Ion exchange resin, ECOMIX C, removal of hardness, iron, manganese and organic matter

The Ecomix C resin is a filter media made up of 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. The Ecomix C filter media is designed to treat water with moderate concentrations of iron, manganese, ammonium and a high organic content. Ecomix C can soften water up to 40 German degrees.

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

How does Ecomix C resin work?

Raw water passes through all 5 layers of Ecomix C resin and will absorb, in turn, calcium and magnesium ions, iron, manganese, ammonium and organic matter from the water. During water 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 the formation of limescale deposits on the heating surfaces of boilers, heaters and heat exchangers.

Each layer of filter media in this resin will absorb the respective elements. As water passes through the resin, the number of sodium ions capable of performing the exchange decreases, while 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 will restore the exchange capacity of the resin for another service cycle. Resin regeneration is performed automatically by the filtration system valve.

What are the regeneration steps?

• The first step is to backwash the filter media, thus eliminating iron, manganese and ammonium compounds from between the layers.
• Brine (salt water) is automatically introduced into the filter media, washing away hardness salts and organic matter.
• The filter media is backwashed again to remove excess brine.
• To re-settle the layers of the 5 resins, a strong jet of water enters the tank.
• Water is added to the salt reservoir for use in the next regeneration cycle.

Major advantages of Ecomix C 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 high ammonium and organic matter concentrations
• takes up little space and solves 5 water problems in a single unit

Filtration performance of the 5 resins:

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

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

ECOMIX resin variants:

• ECOMIX P: Mix of 4 resins suitable for tap or well water with stable composition.
• ECOMIX A: Mix of 5 resins suitable for tap or well water with moderate variable composition and moderate concentrations of organic matter.
• ECOMIX C: Mix of 5 resins suitable for tap or well water with high variable composition and high concentrations of organic matter.
