Najlepsze Zmiękczacz Wody Ranking 2023

★★★★☆ A very straightforward water softener; the hardest part on the install is the 1" (imperial) sized connections on the hoses. I've had it in situ for about 8 weeks now, and it has done 4 recharges. Still producing nice soft water, the kettle remains clear, the toilets are losing their scale, etc.Several stages of the recharge cycle are so noisy that it would wake the entire house if it ran late at night as per the default settings. I've changed it to noon to recharge; that was the only recommended recourse from the manufacturer.

★★★★★ Amazing! Went from a 10 year old Harvey twintec water softener (that died) to this and overjoyed. The harvey replacement was quoted at £1,300 and i dont think its anything like as good as this. Snake oil / smoke and mirrors from salesman, i fell for the sales patter last time, told the harvey uses less salt, less water. Well, did a bit more research this time and found yes, It does per regen, but this softener only needs to regen every 5 days and my harvey did every day, so is much more efficient. No loss of pressure. (the harvey lost pressure, and especially whilst regen which usually happened when one in the shower) Fitted mine in the garage, same spot the harvey was in. All i needed was a pair of 1" to 3/4" adaptors (sold by w2b, i got on amazon for £10). So chuffed with this.

★★★★★ Ero un po' scettico ad acquistare un addolcitore per corrispondenza.Se non fosse stato Prime, e non fosse costato meno di 400€, non avrei rischiato!Il pensiero principale mi andava ai danni da trasporto, che per un oggetto così voluminoso e pesante, vedevo molto probabili.Tuttavia hanno curato l'imballaggio in maniera speciale, con addirittura un cuscino gonfiabile inserito nel vano salamoia per salvaguardarlo dai movimenti della bombola delle resine.L'addolcitore arriva con una testa programmatrice che mi ricorda vecchi modelli americani (con la manopola servoassistita), più che le teste digitali cinesi dei modelli che si trovano in posti tipo Bricoman. Arriva con due trasformatori (tradizionali, non switching), perché uno ha spina italiana e uno ha spina UK.La valvola di bypass è incorporata (escono maschio 3/4") e la programmazione fatta é per lavaggio volumetrico ritardato. I tempi di lavaggio e controlavaggio sono nel manuale, e anche la tabella per calcolare il volume dopo il quale lavare, in base alla durezza che si ha e che si desidera raggiungere.

★★★★★ Use the rings for the valves. No video on YouTube but pretty intuitive to install. Saved tons of money considering other products are $3k plus to hire somebody.

