It is built around a 14 x 65 inch pressure tank with a CE 1 inch control valve, and a large 146 litre brine tank with grid, well, valve and overflow set. You choose the media on order: Ecolite Soft SAC resin or Ecomix A, C and P. The valve regenerates on a delayed, immediate or volume basis, and it can run in twin or duplex and control two external devices. ## Key features - Complete, ready-to-commission softener assembly - 14 × 65 inch pressure tank with CE 1 inch control valve - 146 L brine tank with grid, well, valve and overflow set - Delayed, immediate or volume-based regeneration - Twin or duplex operation, controls two external devices - Runs Ecolite Soft SAC resin or Ecomix A, C and P media ## Specifications | Item | Value | | --- | --- | | Model code | RF1465SO1 | | Pressure tank | 14 × 65" | | Control valve | CE 1" | | Regeneration | Delayed / immediate / volume-based | | Brine tank | 146 L, overflow-protected | | Media | Ecolite Soft SAC or Ecomix A/C/P (specify on order) | | Exchange capacity (resin) | Min. 1.9 eq/L | | Regenerant | 8 to 20% NaCl | | Power | 230 V, 30 W | | Valve languages | EN · DE · FR · UK | ## Who the Commercial Softener RF1465SO1 is for - Estates with hard water. - Hospitality and facilities sites that need consistent flow and reliable hardness reduction. - Light industrial sites. - Operators who want to choose between Ecolite Soft SAC resin and Ecomix media. - Sites that may later add a second unit for twin or duplex duty. ## Where it is used - Estates - Hospitality - Facilities - Light industrial ## How it works In general, a water softener swaps the calcium and magnesium that cause hard water for sodium, using a bed of ion exchange resin. When the resin is used up, the softener regenerates with salt brine and rinses the hardness away to drain. In the RF1465SO1, the CE 1 inch valve regenerates on a delayed, immediate or volume basis. The brine tank has a grid, well, valve and overflow set. A meter assembly, distributor sets, fittings and a power supply are part of the assembly, and the datasheet lists the valve menu languages as EN, DE, FR and UK. The Ecolite Soft SAC resin is a polystyrene DVB gel with sulfonic groups in sodium form, with a minimum exchange capacity of 1.9 eq/L, 16 to 50 mesh, a maximum temperature of 120 °C and a regenerant of 8 to 20% NaCl. The datasheet does not give a flow rate, so we size the unit to your demand at survey. ## How it compares The Regal range runs from under-sink cabinets to twin alternating vessels. The right one depends on how much soft water you need, and how fast. - [Regal 100](https://sovereignwater.co.uk/products/regal-100-water-softener): You have **limited space under the kitchen sink** and want a cabinet softener: **10 L of resin**, 1.0 to 1.2 m3/h. - [Regal 150](https://sovereignwater.co.uk/products/regal-150-water-softener): You want **a little more capacity under the sink**: **15 L of resin**, 1.3 to 1.5 m3/h and 3 m3 between regenerations. - [Regal 200](https://sovereignwater.co.uk/products/regal-200-water-softener): You want **the most capacity in the cabinet range**: **20 L of resin**, 1.6 to 1.8 m3/h and 5 m3 between regenerations. - [Regal 500](https://sovereignwater.co.uk/products/regal-500-water-softener): You need **a floor-standing softener with a separate brine tank** and up to **6.12 m3/h** of service flow, with the media you choose. - [Regal 750](https://sovereignwater.co.uk/products/regal-750-water-softener): You want **a ready-loaded commercial softener**: **75 L of resin**, 3.5 m3/h continuous and **15 m3** between regenerations. - Commercial Softener RF1465SO1: You want **a 14 × 65 inch tank** with a CE 1 inch valve and a large **146 L brine tank**, with your choice of resin or Ecomix. - [Regal Twin 3672](https://sovereignwater.co.uk/products/regal-twin-3672): You need **soft water that never stops**: two 36 × 72 inch vessels working in turn, with **18.2 m3/h** of service flow. ## Installation and servicing The RF1465SO1 is supplied as a complete assembly with the tank, valve, brine tank, meter assembly, distributor sets, fittings and power supply. You specify the media, Ecolite Soft SAC resin or Ecomix A, C and P, on order. The datasheet lists a 230 V supply at 30 W. It does not list the inlet pressure, connection sizes or weight, so we confirm these for your site at survey. Two external devices can be connected, and twin or duplex operation is available. The survey is chargeable and is credited back if you go ahead. ## Questions and answers ### How big is the tank?
