Hard water versus soft water — tap comparison

Hard water versus soft water — inside of a pipe

Ecosoft — Cabinet Softener

Ecosoft Core 150
Water Softener

Name: Ecosoft Core 150 Water Softener
Brand: Ecosoft
Price: 2000 EUR
Availability: InStock

An all-in-one cabinet softener that removes the calcium and magnesium behind limescale, protecting your boiler, pipes and every appliance that heats water. The resin and brine tank sit together in a single cabinet just 270 mm wide, narrow enough to tuck into a utility room or under a sink. The Ecosoft DV diamond valve regenerates on the water you have actually used rather than on a timer, so it draws less salt and less water than a timed softener, and needs no pre-filter in front of it. A built-in mixing valve lets us set the softness to suit your home rather than stripping the water completely.
Dimensions: 539 × 270 × 430 mm (H × W × D) · 19 kg dry · 3/4″ connections

Why a Softener

Protection for the Whole Home

Limescale

Stopped at Source

Calcium and magnesium are exchanged out before the water reaches your pipes, so scale never forms in your boiler, kettle, shower or washing machine — rather than being scrubbed off afterwards.

Efficiency

Regenerates On Demand

The smart valve measures how much water the household actually uses and regenerates only when needed, instead of running to a fixed timer. Less salt, less water, lower running costs.

Design

One Compact Cabinet

Resin tank and brine tank are built into a single cabinet just 450 mm wide, so it fits in a utility room or under a counter without a separate salt tank taking up floor space.

Everyday Benefit

Softer Water, Everywhere

Fitted at the mains, so every tap, shower and appliance gets softened water. Skin and hair feel less dry, laundry stays softer, and you need noticeably less soap and detergent.

Peace of Mind

Built-In Safeguards

Brine dry mode, a vacation setting, salt shortage alerts and service reminders are all built into the controller, so the unit tells you when it needs attention rather than failing quietly.

Installation

Fitted by Our Team

Installed by our own technicians and included in the price shown — anywhere in Ireland, with the same 2-year cover we give every system we fit.