★★★★★ This review is to help people who want to buy and install the AS800 themselves. You need to be able to plumb a bit to do this, if it’s your first plumbing experience you will need someone that can help and direct you. It’s not a good project for the first time DIY plumber.The fittings at the rear are 1", my pipes are 22mm so I needed to get some screw-on fittings to fit the 1" thread and with 22mm compression to fit my pipework, called a female coupler, Screwfix had what I needed. You can't solder these as the plastic will melt if you do. The rest of my plumbing was soldered before the final connection to the softener after doing a dry run fitting of all the parts to be soldered. You could use flexi pipe, but I have had these fail after a period of time and I prefer to use copper and solder which seldom fails. To make a water tight connection you need to use plenty of PTFE tape around the thread of the screw on fittings at the back of the softener, wrap it around the thread and build it up to a wedge shape lots of turns are required. When you screw on the female coupler fitting it should make the PTFE squash up to form a nice washer between the plastic fitting on the AS800 and the female coupler, aim for about 2 to 3 mm wedge once done up fairly tight.I used standard hose pipe to connect the drain and overflow separately. You should add pipe clips to ensure these do not become detached. Check the distance that you need to run these pipes over as longer runs may need larger diameter pipe than standard hose pipe.When you have got the pipes in place you will want to test the connections are good, I would not put salt in yet as if you need to move it, it will be very heavy with salt in it. Once you are happy with the connections in bypass mode 'two red taps at back of softener aligned across the pipes' this allows you to bypass the softener if something goes wrong, and still have water although hard water. Turning the taps so the red tops align along the pipes allows water to enter and leave the AS800 softener chamber. I again would only put a minimum amount of salt in the unit just in case there is a problem, if you need to remove it for any reason you would have to dig the salt out, no fun at all.The power for the AS800 is from a plug top unit that has a low voltage (12V) output, you will need a socket fairly close by as the lead is not very long from the power supply to the AS800. There is a flying socket on the AS800 that accepts the low voltage plug on the 12V plug top mains adaptor.There is a mixing valve on the AS800 to the left and below the main head of the control assembly this needs to be gently turned anti -clockwise to its full travel to get soft water.Get the latest setup data for the softener from the web site of water2buy as the setup in the supplied manual is out of date, also don't do the load default in the setup menu as these are out of date also. You can get your water hardness from your local water authority web site. You will need that for an accurate setup.If you want to run a manual generation of the unit and you may want to do this to check you drain line connection is good. There are two things you need to do, first is set in the menu of the unit the Meter to 'Immediate' the second is set the REG.Cap to 00.01 this will trigger a manual regeneration. You won't find this in the manual! It’s very important you get the rest of the settings correct in the menu first. I found the setting on their web site to be very different from what the unit was set to, so do this once you have the unit powered up. If you do this don’t forget to set the REG.Cap back to your correct setting for your water and usage.PerformanceThe unit is producing great softened water for me and I am very happy that it works so well. I managed to get two 25kg bags of salt into the unit making it excellent for those, like me, who don't want to be adding salt frequently.I have to say that the menu system takes some getting use-to and may confuse at first, however once you have gone through the menu a couple of times it becomes clear. Mostly you won’t need to do this unless the power is off for long enough for it to forget the settings you have made. It may be worth making a note of your settings and leaving it nearby just in case.The dial on the front is in fact an indication of the position of the multi-way valve that directs the water according to what being done by the control software. Most all of the time this is in the SERV position and it only moves during regeneration. The motor that drives this is quiet, but the water flowing does make some noise when regenerating, how much noise will depend on your mains pressure at the time. The unit is quiet when softening water or idle so that is great. I have no flow issues and we are spread over 3 floors and have 3 bathrooms, utility and kitchen.I have not supplied softened water to my kitchen drinking tap, fridge water dispenser and garden tap for obvious reasons.There are some settings in the menu that remain unexplained, but it is useful to know that the Meter setting of both ‘Immediate’ and ‘Delayed’ refers to when the unit will regenerate once it has counted through enough water to require re-generation. Set to ‘delayed’ it will wait until the set time in the menu and if set to immediate it will start re-generating right away which may be inconvenient. When the unit is re-generating you can still get water passing through, but it is not being softened during re-generation process.The display shows the count-down to re-generation as you use water, this changes slowly over time as this unit has a very good capacity and re-generates infrequently depending on use.My only criticism of the unit is the display and user interface is not the best, however it works so I don’t have a problem with it.Overall I like the unit, it’s reasonably priced, does what I want to do and it does that well. I cannot comment on long term performance as I only had it working for a few weeks.

★★★★☆ I think the equipment does what it is supposed to do. The instructions were not very thorough or user friendly. If they were I would probably rate a 5 star. I was able to install it myself but there were leaks in the fittings. I had to take apart and really put on an extra amount of teflon tape to keep from leaking. I probably would not buy this unit again but it is great having soft water vs the hard we had.

★★★★★ The system was fitted under the sink with a help of removing the bottom shelf and the cover that is not required to operate i was able to squeeze water filter next to it. No need for pump as my system gets 2.5bar from mains. This is great value for money system and it really doesn't need any fancy app options just a regular checks once a month to see if you need to add salt. Takes standard salt that you can buy in many hardware/diy markets.

