Automated operation is managed by the Ecosoft Clack DV electronic control valve, which utilizes diamond-coated ceramic-to-ceramic sealing discs that resist particulate wear and eliminate the strict requirement for an upstream sediment prefilter. The valve monitors water throughput with a built-in meter, initiating fully automated volumetric regeneration (backwash, brine draw, slow rinse, fast rinse, and refill) according to actual consumption patterns. The Core 150 features an integrated residual hardness mixing valve for setting custom water softness, an intelligent LCD display with day override logic, and non-volatile configuration memory. It comes pre-assembled with a 3/4" male BSPT connection kit, 12 V power adapter, and flexible drain/overflow tubing for quick, tool-free installation.
Functional Features:
Ultra-Compact Under-Sink Footprint: Space-efficient cabinet profile (539 x 270 x 430 mm) allows installation directly inside standard kitchen sink base cabinets or compact utility closets.
Diamond-Coated Ceramic Disc Valve: Ecosoft DV valve uses durable diamond-coated ceramic discs that resist abrasive wear and operate reliably on municipal tap water without a separate prefilter.
Volumetric Automated Regeneration: Digital control valve tracks water usage and initiates automated cleaning cycles based on real consumption to conserve salt and rinse water.
Built-in Residual Hardness Mixing Valve: Integrated adjustment screw allows precise blending of raw water to achieve tailored domestic water softness.
Low Wastewater and Salt Consumption: Requires only 1.8 kg of salt and 60 liters of water per regeneration cycle to restore full softening capacity.
User-Friendly Multi-Parameter Display: High-contrast backlit LCD screen displays remaining capacity, flow rate, and diagnostic status with customizable timeout settings.
Complete Installation Kit: Supplied with a 3/4" male BSPT piping connector assembly, EU 12 V power supply, 16 mm flexible drain/overflow hoses, and hose clamps.

Please note: The softener must be installed indoors on a level surface protected from freezing temperatures (minimum ambient temperature +5 deg C) and isolated from direct heat sources. Keep the salt compartment filled with tablet salt (purity > 99%) above the water line at all times, ideally maintaining the cabinet about two-thirds full. Check salt levels every 2 to 4 weeks and avoid letting the cabinet run completely dry. Route both the valve drain hose and the cabinet overflow line to a gravity sewer connection with a minimum 1-inch (25 mm) air gap to prevent wastewater back-siphonage. If the softener will remain idle for an extended period, engage the bypass valve and isolate the unit from mains water.
