Menu Main [#about] How it works Calculator Contact us to order a trial sample IMPERIAL / Metric Ecomix ® removes: Hardness Ecomix softens water with hardness up to 45 gpg (750 ppm CaCO 3 ) Iron Ecomix reduces common types of iron: ferrous, organic, and colloidal. Influent iron concentration must not exceed 15 ppm. Manganese Ecomix is one of the most reliable means for manganese removal. Influent manganese concentration must not exceed 3 ppm. Tannins Ecomix is a proven technology to remove tannins and other natural organic compounds. Maximum allowed influent tannin concentration is 5 ppm. Ammonium Maximum allowed ammonium concentration is 4 ppm.

Inert resin reduces oxidized iron 2. FerroSorb unique reduces iron and manganese 3. HumiSorb unique reduces organic impurities 4. Cation exchange resin softens water 5. Quartz sand ensures uniform flow across the vessel 1. Get ready-to-use Ecomix media in the bag 2. Put the media in a regular softener 3. Regenerate the system, and Ecomix will self-classify in 5-layer bed 4. Use and regenerate Ecomix system like you would regular softener ECOMIX ® IN RESIDENTIAL ENVIRONMENT Traditional Ecomix Footprint 12 ft 2 4 ft 2 Saves up to 66 % of space Salt consumption 37 lbs 11 lbs Consumes 70 % less salt Water consumption 350 gal 130 gal Discharges 63 % less water Cost $3612 $1788 Is 50 % less expensive REMOVAL OF IRON AND MANGANESE REGENERATION OF ECOMIX ® FerroSorb is a proprietary sorption material for iron and manganese removal FerroSorb bead Ferrosorb ensures total iron and manganese removal Iron is removed in the following way: ADSORPTION — OXIDATION — ACTIVE LAYER FORMATION — AUTOCATALYTIC OXIDATION. Due to this process FerroSorb removes most common species of iron in raw water: ferrous, ferric, organic, and colloidal. Active layer of Ferrosorb contains active sites for manganese removal. Proven alternative to aeration and chlorination Ecomix shows best performance when raw water is fed directly to Ecomix unit. Do not use oxidative pre-treatment before the Ecomix system. Cross-section of FerroSorb bead Regenerated as a softener Ecomix is regenerated using the same sequence as a common softener: backwash, brine, rinse, fill. Calcium and magnesium ions are displaced from the cation exchange resin matrix with sodium ions. Humisorb is regenerated with chloride ions. Iron and manganese are purged by surface scour mechanism Iron and manganese are removed during backwash by surface scour mechanism in fluidized bed. removing tannins HumiSorb is a proprietary sorption material for removal of natural organic matter (reducing color and tannins) Organic compounds are removed by the mechanism of hydrophobic and electrostatic interactions Fresh HumiSorb beads HumiSorb beads after service ECOMIX ® technical specification Minimum bed depth Service flow rate 8–10 gpm/ft 2 Salt consumption 6.3 lbs/ft 3 Backwash flow rate 4–6 gpm/ft 2 View details: DOWNLOAD CATALOG COMMONLY USED VESSELS Size of vessel 1035 1054 1252 1354 1465 1665 2162 Ecomix ® volume, bags* 1 bag 1.5 bags 2 bags 2.5 bags 3 bags 4 bags 6 bags Service flow rate, gpm 5,7 5,7 8,0 10,0 11,0 14,5 24,3 System capacity, grains 11 500 17 000 23 000 28 500 34 500 46 000 69 000 Salt per regeneration, lbs. 5,5 8,4 11,0 13,7 16,5 22,0 33,0 Backwash flow rate, gpm 2,6 2,6 4,0 4,9 5,3 7,1 11,9 DLFC Injector Fill ECOMIX ® INSTALLATION SCHEMATIC Input water hardness in control valve settings Regenerate after installation Drain line should not exceed 8 ft Feed pressure 40–60 psi recommended Sediment pre-filter PP cartridge filter for clear water For water with high turbidity and iron content (over 10 ppm) application of filter with Filter-Ag media is recommended Produced since 1998 Distributed in 32 countries Where to buy 32 COUNTRIES For samples, prices and support please contact: In USA: Denise Urbans, denise.urbans@shedwater.com Office/Fax 610-358-2161 Cell 484-432-9924 In Canada: Andrew McDonald, armcdonaldsales@shaw.ca Office 604 541 8181 , Cell 604 230 1895 , Toll free 1 877 541 8181 15069 Buena Vista Avenue, White Rock, BC, Canada V4B 1Y1 Our business is water purification. Ecosoft is a private company founded by a family of engineers Mitchenko. Our story began in 1991 when we created a small laboratory to perform scientific research and engineer water treatment solutions for the power and food industry. Today we employ 250 people, 40 of which are water professionals. Ecosoft's mission is to secure highest quality of water wherever it is of importance: at the tap in a residence, in a cafe or hotel, a poultry plant or brewery, in the process cycle of a metallurgical plant or a power plant. In 1999 we became a partner and distributor of Dow Chemical’s products. In 2000 we set up production and distribution of the whole range of products — from household water filters to solutions for large industrial projects — chemical and metallurgical works and power plants. Our professional R&D laboratory developed one of our flagship products — Ecomix — softening and iron removing medium. Thousands of tons of Ecomix are sold in more than 32 countries. We develop and launch 5–7 products every year. Lean production and quality management system result in high performance and competitive prices. For our customers’ convenience we set up production facilities in Ukraine and Germany and sales offices in Kyiv, Dusseldorf, Minsk, Chisinau, France, Canada and USA. We invest in our partners — that’s why they love to work with us. Try our products and service and get your own experience!