★★★★☆ Terrible instructions, instructions didn’t even cover this model, it’s an old model they no longer make! But once me and builder got it figured out it works great! I’ve never heard it flush through but I’ve tested water hardness and went from really sodding hard to soft! Amazing difference! Taps running faster, I put in a new bathroom at the same time and apart from watermarks there doesn’t seem to be scale marks on shower screen etc! Water tastes very different and did make ya feel a bit ill from having as bedside water so we now bring bottles up, and think it’s killed a few plants I watered with it!Used half a tank of salt (25kg bag) in about 6 weeks and easy to refill

★★★★☆ Bought 5 of these for some flats, great value for money if they prove reliable. I had to call their help line to get settings for the water hardness settings which was a bit strange. Normally the settings are in a table in the installation manual. Gave 4 stars as its early days.

★★★★★ This is a comparatively high-end water-softener which I purchased through Amazon in February 2013 for under £350. It has a 15-litre resin tank and a flow-rate capable of dealing with the needs of a directly connected household of up to 4 people at a hardness of 300 ppm (e.g. Megaflow and mains cold taps). I decided to fit it only to the feeds to the hot water cylinder and washing machine but leave the cold taps and loo cisterns on hard water. I am certain the flow rate would cope with both but there seemed no point in flushing the loo with softened water.My unit came with 3/4" BSP fittings but had two 3/4"-15mm couplings for use if you need them. (I chose to plumb my unit in with 22mm pipes, valves and connectors.) Installation and set-up is fairly simple. They offer an installation video. (but I hope I made a better job of it than they did...)The unit is very effective; reduced my water hardness from 300ppm to "SOFT" according to the B&Q hardness testing kit. Hopefully, over time, the scale in my hot tank, taps, shower mixer and pipework will gradually dissolve; at least the problems won't get any worse.Here are some tips:1)It is worth noting that the tables for hardness settings in the manual are based upon an average consumption of 100 litres per person per day. UK average is 150 litres (and we use more than that) - so adjust your Regeneration Capacity setting accordingly.2)The paper manual and the installation video disagree about the Backwash, Brine and Rinse times. Latest online manual says Rinse 5 minutes brine 20 minutes, rinse 5 minutes and refill 6 minutes. This seems to work OK and does not waste too much water.3)The first screen you see after holding down the "Menu" key for 5 seconds is the status screen. At the bottom of the screen is a counter that counts down in 10 litre decrements from your Regeneration Capacity setting until it hits zero; when it reaches zero it will execute a regeneration cycle at the next opportunity. When you set the Regeneration Capacity, it sets that value into the status screen regardless of what was there before - so you should make any changes on the morning after a regeneration cycle.4)Manual regeneration has to be done as per the website: [...]5)Take care when pulling the top off the unit. It is held on by four fragile-looking lugs.UPDATE 2.5 years on...The small turbine that activates the Hall-effect sensor has two small magnets pressed into each side. These tend to rust and the turbine sticks. If you find that the the unit is not producing soft water, check that the regeneration counter is going down. If not, you can do the following:1 dismantle the bypass valve assembly from the unit2 remove the pepper-pot end on the outlet3 with long-nosed pliers, pull out the turbine retaining ring (it is only pushed in)4 carefully file the rust off the magnets and leave the turbine to dry overnight5 apply a thin coat of nail varnish to the magnets and6 reassemble in reverse order.

