Water softener Klarwod CS FANTOM CARBON compact multifunction unit 1.7 m3/h (25 resin + 6 carbon + KDF)

The Klarwod CS FANTOM CARBON compact multifunction unit is a combined water treatment device that integrates ion-exchange resin, activated carbon and KDF media in a single housing. It is engineered to reduce water hardness while also lowering chlorine, organic compounds and certain metals, providing improved water softness and taste for point-of-entry or point-of-use applications. The unit is sized for small residential and light commercial installations with a rated flow of 1.7 m3/h and a layered media arrangement of resin, carbon and KDF to deliver sequential treatment in one compact assembly.

Advantages

The integrated design provides mechanical water softening via ion-exchange resin together with adsorption and catalytic reduction from activated carbon and KDF, which helps address multiple water quality issues without separate devices. Compact dimensions and a single control valve make installation and maintenance simpler in tight spaces. The staged media configuration extends the effective service life of the carbon by removing hardness and particulate load ahead of adsorption. Rated flow capacity supports typical household demands and small commercial points of use.

Suitable for

• Whole-house point-of-entry installations for small homes or apartments
• Point-of-use protection for kitchens, laundry and bathroom fixtures
• Small commercial premises such as offices, cafés or salons with moderate water demand
• Applications requiring simultaneous reduction of hardness, chlorine taste/odor and certain heavy metals

Key specifications

• Rated flow rate: 1.7 m3/h
• Multimedia composition: ion-exchange resin + activated carbon + KDF
• Compact single-tank configuration for combined treatment
• Layered media arrangement to provide sequential softening, adsorption and catalytic reduction
• Intended for residential and light commercial use

How to use

Install the unit at the main cold-water inlet for whole-house protection or directly at a dedicated point of use for targeted treatment. Connect according to local plumbing codes and follow the manufacturer’s instructions for inlet/outlet orientation and control valve setup. Backwash and regeneration cycles are required for the ion-exchange resin; program the control valve and regeneration frequency based on local water hardness, household consumption and the installer’s guidelines. Replace or service the activated carbon and KDF media according to measured performance and the maintenance intervals recommended by a qualified technician.

Usage recommendations

Perform water hardness tests and periodic water quality checks after installation to verify regeneration settings and media performance. Use a pre-filter to remove large particulates if feed water is turbid, and engage qualified plumbing personnel for installation, regeneration programming and media replacement to ensure safe and reliable operation.
