Water Softeners with Low Fouling Resin offers an excellent solution where both Iron and Manganese are below 1000 ug/l readings. The Mono-Spheric resin offers Calcium and Magnesium Scaling Elements to be removed as well as highly efficient at removing heavy metals such as Iron, Manganese, Lead etc without binding that would occur with standard resins. Can also be used as a 2nd Stage after a Pyrolox or Hydrox Backwashing filters where concentrations of Iron or Manganese exceed 1000 ug/l

Frequently asked questions

Standard softening resin can foul (clog and lose capacity) when exposed to dissolved iron and manganese, which are common in borehole and private supplies — low fouling resin is designed to resist this, keeping the softener performing reliably.

It reduces the impact of iron/manganese on the softening resin and provides some reduction, but for supplies with significant iron or manganese we'd recommend a water test first to confirm whether additional dedicated iron/manganese filtration is also needed.

Both use low fouling resin; the AUTO range uses an Autotrol Logix digital controller, while the LC range uses a Clack WS1CI-LF valve — the choice usually comes down to your household size and preferred control brand.

Yes, ideally — knowing your iron, manganese and hardness levels helps confirm whether low fouling resin alone is sufficient or whether pre-treatment is also needed. We can advise based on your test results.

Not typically for ongoing running costs — the main benefit is avoiding premature resin fouling and the reduced softening performance (or costly resin replacement) that can otherwise result from iron/manganese exposure.
