Water Softeners

TIME ∙ VOLUME ∙ QUALITY CONTROLLED

By reducing undesired substances such as magnesium and calcium, i.e. scale, NEPTEC's water softeners reliably take the hardness out of the water.

The hardness ions, calcium and magnesium, are exchanged for sodium ions, making the water "soft". Once the resin bed is filled with hardness ions, regeneration or cleaning must occur. Salt is typically used in the regeneration process to regenerate the resin beads. After the cleaning takes place, the water softening process can continue. Intelligent control units regulates the amount and time of the water treatment and ensures the consistent at all times. 

In fact, a water softener is the perfect first purification step of a complete water treatment as it will protect the reverse osmosis membrane and all following filters and technologies and make them last significantly longer.

Even for challenging feedwater, where normal softeners reach their limits, we have a perfect solution with a combination of multiple stages, from porous polymeric adsorbers to ion exchangers.

Available in many sizes and as a single (cabinet) or double water softener with 
3 different control concepts.

  • Time controlled

    A timer controlled softener is designed to regenerate the resin bed after a preset amount of time has elapsed

  • Volume controlled

    A volume meter controlled softener regenerates when a specified amount of water (this can vary greatly depending on your softener's capacity water and water hardness) has passed through the system

  • Quality controlled

    Instead of the time or quantity control, quality controlled softener uses sensor technology that is able to directly detect the soft water capacity. By measuring the water hardness as a defined limit value, the sensor technology precisely detects when the capacity of the softening plant is exhausted. All factors that influence the capacity of the system are recorded. In this way, water hardness, salt quantity for regeneration, system size, ageing of the ion exchangers, fluctuations in water hardness or salt supply are registered by the sensor control. A defect in the system is also detected by the measured water hardness and recorded directly. Quality control with sensor technology results in the best achievable efficiency  and thus the lowest salt and water consumption.

UV Systems for Various Applications

RELIABLE ∙ COMPACT ∙ ENERGY-EFFICIENT

In addition to the disinfection effect, the application of UV technology in the ultrapure water sector focuses primarily on TOC reduction in order to further lower the TOC concentration achieved in pre-treatment to the values required for ultrapure water. UV oxidation exploits the effect that UV radiation generates hydroxyl radicals from water, especially at a wavelength of 185nm. These radicals oxidise the organic components to CO2 and H2O. In the reactors, special UV lamps are used which, in addition to the wavelength of 254nm relevant for disinfection, also emit UV radiation at 185 nm, which is used for TOC degradation.

Exposing water to 185nm wavelength UV light followed by ion exchange is by far the most effective way of removing the last traces of organic contamination from water. UV light at about 254nm is also a very effective bactericide. 

No chemicals are required. Additionally there are no toxic chemical or carcinogenic by-products left behind when UV disinfection is used. Germicidal lamps are equally effective against bacteria, moulds, spores, bacteria and viruses. UV disinfection inactivates pathogens which have developed a resistance to chlorine and other chemicals, such as cryptosporidium.

  • UV disinfection - 254nm

    Our simple UV flow-through disinfection systems use UV light at 254nm which has a strong bactericidal action as it damages DNA and RNA polymerase at low doses preventing replication; higher doses are biocidal. The systems are maintenance-free except for the lamp replacement and the water only contacts the quartz sleeve surrounding the lamp which is minimising contamination.

  • UV disinfection with TOC reduction - 185/254nm

    Our dual-wavelength UV disinfection systems use also UV light at 185nm which has a strong oxidising action breaking down large organic molecules into carbon dioxide. These components can be removed downstream by our high purity ion exchangers.  The systems are also maintenance-free except for the lamp replacement and the water only contacts the quartz sleeve surrounding the lamp which is minimising contamination.

  • UV immersion tube system

    UV immersion systems were specially developed for the chemical-free disinfection of water in storage tanks using UV radiation. The systems can be used in closed tanks with static and strongly fluctuating filling levels. 


    The UV system irradiates the water and the tank walls above and below the water level with UV-C radiation, so that no biofilm can develop and the water is permanently disinfected. This not only optimally disinfects the water, but also prevents rapid renewed contamination of the water from causing problems; these devices are therefore a real in-situ solution.


    It disinfects the entire interior of the tank (liquid, gas space and tank wall surfaces) and also forms an effective barrier against contamination via the tank ventilation.


    In this way, a chemical-free solution ensures better efficiency than chemicals, because no resistance to UV radiation can develop without the side effects of the disinfectant having to be accepted.

Filter Housings and Cartridges

SIMPLE ∙ AFFORDABLE ∙ VERSATILE

Nominal and absolute filters in different lengths, diameters and pore sizes as well as suitable filter housings in PP, PVDF or stainless steel with or without indicator pressure gauge and degassing.

  • Sediment Filter

    Sediment filters are commonly nominal filters in 5", 10" or 20" from 10 to 1µm which remove visible particulate matter, and any particles of dirt, sand, dust, and debris that can be caught by its micron-rated capacity. Sediment filters also remove turbidity from water. Turbidity is the cloudiness caused in water by the heavy presence of suspended solids. This causes water to turn yellow, orange, or brown.

    Sediment filters are most effective when serving as prefilters for other filtration systems. This is why sediment filtration very often works in conjunction with other filtration methods, like reverse osmosis.

  • Combi Filter with Activated Carbon

    Activated carbon is used because of its reducing effect against organic, inorganic and harmful substances. It reduces flavours and odours as well as chlorine, pesticides (Lindan, DDT) and trihalomethanes (THMs). The fabrics are adsorbed from the large surface area of the activated carbon. The combination with a sediment filter is the perfect choice to protect downstream reverse osmosis membranes.

  • Hardness Stabilizer

    Lime can clog and even totally block RO membranes. The level of water hardness depends on the calcium and magnesium ions dissolved in the water. Crystallization leads to build-ups of sediment. To avoid this, long-chain polyphosphates prevent the nucleation and crystallization processes that lead to deposits. This method makes it possible to completely stabilize the carbonate hardness of drinking water if the water hardness is lower than 10°dH so that no water softener is needed.

  • Sterile Filter

    Sterile filters are used to remove particulate and microbial contamination from water. Filtering through a 0.2 micron pore size is considered necessary to generate a sterile filtrate.  

    All sterile filters are designed, developed and manufactured in accordance with a Quality Management System approved by an accredited registering body. 

  • Ultrafilter

    Ultrafiltration is one membrane filtration process that serves as a barrier to separate harmful bacteria, viruses, and other contaminants from clean water by means of a 0.05 micron membrane. Suspended particles that are too large to pass through the membrane stick to the outer membrane surface. Only fresh water and dissolved minerals pass through.
