The AISTRO-2 is an In-line water softening cartridge with clear housing. Exchanges calcium and magnesium with sodium ions and therefore reduces water hardness. Available with 1/4″ NPT connection.
The AISTRO-2 utilizes FDA-grade sodium based strongly acidic ion-exchange resin which reduces calcium and magnesium ions content in water. Calcium and magnesium are often called “hardness minerals”. Large amount of these ions in water are responsible for a formation of the scale deposits, higher detergent consumption and stains on a glassware. In extreme situations large amount of calcium and magnesium can lead to glass etching. Hard water leaves an invisible film on a skin, which blocks pores. This in turns causes chapping, itching and dryness. Softened water contains almost no calcium & magnesium. It enables people to use lesser quantities of soap, shampoo, and skin care products. Moreover detergent consumption is reduced. Available size: 2,5″ x 12″ Working temperature: 2°C – 45°C Longevity: 3 – 6 months (depending on feed water quality).
Applications / Uses– pre RO systems – under sink – icemakers – water coolers – refrigerators – coffee makers – and other application Keep in mind when water is extremely hard, filter will be exhausted very quickly, therefore a conventional water softener should be used.
Technical Specification
Media: FDA approved ion exchange resin Connections: 1/4″ NPT Filter Life: 3 – 6 months Dimensions: 2,5″ x 12″ (74 mm x 288 mm) Flow Rate: 2.8 l/min (0.75 gpm) Operating Pressure: 6 bar (90 psi) Minimum Temperature: 2°C (35°F) Maximum Temperature: 40°C (104°F) Body & Cap: PET Excellent choice for lime scale removal and lime scale problems Made in the EU with High Quality materials
ACR-1 series utilizes FDA-grade, sodium, based, strongly acidic ion-exchange resin which reduces calcium and magnesium ion content in water. Calcium and magnesium are often called "hardness minerals". Large amounts of these ions in water are responsible for the formation of scale deposits, higher detergent consumption and stains on glassware. In extreme cases large amounts of calcium and magnesium can lead to glass etching. Hard water damages home appliances such as: dishwashers and washing machines, and increases their energy consumption.
Aquafilter offers AISTRO In-line Softener cartridge (AISTRO, AISTRO-L-AQ and AISTRO-QC) suitable for POU (Point of Use) installations. Through its double media consisted of ion exchange-based resins, AISTRO cartridges effectively reduce water hardness (high concentration of calcium and magnesium ions). In case your feed water contains a high concentration of suspended matter, AISTRO is commonly preceded by a Sediment filter to avoid a detriment of the cartridge performance. AISTRO fits most 1/4” water lines and requires no additional tools for its installation.
This 55W UV unit with full WRAS approval is ideal for family homes with more than 4 bedrooms. They're also great for other light applications where the water quality is relatively good, but there is a bacteriological issue.

This initial filtration stage helps protect the downstream treatment cartridges from excessive particulate loading.
Stage 2 – Activated Carbon Filtration
The second stage uses an activated carbon cartridge to help improve water quality by reducing chlorine-related taste and odour.
Carbon filtration can be particularly useful where the incoming water supply has an unpleasant chlorine taste or smell.
Its performance depends on the cartridge specification, water chemistry, contact time and flow rate.
Stage 3 – Iron Reduction and pH Adjustment
The third stage uses a specialist iron-reduction cartridge.
The FCCFE20B cartridge is listed by GroAqua as an iron-reducing and pH-adjusting cartridge. It is intended to help address iron-related water-quality issues and may be useful where iron contributes to discolouration and staining.
Iron-treatment performance depends on the concentration and form of iron in the incoming water, as well as pH and other water-quality conditions.
Water testing is recommended before selecting an iron-reduction system.
What's Included in the Kit?
The matching three-cartridge replacement configuration identifies:
1 x FCPS5M20B 5-micron sediment cartridge.
1 x PRISM Plus activated carbon cartridge.
1 x FCCFE20B iron-reducing and pH-adjusting cartridge.
The complete filtration assembly is specified as a three-housing 20" Big Blue system.
Confirm the supplied housing assembly and accessories before listing them as included. These may include the mounting platform, pressure gauges, housing wrench and BACINIX bacteriostatic centering discs.
Suitable Applications
This system may be suitable for:
Domestic whole-house water filtration.
Water supplies affected by iron-related staining.
Properties experiencing orange or brown water discolouration.
Incoming water requiring sediment filtration and carbon treatment.
Suitable light-commercial water-treatment installations.
Properties where water testing identifies iron levels suitable for cartridge-based treatment.
For best results, test the incoming water before installation. Important parameters include:
Total iron concentration.
Ferrous and ferric iron content.
pH.
Manganese concentration.
Suspended solids.
Water flow and daily consumption.
The results will help determine whether this cartridge-based system is appropriate or whether a dedicated iron-removal treatment system is required.

Installation and Maintenance
Install the filtration system on a suitable incoming water supply using compatible 1" plumbing connections.
Allow sufficient clearance around the housings to make cartridge replacement and servicing straightforward.
During operation:
Check the system regularly for leaks.
Monitor pressure gauges where fitted.
Inspect cartridges according to the manufacturer's maintenance guidance.
Replace cartridges when their recommended service life is reached or performance deteriorates.
Retest water quality where iron reduction is a primary treatment requirement.
Cartridge service life depends on incoming water quality, iron concentration, sediment loading, water consumption and operating conditions.
Important Water Treatment Information
This system combines sediment filtration, activated carbon treatment and specialist iron-reduction media.
Iron-reduction performance depends on the type and concentration of iron present in the water. Dissolved ferrous iron, oxidised ferric iron and particulate iron can behave differently during filtration.
The system should not be assumed to remove every form of iron or manganese under all conditions. Water analysis is recommended to confirm suitability.
This is a filtration system, not a universal water purifier or microbiological disinfection system. It should not be assumed to remove bacteria, viruses or all dissolved contaminants, or to make microbiologically unsafe water safe to drink.
