wash and rinse performance in hard water areas
• Straightforward installation on the cold water supply line
• Supports all current Classeq undercounter and pass-through models

This unit is well suited to any site running a Classeq washer in a moderate to hard water area where limescale is a known operational concern. For sites running multiple machines or higher-volume operations, it is worth discussing whether additional water treatment provision would be appropriate.

If you are unsure whether your water hardness warrants a softener, or want to confirm compatibility with your existing machine, the team is happy to talk it through before you commit.
