Product Overview & Area of Application
The Aqmos R2D2-32 BLACK EDITION water softening system with backwash filter, connection set and mounting block is a compact solution for reducing water hardness in the drinking water sector. It is particularly suitable for smaller households, apartments, terraced houses or holiday homes where hard tap water promotes limescale deposits on fittings, household appliances and water-carrying components.
The system is designed for households with 1 to 4 people and combines the softening system in a cabinet housing with matching installation accessories. Thanks to the Black Edition, the system blends more discreetly into utility rooms or household service rooms.
Technology & Equipment
The R2D2-32 operates with a volume-controlled BNT 1650 control valve and uses the ion exchange process to reduce calcium and magnesium ions in the water. Regeneration is demand-based and microprocessor-controlled, so that salt and water consumption are matched to actual needs.
The set also includes a backwash filter, a connection set and a mounting block. The backwash filter helps protect the installation from particles such as rust or sand, while the mounting block facilitates integration, shut-off, bypass function and residual hardness adjustment in the household water network.
Everyday Benefits
Softer water can reduce limescale residue on fittings, shower surfaces, household appliances and pipe areas. At the same time, operation remains straightforward, since ongoing operation essentially consists of checking and refilling regeneration salt.
Thanks to the volume-controlled operating mode, the system does not regenerate rigidly according to time, but depending on water consumption. This is particularly useful with fluctuating consumption, for example in small households or in properties used only occasionally.
System Integration & Compatibility
The system is connected to the cold water line and requires a frost-free, dry installation location, a power connection with 230 V in the immediate vicinity, and a drain connection for regeneration water. The water connections are designed with 1" female threads.
The mounting block enables blending of the residual water hardness and facilitates disconnecting the system from the house water network. For operation in the drinking water area, the actual raw water hardness must be checked and the system adjusted accordingly.

Installation
Installation is carried out in the installation line after the water meter and after an existing water filter and, if applicable, after a pressure reducer. The permissible water pressure is 2.0 to 6.0 bar. The installation location must be frost-free, dry, and level.
For commissioning, the local water hardness, the appropriate system capacity, and the desired residual hardness are set. Blending can be carried out via the mounting block and should subsequently be checked with a water hardness test kit.
Notes
The water softening system is intended for the drinking water sector to reduce water hardness. Only salt tablets made of high-purity vacuum salt according to DIN 19604 or DIN EN 973 Type A may be used for operation.
A residual hardness of 6 to 8 °dH is recommended to avoid fully softened water. Regular functional checks by the operator as well as annual maintenance by a specialist company are recommended.
