Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

"The Full Plate Diner" in Norwich was struggling with their new combination oven. The steam function kept failing due to heavy limescale deposits from the local hard water, leading to inconsistent cooking results and frequent engineer call-outs.

"We were at our wits' end. The oven was our biggest investment, and it felt like it was constantly letting us down. Our service bills were piling up and it was a real headache. Installing the WSAUTO softener was the best decision we made."

Robert Davies – Head Chef

Since installing the softener, the diner has reported zero limescale-related faults in over eight months, saving an estimated £600 in repair bills and parts.

How Automatic Regeneration Protects Your Kitchen 24/7

Ever wondered what 'automatic regeneration' actually means? Think of the softener as a filter filled with special resin beads that act like magnets for limescale-causing minerals. As water flows through, these beads grab the minerals, so only soft water reaches your appliance. But, just like a sponge, these beads eventually get full. Automatic regeneration is the unit's built-in, self-cleaning cycle. At a pre-set time, usually overnight when you're closed, the softener flushes the captured minerals away down the drain using a salt-water (brine) solution. This 'recharges' the resin beads, getting them ready for the next day. It means you get uninterrupted protection without ever having to manually reset or clean the system.

Installation and Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

Always install on the cold water supply line *before* the appliance you want to protect.
Ensure both the inlet and outlet hoses are connected securely to prevent leaks.
We recommend a qualified plumber for installation to ensure it meets water regulations.
Run an initial manual regeneration cycle after installation to prepare the resin bed.

Keeping It Going

Check the salt level in the brine tank at least once a week.
Top up with good quality water softener salt tablets or pellets when levels are low.
Never let the unit run completely out of salt, as this will stop it from softening the water.
Wipe down the exterior of the unit with a damp cloth to keep it clean.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Water Softener

Feeling a bit lost in the world of water treatment? Here’s a quick guide to help you choose the right unit for your business.

Check Your Capacity Needs

Consider your daily water usage. A small coffee shop has very different needs to a large hotel kitchen. The 500-800 litre capacity of this unit is ideal for most small to medium-sized businesses.

Automatic vs. Manual

For a busy commercial site, an automatic regeneration system is a must. It removes human error and ensures your equipment is always protected, even during your busiest periods.

Measure Your Space

Water softeners need a home. Check the unit's dimensions and make sure you have a suitable, accessible spot for installation and for easily topping up the salt.

Understand Flow Rate

Ensure the softener won't restrict your water flow. This unit is designed for commercial use, so it can handle the pressure and flow rate required by professional machines.

Hot vs. Cold Feed

This is a commercial cold feed water softener. It treats the water before it enters your machine's heater, which is the most effective way to prevent limescale from forming.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What does a commercial water softener do?

A: It removes hard minerals like calcium and magnesium from your water supply. This stops limescale from building up inside your expensive equipment, like dishwashers and boilers.

Q: Is this difficult to install?

A: For a secure and regulation-compliant setup, we always recommend using a qualified plumber. It needs to be connected to the cold water mains and a drain.

Q: How often will I need to add salt?

A: This depends on your water hardness and usage, but we recommend checking the salt level weekly and topping up as needed. A full brine tank can last several weeks.

Q: What type of salt should I use?

A: It’s best to use high-purity salt designed for water softeners, which is available in tablet, block or granular form.

Q: What appliances is the WSAUTO model compatible with?

A: It's perfect for protecting equipment like the ECO, DUO, and Hydro series of warewashers, as well as coffee machines, water boilers, and combination ovens.

Q: Will this affect my water pressure?

A: When installed correctly, the unit is designed to handle commercial flow rates and should not have a noticeable impact on your water pressure.

Q: How does the 'automatic' part work?

A: The unit automatically runs a self-cleaning 'regeneration' cycle on a timer. This flushes out the collected minerals and recharges the system, ready for the next service period.

Q: Can I use this on a hot water supply?

A: No, this is a cold feed unit designed to operate with water up to a maximum of 40°C. It must be installed on the cold water line.
