Compact metered water softener
Digital control in a space-conscious cabinet
The Osmio 9L Digital Water Softener is designed for mains-fed homes where installation space matters. Its metered controller tracks water use and regenerates the resin according to demand rather than relying on a fixed daily schedule.

Efficient demand control
Regeneration matched to measured water use
The digital valve measures consumption and calculates when the resin needs to be regenerated. This helps avoid unnecessary cycles while maintaining the softener's available capacity.
- Meter-controlled regeneration
- Up-flow regeneration process
- Clear colour display and guided controls
- Compact all-in-one cabinet
Compact footprint
Approximately 300 mm wide and 495 mm deep.

Soft water throughout the home
Reduce limescale at the source
Ion-exchange resin removes the calcium and magnesium responsible for hard water. This helps protect boilers, pipework and water-using appliances while reducing scale deposits on taps, shower screens and bathroom surfaces.
Softened water also allows soaps and detergents to work more effectively, helping reduce residue on laundry, dishes, skin and hair.

Helpful answers
Frequently asked questions
Why is it called the 9L if 10.5 litres of resin is listed?
“9L” is Osmio's product designation. The model-specific specification table lists 10.5 litres as the resin quantity, so the technical value is presented separately and transparently.
Does the Osmio 9L require electricity?
Yes. Its digital controller requires an electrical supply. The listed transformer output is 12 V AC at 650 mA.
How much installation space is required?
The listed cabinet dimensions are 497 mm high, 300 mm wide and 495 mm deep. Additional space is needed for connections, salt filling and future servicing.
Is the supplied manual specific to this 9L model?
No. It is a general manual for the wider Osmio digital water softener range. Use the model-specific specification on this page for the 9L cabinet and performance figures.
How do I know whether this is the right capacity?
Selection should be based on water hardness, daily demand, peak flow, pressure and available installation space. Contact us with those details and we can help check the model before you order.
