Automatic water softener Carix™

Ion exchange without regeneration chemicals Carix™ is the only ion exchange process for drinking water softening without harmful regeneration chemicals. The exchanger resins are regenerated by the produced carbon dioxide. • low operating costs through the environmentally-friendly regeneration of both exchange resins by only one regeneration medium and its recovery • ca. 60% less wastewater and ca. 50% less energy consumption compared to membrane desalination (nanofiltration, reverse osmosis) • simultaneous removal of cations and anions without corrosive effects on the water quality • direct wastewater discharge of solids-free "mineral water" to the receiving stream without adding salt by means of regeneration chemicals or antiscalants • trouble-free operation in the partial load range or during system startup and shutdown • easy to use with maximum process automation • stable and insensitive to changes in the quality of untreated water • environmentally friendly consumption of greenhouse gas carbon dioxide during regeneration • consumers save energy and use less detergents, washing and cleaning agents • protection of equipment against failure due to scaling or fouling and corrosion Proven to work To date more than fifteen Carix™-plants have been installed all over Germany. The first plant started in 1986 and since then has delivered top-quality drinking water. Hard water Wherever there is hard water, there is limescale caused by calcium, magnesium and hydrogen carbonate dissolved in the water.
