Softener Hardness Reduction Filter 10" Std

$91.30

The Softener Hardness Reduction Filter – 10" Standard (Std) is a water softening cartridge designed for standard 10" × 2.5" filter housings. It uses ion exchange resin to reduce water hardness by removing calcium and magnesium minerals, helping to minimise scale build-up in plumbing, hot water systems, and household appliances. It is ideal for residential point-of-entry or point-of-use water treatment where moderate hardness reduction is required.

    • Filter Type: Water softening cartridge

    • Media: Food-grade ion exchange resin

    • Size: 10" Standard (Std) (10" × 2.5")

    • Function: Hardness reduction (calcium and magnesium removal)

    • Temperature Range: 4°C to 45°C

    • Typical replacement interval: Every 3–6 months, depending on water hardness and water consumption.

    • Replace sooner if:

      • Scale begins to reappear on taps or appliances.

      • Soap no longer lathers easily.

      • Water hardness noticeably increases.

    • Unlike pleated sediment cartridges, the resin media is not washable and should be replaced once exhausted.

    Best Used With

    • A sediment pre-filter to remove dirt and debris before the softening cartridge, helping extend resin life.

    • A carbon filter after the softener cartridge for chlorine, taste, and odour reduction if using mains water.

    • As part of a multi-stage water filtration system for comprehensive water treatment.

    Not Suitable For

    • Sediment removal.

    • Chlorine, taste, or odour reduction.

    • Bacteria or virus removal.