★★★★★ I was tempted by the bigger 800 version, but this 500 model fits under the worktop.Bear in mind one of the waste pipes comes out the side.Our unit came with a black lid rather than the green shown in the photos, and one of the plastic lid lugs was broken, but neither is an issue.Water2Buy kindly provided 2 x 15mm adapters to suit our pipes. Water2Buy were very quick to respond to emails and sent out the parts quickly too.We also had to buy 2x 2m waste pipes, but it's a standard size plastic hose, so it's easy to source.We needed a plumber to rearrange our pipework slightly, but otherwise we could have fitted this unit ourselves.The softener was very simple to fit, with x2 holes needed through the wall for the waste pipes.Immediately our water hardness came down from over 400 to between 0-25 (difficult to be exact on our test strips). The setting are adjustable, but I'll see how it goes for a few weeks.Our water now has a softer feel and soap lather lasts far longer.We installed a much more expensive (x4) softener in our last house, so I wasn't sure how this much cheaper make/model would stack up. So far it's absolutely fine and I'd certainly recommend it. If we have any problems I'll update this review.

★★★★☆ I ordered an AS500. This is basically a competent water softener at a very good price - I paid £309.The reservations I have are about the instruction manual. This is fine for doing the pipework and connections to install the softener, however, less than helpful when it comes to setting it up. All the recommended settings are different from those on the video. The recommended setting for the regeneration capacity for our local water hardness was 2000L, however we found that the water goes hard after 1500L, so have changed the setting. The manual is also not clear what each part of the regeneration cycle does, and says that you can start a cycle manually, when this is not possible in the way described. I learnt quite a lot by watching the softener go through a complete cycle - about 40 minutes, and was then able to work out that my refill setting was slightly too long, as the machine was overflowing a little. The phone support person was helpful and pleasant, but I'm sure would be a lot less busy once they get the manual sorted out. Since sorting out these issues, we have had reliable soft water, and salt consumption seems to be minimal.

