Puretec Softrol Water Softeners
Do you want to extend the life of your household appliances, remove scale deposit build up around your home and save money by improving your energy efficiency? Puretec Water softeners can do all of this and more.
What is Hard Water?
Hard water is an issue which affects Whanganui region’s water supply. It is caused by the calcium and magnesium found in the water where the soil contains limestone.
Appliances, hot water systems, and tapware often get scale build-up caused by the hard water. This scale build-up reduces their efficiency and their life span. Excess scale can cause an increase in energy bills as more energy is required to heat the water.
Why install a Puretec Water Softener?
Installing a water softener will reduce the hardness of the water as the water softener replaces the calcium and magnesium with sodium. This makes the water softer and reduces the accumulation of scale on your plumbing fixtures, hot water systems and appliances.
Installing a Puretec Softrol Water Softener will have great results for your home and your wallet:
- Appliances such as hot water units, washing machines, dishwashers, and jugs last up to 40% longer
- Use less detergents with washing and doing dishes
- Makes cleaning bathrooms easier as there are less scale deposits
- Glassware is now clear and shiny with no scale, smears or spots
- Clothes, towels and linens are softer, look whiter and brighter and use up to 50% less detergent when washed
- Your car will have a spot-free finish after being cleaned
- Drinking water tastes better
- Your tapware will have less scale build up
Want to improve the energy efficiency of your home?
Installing a Puretec Softrol Water Softener will mean reductions in energy use and therefore savings:
- Water will heat up faster after being softened with a Puretec Softrol Water Softener
- Improved efficiencies mean you will save on power and gas consumption
- An estimated 22% reduction in consumption for electric hot water systems and 30% for gas hot water units.
How it Works
- Untreated water passes through the water softening resin.
- Resin softens water by reducing ions such as calcium and magnesium.
- Water enters your home, providing the benefits of soft water throughout the house.
- The system periodically uses a salt (brine) solution to cleanse and recharge the resin, whilst releasing the hardness and other impurities down the drain.

The SOL30-E1 is suitable for small to medium homes and the SOL40-E1 is suitable for medium to large homes.
