Product Overview & Area of Application
The AQMOS R2D2-48 Black Edition water softening system is a compact softener in a cabinet-style housing for households typically used by 2 to 5 people. It reduces water hardness in the drinking water area, helping to reduce limescale deposits on fittings, pipes, household appliances, and water heaters.
As the mid-range model of the R2D2 series, the system is suitable for single-family homes, terraced houses, semi-detached houses, and households with moderate to increased water demand. The Black Edition is the dark version of the R2D2-48 and is offered as a standalone softener without connection accessories.
Technology & Equipment
The AQMOS R2D2-48 Black Edition operates with ion exchange resin. This reduces the calcium and magnesium ions responsible for limescale, so that the water is fed into the house installation with a lower hardness after the system.
The volume-controlled BNT 1650 control valve records the actual water consumption and controls regeneration automatically. The system is microprocessor-controlled and designed for demand-based salt and water consumption during regeneration.
Everyday Benefits
Softer water can reduce the cleaning effort on fittings, shower surfaces, and household appliances. At the same time, softening supports a lower-limescale operation of water-bearing appliances such as washing machines, dishwashers, or kettles.
Thanks to automatic regeneration, the system operates largely independently during normal operation. For the operator, the focus is primarily on regularly checking the salt supply and setting the water hardness appropriately.
System Integration & Compatibility
The R2D2-48 Black Edition is integrated into the cold water line of the household water installation. Installation typically takes place after the water meter, water filter, and, if applicable, pressure reducer, so that the system is protected from contamination and operated within the permissible pressure range.
For installation, a frost-free and dry location, a power connection in the immediate vicinity, and a drain connection for regeneration water are required. Connection kit, mounting block, backwash filter, and regeneration salt must be considered separately depending on the existing installation.

Installation
Installation is carried out in the household water supply system after the water meter, water filter, and, if applicable, pressure reducer. Connection should be performed by qualified personnel to ensure that flow direction, pressure range, tightness, wastewater routing, and electrical supply are correctly checked.
The wastewater and overflow hoses must be routed separately and with backflow protection to the sewer connection. The installation site must be dry, frost-free, level, and protected from moisture.
Notes
The system is intended exclusively for the drinking water sector and for reducing water hardness. For operation, regenerating salt tablets made of high-purity vacuum salt according to DIN 19604 or DIN EN 973 Type A must be used.
The residual hardness should be set during commissioning to match the local water quality. For drinking water installations, complete softening to 0 °dH is not recommended; the water hardness should be adjusted via blending.
