EWC
Manual Water Softener for Glasswashers and Dishwashers
£102.00(£122.40 inc VAT)
Delivery Information
Price Match
The EWC Manual Water Softener is a compact inline unit that protects commercial glasswashers and dishwashers from the effects of hard water. It passes the incoming cold water supply through a resin bed that exchanges calcium and magnesium ions, the minerals responsible for limescale, for sodium ions. Softened water reaches the machine with no electrical connection required, and the unit is regenerated by hand with standard salt. It comes in four sizes: 8 litre, 12 litre, 16 litre and 20 litre.
Hard water is one of the most consistent causes of premature wear in commercial warewashing equipment. Scale builds up on heating elements, spray arms and internal pipework, which weakens wash performance, raises energy use and shortens equipment life. Fitting a softener on the cold water feed ahead of the machine deals with the problem at source.
- Protects heating elements and spray arms from limescale
- Helps keep wash and rinse results consistent
- No electrical supply needed, plumbed inline on the cold water feed
- Stainless steel construction for commercial kitchens
- Flexible hose connection for tight under-counter spaces
- Manual regeneration with salt keeps running costs low
Choosing a size
The 8 litre suits small glasswashers and undercounter dishwashers in lower-volume settings such as small bars, cafes and staff canteens. The 12, 16 and 20 litre sizes are for single commercial dishwashers and glasswashers. Choose a larger size for higher throughput or harder water, because the resin bed then lasts longer between regenerations. How often you regenerate depends on your local water hardness and daily volume.
These units are not suitable for ice machines, coffee equipment or combi ovens, or anywhere the water forms part of a consumable product. Those need separately treated water. For help choosing a size, call the team on 01304 827272.
Frequently asked questions
How do I know when the softener needs regenerating?
There is no automatic indicator. Regeneration frequency depends on your local water hardness and daily machine use, so most operators set a routine and adjust if spotting or scale returns. Your water supplier can confirm your water hardness.
Is this softener suitable for coffee machines or ice makers?
No. It is designed for glasswashers and dishwashers. It is not suitable for equipment where the treated water forms part of a consumable product, including coffee machines, ice machines and combi ovens.
Which size should I choose?
The 8 litre suits small glasswashers and undercounter dishwashers in lower-volume settings. The 12, 16 and 20 litre sizes suit single commercial dishwashers and glasswashers. Choose a larger size for higher throughput or harder water. Call the team on 01304 827272 if you need help.
