Ion exchange resin, ECOMIX A, 12-liter bag, removal of hardness, iron, manganese, ammonium and moderate organic matter, ion exchange capacity of 35g CaCO3/liter

The Ecomix A resin is a filter media made from a mix of 5 ion exchange resins and natural and synthetic absorbent materials, specially designed to remove hardness, iron, manganese, ammonium and organic matter from water. Ecomix A filter media is designed to treat water with moderate concentrations of iron, manganese, ammonium and moderate organic content. Ecomix A can soften water up to 42 German degrees.

Ecomix A resin is used in cabinet-type or separate-tank water softening stations and is discharged directly into the fiberglass tank of the automatic filtration station. Initially, the resin is blended and the layers of the 5 resins cannot be distinguished. After the first regeneration of the automatic station, the resin mix settles into distinct layers due to the different densities of the 5 resin types. To regenerate Ecomix A resin, water softening salt tablets should be used.

How does Ecomix A resin work?
Raw water passes through all 5 layers of Ecomix A resin and gradually absorbs calcium and magnesium ions, iron, manganese, ammonium and organic matter from the water. During filtration through the cation exchange resin, Ca2+ and Mg2+ hardness ions are replaced by Na+ ions, thus reducing water hardness to a minimum. Replacing calcium and magnesium ions with sodium ions prevents limescale buildup on the heating surfaces of boilers, heaters and heat exchangers.

Each layer of filter media in this resin absorbs its respective elements. As water passes through the resin, the number of sodium ions available for exchange decreases and the number of ions retained on the resin increases, until the cation exchange resin reaches saturation. This is why the resin must be regenerated by passing a sodium chloride solution (brine) through the cation exchange layer, which restores the resin's exchange capacity for another use cycle. Resin regeneration is carried out automatically by the filtration station valve.

What are the regeneration steps?

1. The first step is to backwash the filter media, thereby removing iron, manganese and ammonium compounds from between the layers.
2. Brine (salt water) is automatically introduced into the filter media, flushing out hardness salts and organic matter.
3. The filter media is backwashed again to remove excess brine.
4. To resettle the layers of the 5 resins, a strong jet of water enters the tank.
5. Water is added to the salt reservoir for use in the next regeneration cycle.

Key advantages of Ecomix A resin:

• prevents limescale deposits on sanitary fixtures
• protects electric heating elements in boilers and water heaters
• reduces unpleasant color and odor of water
• removes iron and manganese from water
• reduces ammonium and organic matter concentrations
• takes up little space and solves 5 water problems in a single unit

Filtration performance of the 5 resins:

1. Inert material to improve resin backwashing
2. FerroSorb for the removal of iron and manganese
3. HumiSorb is an absorbent that removes organic matter and improves water color and odor
4. Ion exchange resin for the removal of limescale from water.
5. Quartz sand for mechanical filtration and ensuring a uniform water flow.

Ecomix A is a scientifically based technology, confirmed by 6 international patents, and has been in use since 1998. Ecomix A resin is suitable for both municipal water and well/borehole water.

The resin is packaged by the manufacturer in 12-liter bags. The displayed price is for one complete bag. If you require smaller quantities, please select the bulk packaging option.
