Hard water is the silent destroyer of Oman’s home plumbing and appliances. Calcium and magnesium deposits build on showerheads, clog tap aerators, leave white scale marks on glass and tiles, and progressively reduce the life of water heaters, washing machines, and dishwashers. The cabinet-style residential water softener (10L resin) from UV Water Systems Muscat eliminates hardness from your entire home’s water supply through ion exchange — completely automatically.

Why This Matters for Oman Water Quality

Muscat tap water hardness typically ranges from 150–300 mg/L CaCO₃ — classified as hard to very hard. In properties drawing from private wells or in certain Muscat neighbourhoods, hardness can exceed 400 mg/L. The ion exchange process swaps calcium and magnesium ions for sodium ions using a sulphonated polystyrene resin bed — the resin regenerates automatically with common table salt (NaCl), requiring only periodic salt top-up by the homeowner. No electricity is used during normal water flow — only during the timed backwash and regeneration cycle.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is softened water safe to drink? Softened water is safe for most people but contains marginally elevated sodium. UV Water Systems recommends installing a dedicated non-softened drinking water outlet (RO point-of-use filter) for drinking and cooking — the softener serves bathrooms, laundry, and hot water systems. This is the standard configuration in Oman villas.

How often do I need to add salt? A 10-litre resin softener for a typical 4-person Oman household regenerates approximately 2–3 times per week, consuming 1 kg of salt per regeneration. A 25 kg bag of salt tablets typically lasts 4–6 weeks. UV Water Systems delivers salt tablets to Muscat addresses. Call +968 9763 7786.
