Description

Austin: the high-capacity home water softener

More resin · European production · bypass kit included

More resin, a sleek design, and European production: the Laurel model’s big brother has plenty to offer. It comes with a bypass kit that makes it easy to manage the hardness of the water it produces.

What does the included bypass do?

All OJA water softeners are equipped with a volumetric bypass that makes it easy to manage the flow between softened and untreated water.

Continuous water supply

If a problem occurs or during resin regeneration, the bypass lets water temporarily flow around the softener to keep supplying your home with water.

TH adjustment

Water that is too soft may be undesirable in some installations. Adjusting the bypass lets you maintain an average TH of 5 to 10 °f by reintroducing a small amount of untreated water.

What difference does more resin make?

Flow rate

Higher available flow rate

The greater the resin volume, the higher the flow rate the water softener can treat. Austin can therefore suit a large home and, depending on the version you choose, much greater water needs.

Capacity between regenerations

More water between regenerations

The resin must be regenerated regularly to remove the captured calcium and magnesium and replenish its sodium using the salt in the tank. A larger resin volume therefore allows longer intervals between regenerations.

Stability

More stable water hardness

When the programmed water volume for regeneration is reached, the softener generally waits until the scheduled time to start its cycle. Choosing a slightly larger system therefore provides a reserve and reduces the risk of getting hard water before regeneration.

Valve features

Regeneration control in 4 stages
4-digit LED display with visual icons
Dual ceramic disc system for service and regeneration
Automatic lock function
Top-mounted automatic valve
Metered and/or timed counter-current regeneration
Valve suitable for pre-filtration
Delayed, immediate, or enhanced regeneration
Programming by capacity and water hardness
Auxiliary input for remote regeneration start
Auxiliary output for controlling external equipment
Battery backup maintains the clock for up to 3 days
Bypass included

The complete Austin kit includes

Everything you need for installation and use

Affordable, reliable valve that is easy to maintain

The FLOTECK 1600 valve was selected for its value for money, metered operation, and reliability.

Metered operation using a turbine built into the bypass
Measures the amount of water treated
Minimal maintenance

Convenient salt access hatch

A lockable hatch makes it easy to refill the salt. Simply turn the valve head 90° to access the tank.

Bypass with graduated scale

The bypass lets you temporarily switch back to untreated water and mix a small amount of hard water with softened water to maintain an average TH of around 5 °f.

Straightforward installation

DIYers can install the water softener by simply connecting the water inlet and outlet with the supplied flexible hoses.

If you are unsure, you can also have our team or your plumber handle the installation.

Installation kit included

Bypass
Two flexible hoses and seals
Transformer
Drain connection tubing

Hardness test included

Check your water softener’s effectiveness yourself with the water hardness test included in the kit.

Specifications

Technical specifications of the Austin 22L and 30L water softeners

Comparison of the two capacities

Specifications	Austin 22L	Austin 30L
Resin volume	22 liters	30 liters
Exchange capacity	110 m³·°TH	150 m³·°TH
Nominal flow rate	2,200 L/h	3,000 L/h
Volume of water treated before regeneration at 30 °f*	Approximately 3,670 liters	Approximately 5,000 liters
Water consumption per regeneration	Approximately 82 liters	Approximately 110 liters
Salt consumption per regeneration	Approximately 2.1 kg	Approximately 2.9 kg
Regeneration time	Approximately 68 minutes	Approximately 72 minutes
Salt storage capacity	65 kg	65 kg
Dimensions (H × W × D)	114 × 32 × 50 cm	114 × 32 × 50 cm
Shipping weight	36 kg	42 kg
Power supply	110–220 V / 50–60 Hz	110–220 V / 50–60 Hz

* Volume between regenerations: this depends directly on water hardness. As a guide, with water at 30 °f, the Austin 22L can treat approximately 3,670 liters and the Austin 30L approximately 5,000 liters.

Approximate calculation: exchange capacity (m³·°TH) ÷ water hardness (°f). Example for the Austin 30L at 30 °f: 150 ÷ 30 = 5 m³, or approximately 5,000 liters.

Important: the nominal flow rate is 2,200 L/h for the Austin 22L and 3,000 L/h for the Austin 30L. The peak flow rate of approximately 5,900 L/h specified for the valve does not correspond to the water softener’s nominal treatment flow rate.

Calculate Your Needs

How do you choose the resin volume?

Size your water softener in 4 steps

1. Estimate your daily water needs

Simply take your bills for the year, add up the billed water volumes, and divide by the number of days you were at home.

Reference point: average water consumption in France is around 150 liters per day per person.

2. Determine the water volume between regenerations

For example, I live with my partner, so we use about 300 liters of water per day.

If my goal is to regenerate the resin in my Ideal every 7 days on average, that gives me 2,100 liters.

3. Measure your water hardness

Tests are available as strips or a liquid at any home improvement store.

4. Calculate your resin needs

Calculation formula

Resin volume = Water volume between regenerations × TH / 5,000
