Ecomix Whole House Water Softener & Iron Filter System 2.5

The Ecomix 2.5 whole house system is designed for problem water where more than just hardness needs to be addressed. Ecomix is a 5-component composite media that combines inert resin, FerroSorb, HumiSorb, cation exchange resin, and quartz sand to treat multiple water issues in one system. It is designed to reduce hardness, ferrous/ferric/organic/colloidal iron, manganese, tannins, and ammonium, making it a practical option for many private well applications. Unlike a standard softener media, Ecomix self-classifies into a 5-layer bed during regeneration and is regenerated like a regular softener using backwash, brine, rinse, and fill. The manufacturer notes that Ecomix performs best when raw water is fed directly to the unit and advises not using oxidative pre-treatment ahead of the system. For this 13 x 54 vessel size, Ecomix specifies 2.5 bags of media, an approximate 28,500 grain system capacity, 10 GPM service flow, 13.7 lbs of salt per regeneration, and a 4.9 GPM backwash flow rate. This larger system size is ideal for larger households, higher water usage, or moderate-to-heavy contamination levels, offering a compact alternative to installing multiple separate treatment systems. Key Features All-in-one solution for hardness, iron, manganese, tannins, and ammonium 13" x 54" mineral tank – ideal for higher flow applications Uses 2.5 bags of Ecomix media Approximate 10.0 GPM service flow Approximate 28,500 grain capacity Regenerates like a standard softener Reduces need for multiple treatment systems Compact footprint compared to multi-stage setups Influent Water Limits Use within the following raw water limits: Hardness: up to 45 gpg Iron: up to 15 ppm Manganese: up to 3 ppm Tannins: up to 5 ppm Ammonium: up to 4 ppm Installation Notes This system should only be used where raw water is within Ecomix’s published operating limits: Feed raw water directly to the system (no pre-oxidation recommended) Input hardness into valve settings Regenerate system after installation Recommended pressure: 40–60 psi Drain line should not exceed 8 ft Pre-sediment filtration recommended for turbidity or high iron (>10 ppm)
