What is a salt water softener?
The Amfa8000 salt water softener is a system for a medium-sized or large home. This includes families of 1 to 6 people with one or two bathrooms. The salt water softener ensures that you get soft water because a softener ensures that the lime in the water and the existing limescale in pipes is broken down. With a salt water softener, your household appliances will last longer and you may save money on your energy bill. The Amfa8000® ensures that you are supplied with 100% lime-free water all day long.
How does a salt water softener work?
A salt water softener based on ion exchange always needs salt. This is necessary because the salt water softener has resin granules that exchange calcium and magnesium for sodium in the water. These resin granules are able to bind lime, making the water soft. The resin granules must be cleaned occasionally with a saltwater mixture (brine), because the resin granules become saturated and are no longer able to bind lime. This is done by rinsing with salt water. The mixture and the calcium then disappear from your home through your drain. The salt water softener process is automatic, no electricity is required. The softening salt itself does not remove limescale from the tap water. This is done by the cylinder of the water softener. So you only need to add salt blocks or salt tablets to the Amfa8000® once a week.
Why a salt water softener?
Anywhere you use water, limescale can form. This can be in the washing machine, sink, dishwasher and shower. You can discover limescale on a heating element. The clack ensures that your used appliances last less long and use more energy, the taste of your coffee or tea deteriorates and the limescale can be seen between the tiles in your bathroom. Lime deposits in the shower gives a less fresh appearance and a musty smell. The Amfa8000® saves you a lot of time and money.

Frequently asked questions about the Amfa8000®
What is the difference between a salt water softener and a water softener magnet?
A water softener magnet is a device that is placed on the pipe, which prevents limescale removal. The biggest difference between a salt water softener and a water softener magnet is that a water softener magnet does not contain salt and a salt softener does. A water softener magnet uses a technique to create a strong magnetic field in compact houses. In addition, a water softener magnet makes your water 95% limescale-free and the Amfa8000® 100%.
Is softening salt bad for the environment?
Softening salt is not harmful to the environment. And using a salt water softener such as the Amfa8000® is even good for the environment. This is because a water softener reduces the use of detergents, cleaning agents and body care products and reduces the use of chemical descalers to 0! The Amfa8000® also does not consume electricity, but the salt water softener works on the kinetic energy of moving water. In addition, the softening salt can lead to a higher efficiency of heating elements such as boilers, Qookers, kettles, etc. We use natural salt, so it is not harmful to the environment.
How much softening salt is needed?
The Amfa8000® is suitable for salt blocks and salt tablets. You can store 2 x 4 kg salt blocks or 7 kg salt tablets in the reservoir of the salt water softener. You can easily refill the salt supply of the salt water softener yourself.