★★★★★ Update after 4.5 years. Absolutely no faults or issues whatsoever after 4.5 years. All I do is add salt and it's working as good today as when I bought it.Update after two years operation:I originally gave this unit 4 stars but have upped it to 5 stars. Why? Well, it has worked 100% since I installed it and has no faults. The plastic case, pipes, valves etc all look as good as the day I installed it. No leaks, no cracks no problems. I originally marked it down due to a few minor things, one of which was a few problems with the manual but since reading my review W2B have updated the manual. I also marked it down due to the position of a waste pipe but in actual fact this has not presented any problems after 2 years of use.I have tested the effectiveness of the unit with water test strips and it works as it should.Just to be clear, I paid the Amazon price for this unit and have received no discounts or gifts for this review. I like it when technology works without any fuss and this is a good example. I just add salt and that's it. Well done W2B.Original Review:We live in an old house in a very hard water area and I wanted soft water to at least feed the boiler and the washing machine. I wasn't too worried about soft water to the toilets, hand basins, outside taps etc but due to the quirky pipe route into the house I had to compromise and leave the cold water to the bathrooms unsoftened. The only practical place to install was in the utility room at the rear of the house.I looked at several different water softeners and opted for water 2 buy based on size, price and amazon reviews. I haven't had much experience of plumbing and have no previous with water softeners and so this review can not compare to other devices. I decided to write a review because of the letter from water2buy requesting me to do so with the obvious bribe of a small packed of haribo sweets.The unit was delivered very quickly and was well packed. I didn't buy plumbing items and decided to work out what I need once it arrived and to buy from screwfix. I normally find that I buy several things that I don't need and omit many that I do, and being able to get that all important widget on a Sunday morning is worth going local for. I did buy a water hardness testing kit (strips) to test the water at my house, this wasn't from water2buy.Anyway, I read the instructions (which were supplied in several languages) and reread several times. I tested the water supply for hardness and found it to be very very high. The strip went very dark brown within 2 seconds which is the top of the scale, this seems a bit too hard I thought and so I looked up the hardness on south west water web site. The showed the hardness at a much more sensible level, still hard but not Vinnie Jones hard. So, don't trust the testing kit. I imagine that south west water probably use more than a testing kit from Amazon and I would believe them over a home kit. Anyway, helpful for testing the water post softener, more later... BTW, the scale for hardness is PPM in the water2buy (W2B) brochure and the south west water web site quotes several different units but none are PPM. However, searching on the internet showed PPM to be the same as CACO3. It would have been helpful if the manual had noted this and I expect W2B know this useful nugget.Once the unit arrived, I worked out the materials for the install which included copper push joints Ts, couplers, washing machine outlet, copper pipe, flexi hoses, clips, stop taps, garden hose, waste pipe and extra U bend, jubilee clips (requirement discovered later), washing machine drain hose x2, coffee. I also purchased a small pipe cutter, pipe bender and push joint decoupler tool (needed this!). I used my existing tools which included cordless drill, screwdrivers, wire wool, grips, SDS drill with big bit (to drill through a 14" brick and flint wall).Work started on 6 nations final weekend, a bad weekend to start and not much got done. However, a very exciting end to the 6 nations and much better than plumbing. The following weekend was better (from a plumbing perspective but still some time until the World Cup) and I got almost to completion but with all jobs like this I don't like to rush the end as once the main cold water pipes are cut there is no going back. It's good to aim the finish to be on a Saturday lunch time as there is still Saturday PM and Sunday to cope with leaks, missing bits, faults, trips to A&E etc.Anyway, back to the install...The pipe install generally went well. Quite a bit of bending of pipe which was fun, do watch examples on youtube... my first attempt had a puckered inside radius. And don't use the end of the copper pipe you buy, it will likely be slightly deformed and the push joints don't like it... mine was and they didn't, glad I bought the decoupler tool.Once all the plumbing was done (see the picture) I connected the softener to the water supply and the drain feed to the waste water and the overflow to a hose to the outside (copper pipe through the wall though). I needed the jubilee clips now and didn't have any and so I rummaged in the garage to find some. This made me think that it would have been helpful if W2B included a typical shopping list in the instructions.It also became evident that the waste water (wash) outlet fouls the lid of the softener and so the lid doesn't sit properly... come on W2B, its not rocket science is it! If you look at the close up picture you can just see the angle of the waste pipe. I also noticed at this point that I couldn't read the illuminated panel or the rotating dial due to the position next to the freezer (this always happens at this point doesn't it). Not the fault of the unit as I think it must be designed to fit lengthways under a sink and not sideways next to a freezer. I used my mobile phone camera at a angle to read the display while setting up... better than a mirror as its the right way around.The set up instructions were OKish... I must have slightly different firmware in mine compared to the instructions as some of the options were different. I don't seem to get the option to change the date but the instructions suggest that I should. Aside from this all went OK but I was a bit confused with the big dial thing, I couldn't read the legends ( I know... sited sideways and not lengthways) but turned it to see what would happen... sudden gushing of water... quickly turned it all the way around and read the manual again... seems like a manual wash control. Anyway, reset back to start all all seemed OK.The pictures in the manual weren't great, it would help to have photos and more of them. The manual provided instructions to assemble certain parts which were already assembled on my unit., Not sure why but a bit confusing.I ran the water for a while and then got out another strip tester and would you believe it the water was now soft rather than Vinnie Jones hard. Job done.Its been working away for 4 days now and all seems OK. I don't know how much salt it uses but as its a metered unit and only feeds hot water and washing machine I would hope it is not too bad. The manual contains a table to correlate the settings to the hardness and the number of people in the house. There are 4 in our house but as the softener is only doing hot water and washing machine I decided to use 3 people on the table to correlate the settings.Overall I give it 4 starts. The negatives being the accuracy of the manual/instructions, poor pictures in the manual, the angle of the outlet meaning that the lid doesn't fit properly and the firmware being different to the manual. On the plus side the unit appears well made, the instructions were clearly written by someone who speaks english (not sure about the other languages), delivery speed and free haribos.Good luck!

