Recommended Water Treatment Solutions
The UWS-FF2 smart whole house water softener is designed to help reduce hard water problems commonly found in Ontario homes, including scale buildup, dry skin and hair, spotting on dishes, and reduced appliance efficiency.
For cleaner and better-tasting drinking water at the kitchen tap, many homeowners pair this system with our URO-T09 reverse osmosis system to help reduce chlorine, sediment, heavy metals, PFAS, and unwanted odors from drinking water.
To improve water quality throughout the entire home without the hassle of filter replacement and also help protect the softener from sediment and larger particles, the UPF-S20 prefiltration system is an excellent solution for municipal water applications.
For homes with heavier sediment, higher water usage, or more demanding water conditions, many Ontario homeowners choose the UPF-S20L heavy duty prefiltration system for comprehensive whole house filtration and long-term system protection.
Ideal for Ontario homes dealing with hard municipal water, scale buildup, chlorine taste, and overall water quality concerns.
Key Feature Highlights
1. Best-in-Class Efficiency System
2. Smart Learning & Control Technology
The UWS-FF2 sets a new benchmark for efficiency in water softening, featuring an advanced up-flow proportional regeneration system and optimized flow distribution. It delivers best-in-class performance and exceptional long-term savings for every household.
This isn’t your average water softener. The UWS-FF2 features an intelligent system that learns your household’s water usage habits. By predicting your needs, the smart control automatically calculates the softening capacity and triggers regeneration as necessary. It optimizes performance and minimizes waste.
3. 30% More Efficiency Up-Flow System
Unlike most water softeners on the market that rely on traditional downflow systems, the UWS-FF2 features an innovative up-flow design; and boosts efficiency by 30%, delivering superior performance and cost savings compared to conventional softener systems.
4. Brine Distributor and Control System
The Ultrefina water softener's brine distributor ensures even brine distribution during regeneration, optimizing resin bed performance and preventing resin backflow that could clog the smart control system and possibly leach into the water.
Save Big with UWS-FF2
5. Reduced Salt Usage
6. Fewer Regenerations
Spend less on salt with the UWS-FF2. Its advanced technology ensures significantly lower salt consumption compared to conventional softeners, translating to substantial savings over time.
Thanks to its highly efficient computerized system, the UWS-FF2 regenerates 2-3 times less frequently than traditional systems. This results in less water waste, lower maintenance, and a smaller environmental footprint.
7. Intelligent Proportional Regeneration
The Ultrefina smart control valve features advanced proportional regeneration technology that adapts to your actual water usage. Instead of following a fixed schedule, it monitors your consumption patterns in real-time and calculates the remaining soft water capacity. When it detects that demand may exceed supply before the next scheduled cycle, it triggers partial regeneration—saving salt, water, and energy while ensuring consistent soft water when you need it most.
8. Auto Holiday Mode for Maximum Savings
Going on vacation? The UWS-FF2 automatically enters Holiday Mode after detecting a drop in water consumption, saving water and energy when you’re away. Its efficiency is evident, even when you aren’t home.
