The Ecomix 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.
This compact version uses a 9" x 48" mineral tank, one bag of Ecomix media, and a 2.2 GPM DLFC.

Influent Water Limits
This system should only be used where raw water is within Ecomix’s published operating 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
Water chemistry should always be reviewed before sizing or recommending an Ecomix system.
Suggested Installation Notes
- Input the raw water hardness into the control valve settings
- Regenerate the system after installation
- Recommended feed pressure is 40–60 psi
- Drain line should not exceed 8 ft
- A sediment pre-filter is recommended; for high turbidity or iron above 10 ppm