★★★★★ A really good water softener at a good price. In my experience it produces good soft water. I've looked at softeners that cost 3 times the price and more, but my sense is that this one is perfectly good enough. Why would you pay more? I've been using it now for a couple of years. It was straightforward to install in terms of the connections and instructions. My install space was tight and that made it awkward with my original piping, but otherwise install can be DIY. Seems to work well. No problems with it so far. Would happily rtecommend it.

★★★★★ I'm very pleased indeed with my new Water2Buy W2B200 water softener as it's actually better than the much more expensive water softener it replaces. The fact it already has bypass valves fitted and doesn't need an overflow makes the plumbing easier and neater. Loading salt is now much easier than my previous block salt softener. Although not shown in the product photo the Water2Buy 22mm 'Easy Installation kit' I purchased came with 90 degree elbows already fitted. This was a great help because, as other reviewers have noted, the pipework at the back means the W2B200 does need almost the full depth of a standard 600mm deep kitchen cabinet. The supplied detailed instructions made it very easy to install and set up. I live in a very hard water area and my W2B200 is now providing me with perfect soft water. As the W2B200 also looks to be very sturdily constructed for a long life (it comes with a seven year guarantee) and is such excellent value for money I very highly recommended it to anyone needing their water softened.

★★★★★ ⚡COM’È FATTO? ⚡il prodotto si presenta completamente in plastica, colore blu.Ha un coperchio che "dovrebbe" chiudersi a clip in cui inserire il sale, nel mio caso però non funziona granchè la chiusura.⚡RESA? ⚡La resa va valutata sul lungo termine, ma consiglio di comprare un test del calcare in acqua per capire se sta facendo effetto.Nel mio caso è sbalorditivo, la differenza si nota molto e si può notare da:-L'acqua che resta nel lavello non schiarisce asciugandosi.- La doccia è più pulita dopo l'uso.- Lavando i denti, l'acqua ha un sapore totalmente diverso.Ciò che va però detto è che il manuale di istruzioni è solo inglese e polacco.L'addolcitore parte di base con un refresh del sale ogni 14 giorni, nel mio caso sono un pò pochi visto che ho un acqua mooolto calcarea e quindi dopo 6/7 giorni il calcare si ripropone, va quindi tarata la pulizia della resina in modo da velocizzare i refresh a meno di 14 giorni.RAPPORTO QUALITÀPREZZO? ✅Ottimo, altri addolcitori hanno costi 3/4 volte superiori alla medesima resa.CONSIGLIATO? ✅ ✅ ✅Assolutamente sì, nel mio caso lo vedo come un investimento a lungo termine, per le tubature e i miscelatori!

★★★☆☆ Wenn ich den Enthärter nicht schon auf Konsolen montiert und mit 4 sauber verlegten Schläuchen angeschlossen hätte, wäre er zurück gegangen. Grundsätzlich ist das Gerät ordentlich gebaut, was aber nichts nützt, da die Anleitung nur auf Englisch und Polnisch erhältlich ist. Deutsch gibt es nicht für Geld und gute Worte. Auch das Handbuch in Kombination mit der Kurzanleitung hat erhebliche Erklärungslücken. Die kryptischen Symbole auf dem Display helfen auch nicht weiter. Wie die Wasserhärte einzustellen ist und welche Bedeutung das b-01 im Display hat, bleibt ein Rätsel.....

★★★★★ Arrivata in tempi record il funziona bene qualità e prezzo ok

★★★★★ Hervorragendes Granulat. Erfüllt seinen Zweck. Es ist auch schön schwer, so dass Filter Systeme mit Schlauch nicht aufschwimmen (bei meiner Espressomaschine war dies oft problematisch, so dass bei anderen Granulatsorten - insbesondere mit Aktivkohle - die Maschine Luft gezogen hat).

★★★★★ Bis jetzt habe ich das Granulat in Ebay von einem einzigen Händler gekauft, der es anbietet, für mehr als den doppelten Preis. Jetzt habe ich mich hier für die nächsten Jahre eingedeckt

★★★★★ OK
