Complete package water softening system R2D2 - 48

Aqmos R2D2-48 water softener – Effective limescale reduction for households including ionizer

Product overview

The Water softening system The Aqmos R2D2-48 is ideally suited for households with up to five people. It ensures soft water by reliably removing limescale. With a regeneration capacity of up to 4800 liters at an inlet water hardness of 10°dH, it guarantees consistently soft water. limescale-free Tap water quality.

Technical details

The compact unit consists of a robust cabinet housing that offers space for up to 35 kg of regeneration salt. Inside is a GRP pressure vessel filled with high-quality ion exchange resin. The system operates fully automatically and adapts to individual water consumption.

The integrated BNT 1650 water-volume-controlled valve continuously measures the soft water flow. As soon as the preset volume is reached, regeneration conveniently starts at 2:00 AM. A safety reserve of soft water is always available.

How ion exchange works

The heart of the R2D2-48 is its high-performance ion exchange resin. This resin is saturated with sodium ions (Na⁺). As hard tap water flows through, calcium (Ca²⁺) and magnesium (Mg²⁺) ions are exchanged for sodium. This chemically softens the water and prevents limescale buildup.

After the exchange process, the softened water flows into your home's water supply. The exchanged salt is later flushed out during automatic regeneration and disposed of via a separate drain.

Structure and components

The cabinet housing contains both the pressurized bottle with ion exchange resin and the salt container for brine preparation. The removable lid allows for easy refilling with regeneration salt. The storage container's capacity of up to 35 kg of salt ensures long intervals between refills.

The BNT 1650 valve is mounted on the pressure cylinder and is factory-set for delayed, volume-controlled regeneration. It controls the individual phases and ensures on-demand regeneration without user intervention.

Regeneration cycle

Once the resin's capacity is exhausted, the system automatically starts the regeneration process. A highly concentrated saline solution (sodium chloride) is passed over the resin to dissolve the adsorbed calcium and magnesium ions.

After the cleaning cycle, the dissolved hardness minerals are flushed down the drain with the excess brine. The resin is then fully recoated with sodium ions and ready for the next softening phase.

During regeneration, an integrated bypass continues to supply untreated tap water, ensuring an uninterrupted water supply.

Advantages of the Aqmos R2D2-48

The system provides soft water throughout the entire household and effectively prevents limescale buildup in pipes, fittings, and household appliances. This increases operational reliability and reduces the long-term energy consumption of your water heaters.

With an ion exchange resin lifespan of over 20 years and low-maintenance operation, the Aqmos R2D2-48 impresses with its durability and ease of use. Its discreet design blends seamlessly into utility rooms or basements.

Areas of application and installation

The Aqmos R2D2-48 is ideally suited for single-family homes, semi-detached houses, and smaller multi-family buildings. Its compact design allows for flexible installation in utility rooms or utility rooms.

Commissioning is carried out by qualified personnel who connect the system to the existing water supply, configure the valve, and fill the salt container. After the initial filling, the system operates fully automatically and only notifies the user when maintenance or salt refilling is required.

Resin Clean – Ion exchange resin cleaner and disinfectant

Resin Clean is a highly concentrated liquid cleaner specifically developed to clean and disinfect ion exchange resin during the regeneration cycle. This ensures that the exchange capacity is maintained long-term, even in the presence of iron, manganese, or organic contaminants.

Application and Functionality of Resin Clean

Add 10 ml of Resin Clean directly into the brine pipe for every liter of resin. During the next regeneration, the concentrate dissolves iron, manganese, and sludge deposits from the resin bed and reliably flushes them down the drain.

Composition and dosage

The product is based on phosphoric acid, an effective preservative (benzalkonium chloride), and demineralized water. Its simple dosage ensures convenient and safe application.
