Around 70 % of the UK is affected by hard water, businesses and industries of all sizes can see the effects, including:
- Medical - sterilising and cleaning
- Pharmaceutical
- Catering - commercial kitchens (restaurants and hotels etc.)
- Leisure - swimming pools and spa's
- Nursing Homes - kitchens and cleaning
- Food Processing plants - food preparation
Financial and Operational Benefits
- Prevents scale formation on metal surfaces
- Improves performance of heating elements
- Lowers servicing costs
- Reduces machinery downtime
- Increases equipment life
- Improves cleaning quality
Commercial / Industrial water softeners are used to remove the hardness from the water. The hardness of water is determined by the amount of Calcium and Magnesium dissolved in water. The more Calcium and magnesium the water contains the harder it is. The total water hardness is divided into temporary hardness and permanent hardness.
Particularly the temporary hardness causes problems and leads to scale formation, mainly as a result of water temperature changes. The lime scale that is released in the form of small crystals causing many problems and great expense in maintenance.
Limescale is a persistent problem in Boilers, Humidifiers, Dishwashers, Washing Machines, Reverse Osmosis systems, Thermostats and many more items.
Limescale reduces the efficiency of Cleaning chemicals, affects the heating of water and slows the operation of equipment such as RO plants.
Commercial Water Softener Systems
GM Autoflow can supply numerous types of industrial water softeners in either "Simplex", "Duplex","Triplex" or even "Quad" systems.
We design and build these large water softeners using the tried and tested manufacturers, either "Fleck" or "GE Osmonics", although we can supply others if the system requires something different.
Simplex Water Softener, Term used for a single vessel system, we supply industrial softeners that regenerate on either a time controlled basis or meter controlled for where the usage will tend to vary from day to day. Typical application are where the usage per day has been calculated and will not vary hugely, whilst not being required 24 hours per day.
Duplex Water Softener, Term used to describe a twin vessel system as with the simplex system when the programmed volume has been reached the service unit that is exhausted goes immediately into regen and the unit that was in stand by automatically goes into service thus ensuring 24/7 soft water production. Typical applications are Hotels, Restaurants, Car Washes and where the anticipated usage is not accurate or may well increase during seasonal operations.
Triplex Water Softener, Term used to describe a three vessel system this will enable you to achieve high service flow rates should high peak flow rates be required. The system sensors monitors flow rates and makes two of the three units come into service should the demand require it as with a Duplex system when the programmed capacity has been reached the exhausted unit goes into regeneration, the other two continue on in service, each unit has its own individual controls so they can be programmed to run in a number of formats to suit the clients requirements. Typical applications are large hotels, leisure parks and bottling plants.
Quad Water Softener,
This is fundamentally the same as a Triplex system, only using 4 vessels configured to suit the customers flow rate requirements. Generally only used where very high flow rates are required on a constant basis, as was the case at Ascot Racecourse when we designed built and installed this system.

More economical when it comes to using salt and regeneration water.
A metered softener will only regenerate when a pre-set volume of softened water has been used regardless of the number of days this takes. This avoids under or over regenerating of the softener when your water demand varies.
The volume of softened water is calculated by the hardness of your water supply, the capacity of the water softener and usage.
Choose from CW20, CW30, CW50, CW60, CW75 & CW100 Water Softeners depending on the required flow rate and soft water capacity.

The time clock is set to carry out its regeneration on set days. This is usually calculated by the hardness of your water supply, the capacity of the water softener and usage.
When installed, the softener is set to regenerate at usually 2.00a.m. at the calculated regeneration frequency.
To ensure that soft water is always available, the interval between regenerations will be under estimated rather than over estimated.
The softener will then regenerate at this set interval regardless of the volume of water used.
Choose from CW20, CW30, CW50 Water Softeners depending on the required flow rate and soft water capacity.

Calcium Treatment Units (CTUs) consist of a top quality resin vessel containing a de-alk resin which assist in the removal of chlorine, limescale, heavy metals - lead, copper, mercury & prolongs equipment and and reduces equipment breakdown frequency. The units also contain activated carbon for removal of taste and odours that often affect beverage equipment results.

The units also contain activated carbon for removal of taste and odours that often affect beverage equipment results.
The media within the vessel will need exchanging once its capacity has been exhausted. To prevent unnecessary changes all units are supplied with a water usage meter and connection hoses as standard.
Sizes range from 3,300 litres to 20,000 litres. Larger, bespoke units can be supplied to suit your needs.
Some of our most popular sizes are CTU10 = size 2, CTU18 = size 3 and CTU23 = size 3a.
We are fast becoming one of the largest suppliers of these units in the UK and are offering baged or mixed resin to allow customers the flexibility to make the changeovers themselves - no more waiting for an engineer to exchange your resin!

Water Softener Benefits
Water Softeners: Saving You Money
Softened water saves you time and money – studies by the British Water Quality Group show that water softening can save a 4-person household an average of £200 per year.
Hard water contains dissolved lime, chalk and other minerals and quickly causes scale to form on all surfaces which come into contact with it, from sinks and toilets to shower heads and taps. The unseen and potentially more costly examples of hard water are clogged pipes and failure of central heating elements/pumps.
British Water's Quality Group estimate that just 1.5mm of scale reduces the efficiency of your boiler by almost 10%.
In addition, you will use less detergents, soaps, and other cleaning chemicals as the water will lather using smaller quantities. Softened water will eliminate the build-up of limescale in your pipes and on heating elements found in dishwashers and washing machines, leading to fewer expensive engineer call-outs and spare parts.
Once you have had a water softener installed, you will never want to be without one!
Why not find the right water softener for your family?
The Health benefits of a Water Softener
