It treats limescale. It is not a health device. · review
The only softener in this catalogue that publishes a capacity WITH the water hardness it applies at — 4 800 litres per cycle at 10 °dH.
The bottom line The softener you can size against your own water report, and the only one here whose headline figure means something. Its skin and hair claims stay the maker's.
A metered water softening system stated for households of up to five people, treating up to 4 800 litres per regeneration cycle at 10 °dH, with a BNT 1650 electronic valve and integrated water meter, automatic regeneration at 02:00 lasting about 30 minutes, and a complete 1 in connection set with a mounting block.
“Up to 4 800 litres per regeneration cycle at 10 °dH.”
That last clause is the whole point. A softener’s capacity is used up by hardness, not by volume: the same resin that handles 4 800 litres of 10 °dH water handles roughly half as much at 20 °dH.
Find your water hardness on your water company’s website, and this figure tells you how often the unit will regenerate. No other softener in this catalogue lets you do that arithmetic.
The valve counts what has actually passed through and regenerates when the resin is spent. A timer-controlled softener regenerates on schedule whether the house was empty or not — salt and water down the drain every week you were away.
1 in, with the mounting block. On a whole-house softener that is a real cost and a real delay when it is missing. Here it is in the box.
The maker states “noticeably softer skin and smoother hair”.
That is the manufacturer’s conclusion about what softened water does to people. This site does not restate it as a finding.
What is demonstrable, and what the 4 800 litres figure is actually about: less limescale on your fittings, in your kettle and inside your boiler.

Because a softener's capacity is consumed by hardness, not by volume. The same unit that treats 4 800 litres at 10 °dH treats roughly half that at 20 °dH. A capacity published without its reference hardness is not a specification — and this is the only one in this catalogue that carries one.
A water meter in the valve counts what has actually passed through, and regeneration happens when the resin is genuinely exhausted. The alternative is a timer, which regenerates on a schedule whether you were at home or not — wasting salt and water every time.
