NOBANA COMPLETE S3 Water Softener System 1600L/H

The NOBANA S3 is a 1600 L/h automatic ion-exchange water softener — the proper fix for the limescale that destroys boilers, washing machines, taps and shower heads in Malta and Gozo. Mains water on the island regularly tests at 25-35 gpg hardness, far above the 7 gpg where limescale starts forming. The S3 strips out calcium and magnesium and replaces them with sodium, leaving every tap with soft, scale-free water.

Key specs

• Flow rate: 1600 L/h — sized for a 3-4 bathroom house
• Removes hardness up to 35 gpg (600 ppm) — easily handles Maltese mains
• 25 L resin tank, 50 kg salt tank
• Automatic metered regeneration — only regenerates after a measured volume of water has passed, no wasted salt or water
• 1-inch inlet/outlet for full-house flow
• NSF/ANSI 44 certified
• 2-year warranty

Maintenance — top up salt every 4-8 weeks (we sell 25 kg salt sacks), annual resin cleaning recommended. The unit handles the rest itself.

Why we sell it — installing a softener is the single biggest extension you can give to every other appliance in the house. Boilers last twice as long, washing machine elements stop coating, kettles never need descaling, and showerheads stop clogging. We size and install S3 softeners across the islands and offer a full-service annual maintenance call.
