CWS Clack Water Softeners

Water hardness is a common problem in Ireland that most homeowners face. Hard water contains a high amount of dissolved calcium and magnesium which cause limescale buildup on water appliances such as electric kettles, washing machines, dishwashers, showers, and boilers.

Not only does limescale devalue your property by spoiling the overall look of your bathroom & kitchen, it also increases the energy bills and may even destroy the appliances.

Research has proven that hard water also leads to skin irritation, dry skin, hair fall, and dull hair.

At CWS we are committed to providing homeowners with the best quality water softeners. We supply, install and service a wide range of whole house water softening systems in various sizes to suit your individual needs. Working with your CWS water expert, you will be able to select a water softener system that will fit your exact requirements and budget.

What Do Our Customers Say

Frequently Asked Questions


How does a water softener work?

Water passes through the internal cylinder of the softener unit where high-quality resin beads collect the hard water salts.

The softened water is then passed back into the system for use around the house. After a period of time, the resin beads become full and must be regenerated, this is done automatically.

A brine solution is drawn up from the tank and passed over the resin beads in the cylinder during a backwash. This releases the hard water salts which are then flushed away leaving the resin ready to begin its collection again.

The regeneration process is fully automatic and takes place late at night when there is no soft water requirement.

Which water softener is right for me?

The size of a water softener for your home depends on the hardness levels in your area and the daily consumption of water.

The first step in finding the right system for you is to calculate your Daily Softening Requirement as it indicates the amount of hardness your softener will have to remove daily. The daily softening requirement is calculated using your water hardness and your water consumption.

Water Hardness:

It is the measure of the total amount of calcium and magnesium dissolved in water. Usually represented as mg/L (milligrams per litre), it is a critical metric to buy the right-sized equipment. Guessing this number could lead to an improperly sized system. If you are unsure of the water hardness in your area, it is better to get a water test done first.

Water Consumption:

Another factor to consider while calculating Daily Softening Requirement is the daily water consumption. One of the easiest ways to find it out is by checking your water meter and then use this information to figure out how much water you use in a day.

Daily Softening Requirement:

It is calculated by multiplying your daily water use by water hardness. Let’s take an example.

If the water hardness in your is 400 mg/L and daily water usage is 2000 litres, the Daily Softening Requirement works out to be 800000 mg per day.

In most cases, CWS Clack Cabinet Water Softeners are a popular choice as they can easily fit under a kitchen sink and are suitable for a family of 2-8 members. Our larger water softening systems can easily cope up with demanding households, due to their higher water softening capacity and greater efficiency.

What is involved in the water softener installation process?

Installation of the water softener is covered in our package. Our engineer would bring all the necessary equipment, tools, and accessories needed for installation.

The process itself should take anywhere between 2-3 hours including all the plumbing work. The engineer would then set the settings on the digital meter and complete the installation process.

Will it fit under my kitchen sink?

A CWS Clack Cabinet Water Softener usually fits under most kitchen sinks. The dimensions of our cabinet water softener are 640 x 220 x 440 mm (H x W x D).

If there is not enough space under your sink, a water softener can be installed outside your house with a protective cover.

Do water softeners require maintenance

Yes, they will require salt to be topped up, this can be done by yourself very easily. It is also recommended that water softeners be serviced on an annual basis to keep the equipment in prime condition.

How often do I need to add salt to my softening system?

It depends on how often your system needs to regenerate. The more your softener regenerates the more salt you will consume. Generally, you will add salt to your brine tank about every 6-8 weeks.

Can I drink softened water?

In short, yes you can. However, it is not recommended as softened water could contain a high amount of sodium which is not suitable for babies and people on low-sodium diets.

This is why we add a free drinking water filter to the package that removes all the excessive sodium present in the water.

Why are CWS water softeners better than others?

All softeners, regardless of price, should soften your water (reduce the hardness to acceptable levels).

The question is how long will the unit last? How often does it regenerate? What is the warranty? How long has the company been in business? Does the softener regenerate based on time rather than how much water has been used? How easy is it to change the settings and service the unit? How quickly can you get your questions answered and your problems solved?

CWS Clack Water Softener uses a high-quality Clack valve which is the best water softening valve in the Irish market.
