Product Information

Full details

The Wash Water Si160 is an ideal solution for households of 1 to 7 people living in areas with water hardness up to 300ppm, offering a sophisticated balance of traditional reliability and modern innovation. Its primary benefit is the combination of highly efficient salt usage through usage-pattern monitoring and advanced leak detection for home safety, though users should ensure their plumbing configuration supports the unit's 3/4" connection requirements before purchase.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Is the Si160 suitable for a 7-person household?

Yes, the system is designed to handle the water usage demands of households ranging from 1 to 7 people, provided the input hardness is 300ppm or less.

Does the leak detection require a power supply?

Yes, the Smart Stop3 technology requires power to monitor and actuate the shut-off valve; ensure the unit is connected to a stable electrical outlet.

What is the benefit of the ceramic disc valve?

Ceramic disc valves are highly resistant to sediment and scale build-up, resulting in a much longer lifespan compared to traditional rubber seals.

How often will I need to add salt?

Due to the AISmart Care technology, the system only regenerates based on actual usage, meaning it generally requires salt refills less frequently than standard softeners.

What does the 7-year guarantee cover?

The 7-year guarantee covers parts, with an additional 2-year labour guarantee provided for professional service support.

Troubleshooting

Water hardness remains high after installation

Verify the hardness setting matches your local supply and ensure the salt level in the reservoir is sufficient.

Leak detected alarm triggered

Inspect the unit and surrounding connections for moisture; if no leak is found, reset the Smart Stop3 system as per the user manual.

Low water pressure

Check that the EaSi-Fit bypass is in the correct 'service' position and inspect the inlet screen for sediment blockages.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Highly efficient resin regeneration reduces operating costs
  • Comprehensive three-layer leak protection for enhanced safety
  • High flow rate of 65lpm prevents pressure loss
  • Compact physical footprint suitable for tight utility spaces
  • Generous 7-year parts and 2-year labour guarantee

Cons

  • Requires specific 3/4" plumbing connections
  • Maximum efficiency limited to 300ppm hardness levels
  • Initial setup requires plumbing expertise for proper bypass configuration

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Installation of the Si160 should be performed by a qualified plumber to ensure the 3/4" connections are correctly integrated into your existing home water loop. The provided EaSi-Fit bypass valve is designed to make the integration process straightforward, allowing you to bypass the softener for irrigation or external water needs if required. For long-term care, ensure the salt level in the brine tank is checked periodically and maintained according to the manual. Because of the AISmart Care system, the frequency of salt refills will be lower than traditional, timer-based softeners. Always keep the area around the unit clear to allow for easy access to the control valve and internal components.
