Compact Electric Water Softening for Modern Homes
The Kinetico NuWave 800 is a compact electric water softener designed for households that want reliable limescale control without giving up valuable kitchen or utility-room space. Its demand-based electronic control, compact cabinet and efficient regeneration cycle make it well suited to everyday domestic use.
Compact Width
Slim cabinet design makes the NuWave 800 easier to position in tighter installation spaces.
Capacity at 300 ppm
Rated soft-water capacity between regenerations under the stated test conditions.
Salt per Regeneration
Designed to use a measured amount of salt during each regeneration cycle.
Regeneration Cycle
Regeneration duration for the NuWave 800 under the published specification.
Electronic Control Matched to Household Water Use
The NuWave 800 uses an electronic control system that can be programmed to suit household demand and incoming water conditions. Rather than regenerating continuously, the system is designed to regenerate when required.
This approach helps reduce unnecessary salt and water use while maintaining a consistent softened-water supply for everyday household use.
- Electric demand-controlled operation
- Programmable to suit local water conditions
- Compact single-cabinet design
- Salt top-up through the integrated cabinet
Designed to Fit Where Space Is Limited
The NuWave 800 measures 244 × 420 × 555 mm (W × D × H), giving it a narrow footprint compared with many conventional cabinet softeners.
That makes it a practical option for kitchens, utility spaces and other installations where cabinet width is limited but a full salt-based softener is still required.
Reduce the Effects of Hard Water Across the Home
Hard water contains calcium and magnesium minerals that can form limescale on taps, shower screens, heating elements and inside plumbing systems. A salt-based water softener removes these hardness minerals through ion exchange before the water reaches the rest of the property.
Less Limescale
Helps reduce scale deposits on taps, shower fittings and water-heating surfaces.
Appliance Protection
Reduces hardness minerals entering dishwashers, washing machines and hot-water equipment.
Easier Cleaning
Softened water can reduce chalky residue on bathrooms, kitchens and glass surfaces.
Softer Feel
Many households prefer the feel of softened water for bathing, washing and laundry.
Check the Space, Services and Plumbing Before Ordering
The NuWave 800 requires connection to the incoming water supply, a suitable drain for regeneration discharge and a nearby electrical supply. Access should also be left for salt filling and future servicing.
Use the installation guide and dimensions below to confirm the available space before ordering.
Measured Salt and Water Use
The NuWave 800 uses a defined regeneration cycle to restore the softening media after its available capacity has been used.
