Product Overview & Area of Application
The AQMOS R2D2-48 Black Edition water softening system is a compact softening system for domestic water and, according to the manufacturer, is suitable for households with 2 to 5 people. It reduces water hardness through ion exchange and thus helps to reduce limescale deposits on fittings, pipes, and water-bearing household appliances.
Within the R2D2 series, the R2D2-48 model is the medium system size and offers a softening capacity of 4,800 liters at 10 °dH. The Black Edition is listed here as a variant with connection set and mounting block and is therefore designed for structured integration into the household water installation.
Technology & Equipment
The system operates with a volume-controlled BNT 1650 control valve. The valve is microprocessor-controlled and triggers regeneration depending on water consumption, allowing salt and water consumption to be managed as needed.
In the compact cabinet housing, the softener resin and salt tank are contained in a closed unit. The system has 20 liters of resin content, a salt tank with a 40 kg capacity, and is designed for an operating pressure of 2.0 to 6.0 bar.
Everyday Benefits
Softer water can reduce the cleaning effort at typical limescale spots in everyday life and relieve water-bearing appliances. Especially in households with regular use of shower, kitchen, washing machine, and dishwasher, a central softening system ensures uniform water treatment throughout the house.
Regeneration runs automatically via the control valve. Ongoing operation is essentially limited to refilling suitable regeneration salt and regularly checking the system.
System Integration & Compatibility
The R2D2-48 Black Edition is integrated into the cold water line after the water meter, water filter, and, if applicable, pressure reducer. For operation, a frost-free and dry installation location, a 230 V power connection in the immediate vicinity, and a drain connection for the regeneration water are required.
The included mounting block supports the separation of the system from the household water network, the bypass function, and the adjustment of the residual water hardness. The water connections are designed as 1-inch female threads.

Installation
Installation is carried out in the main water line after the water meter, water filter, and, if applicable, pressure reducer. A protective filter should be installed upstream of the system to prevent contamination and damage to the water softener.
For installation, observe the flow direction on the mounting block, the proper connection of the control head, and the separate routing of the wastewater and overflow hoses. Work on the drinking water installation should be performed by qualified personnel.
Notes
The system is intended for operation in the drinking water sector to reduce water hardness. The installation location must be frost-free, dry, and protected from moisture.
For operation, use regeneration salt according to DIN 19604 or DIN EN 973 Type A. After commissioning, the residual water hardness should be checked and adjusted appropriately via the blending setting.
