How does the Joep water softener work?
Joep softens tap water through ion exchange. Calcium and magnesium ions are captured by resin, resulting in soft water. Once the resin is saturated, Joep automatically cleans it with regeneration salt. The regeneration process is tailored to the measured water consumption and usually takes place at night.
- The hard water enters via the bypass at Joep's place.
- The resin in Joep exchanges calcium and magnesium for soft water.
- The soft water flows from the bypass further into your home.
Smart, economical and attentive
How efficient is the Joep water softener?
De fabrikant beschrijft automatische regeneratie, een extra miniregeneratie bij onverwacht hoog verbruik en ingebouwde lekdetectie.
- Mini-regeneration. In the event of unexpectedly high water consumption, Joep regenerates automatically (by default at 2:00 AM).
- Eco program. Adapts to your water consumption and uses water and salt as efficiently as possible.
- Leak detection. Joep detects any leaks in your piping system.
Compactly designed for many Dutch homes
How many people is Joep suitable for?
The Joep water softener is suitable for both small and larger households. The system automatically adjusts regeneration based on actual water consumption and has a maximum flow rate of 5 m³ per hour. This allows Joep to provide sufficient soft water, even during peak times. For an exceptionally large household, very hard water, or multiple bathrooms, we recommend a personal capacity check first.

Critical of salt
How much salt does the Joep water softener use?
On average, Joep uses approximately 15 kg of regeneration salt per person per year. Per regeneration cycle, the system uses about 0.9 to 1.5 kg of salt and approximately 49 liters of water. How often Joep regenerates depends on the water hardness and the household's water consumption. Always use A-grade regeneration salt that complies with NF, EN 973, or EN 1408.
- Grade A salt. NF, EN 973 and EN 1408 on the bag and 99.8% sodium chloride, that's how you keep Joep's resin in top condition.
- Economical. Joep uses only approx. 15 kilos of salt per person per year.
- Starter kit included. Joep comes with a starter kit of salt, so you can get started right away; no hassle with having to buy salt first.
