Patented Water Softeners: Put an End to Household Limescale

Buying Guide: Which BravoCAB is right for you?

Problem: Buying a water softener that's too small means it'll constantly regenerate (using too much salt). Buying one that's too large means wasting water on unnecessary washes.

Solution: Choose the model based on the number of people in the family and the water hardness (standard average 30-35°f):
🔹 BravoCAB 11 or 15 liters: Ideal for apartments / 2-3 people . Compact, it often fits under the boiler or in tight spaces.
🔹 BravoCAB 22 liters: Ideal for Standard Families / 4 People . The right compromise between capacity and size.
🔹 BravoCAB 30 litres: Ideal for Villas / 5-6+ People or for extremely hard water (>45°f).

Real Savings on Your Bill

A Brevetti water softener pays for itself in just a few years.
Just 1 mm of limescale on a boiler heat exchanger or washing machine heating element increases energy consumption by 10-15%. By eliminating limescale, your appliances will always operate at maximum efficiency and last twice as long.

Frequently Asked Questions about Water Softeners

1. Is softened water safe to drink? Can I drink it?

Yes, absolutely. Ion-exchange water softening does not make water undrinkable. It removes calcium and magnesium, replacing them with sodium. If the softener is properly calibrated (leaving a residual hardness of about 15°F, as required by law) and regular hygiene maintenance is performed, the water is safe, excellent for cooking, and doesn't taste salty.

2. How much salt do you consume?

Modern models like the BravoCAB are volumetric, meaning they calculate actual water consumption and regenerate the resins only when they're exhausted. For an average family of four, salt consumption is around 25 kg every 2-3 months, but this varies greatly depending on usage.

3. What is the automatic "Chlorine Producer"?

This is a hygiene safety system integrated (or optional) in Acqua Brevetti water softeners. During each resin regeneration, the system produces a tiny amount of chlorine through brine electrolysis. This serves to disinfect the resin bed, preventing bacterial growth.
