RESIDENTIAL APPLICATIONS
AV water treatment is suitable for all residential properties preventing limescale formation throughout the hot and cold water systems and actively removing existing deposits. The AV unit offers significant benefits over the traditional salt regeneration water softeners.
Comparison Between AV Treatment and Traditional Water Softeners
AV TREATMENT
No plumbing modifications generally required
Physically small size. Can be installed without affecting storage space
Does not require chemicals or salt
Retains essential minerals, calcium and magnesium
AV treated water is safe to drink and noticeably improves the taste. Water is beneficial to plants and safe to use in boiler systems and water heaters
Will actively remove existing limescale deposits within a system
Requires no servicing or maintenance
No risk of water leakage
No water wasted
No flow restrictions or limitations
Fit and forget technology with no ongoing costs. Minimal energy consumption. Design life 20 years with no loss of performance
WATER SOFTENER
Needs to be physically plumbed into water system
Physically large using up useful storage space and requiring access for servicing
Requires constant supply of salt
Removes calcium and magnesium and replaces them with sodium chloride (salt)
Advisable not to drink softened water due to sodium content. Not suitable for watering plants. Not suitable for use in boilers due to corrosive effects of sodium. (Exception is the hot water side of combination boilers)
Can not remove existing limescale deposits
Should be regularly serviced. Resin beads will require replacement during the operational lifespan of the unit
Pipework seals will require replacement during the operational lifetime of the unit
Regular regeneration cycles will flush resin beads with fresh water and discharge water into the drainage system wasting water and, on metered supplies, will cost money
Maximum flow rates apply dependent on model selected
Continued ongoing costs for salt and servicing for an indeterminate period
Residential water systems vary in layouts and pipework installations.
