BWT Bewamat 25A is a compact simplex water softener designed for softening or partially softening drinking and service water in residential applications.
It combines reliable ion-exchange technology with intelligent quantity-dependent regeneration to reduce limescale while keeping operation straightforward and predictable.
Suitable for residential applications where a compact softener is sufficient for the home's typical water demand.
Designed for normal household water use in apartments, houses and smaller residential properties.
Compact resin volume balances treatment capacity with a smaller physical footprint.
Bewamat 25A reduces calcium and magnesium ions responsible for water hardness, helping minimise limescale formation in pipework, fittings, boilers and connected household equipment.
Incoming drinking or service water passes through the ion-exchange resin inside the softening column.
Calcium and magnesium ions are exchanged for sodium ions, lowering the hardness of the treated water.
The treated water is supplied to the property with significantly reduced scale-forming potential.
The controller uses quantity-dependent regeneration. It checks the remaining supply of softened water and determines whether sufficient capacity is available for the following day.
Available softened-water capacity is calculated according to the programmed water hardness and actual consumption.
At the programmed regeneration time, the controller checks whether enough capacity remains for the following day and regenerates the column when necessary.
If the softening capacity is not used within four days, the electronic control automatically triggers regeneration.
The system includes a device that disinfects the ion-exchange resin during the regeneration cycle.
By reducing water hardness, Bewamat 25A helps minimise calcification and scale-related problems in the household water system.
Reduced hardness helps limit white mineral deposits on taps, mixers, shower glass and ceramic surfaces.
Lower calcium and magnesium levels help reduce scale formation on heating surfaces.
Washing machines, dishwashers and other water-using appliances are exposed to less scale-forming hardness.
Reduced hardness helps minimise mineral accumulation inside pipes and connected fittings.
The integrated blending valve allows the final water hardness to be adjusted. BWT recommends approximately 4–8 °dH for blended water.
Compared with larger Bewamat models, the 25A uses a smaller resin volume and requires less salt and regeneration water per cycle.

BWT specifies installation of a protective filter upstream of the softener and no more than 1 metre before the unit. This prevents dirt and corrosion products from entering the system.
* Correct system sizing depends on inlet hardness, desired outlet hardness, water consumption and available inlet pressure.
Key questions about BWT Bewamat 25A, residential water softening and regeneration.
BWT Bewamat 25A is a compact simplex ion-exchange water softener designed for softening or partial softening of drinking and service water in residential applications.
The nominal softening capacity is 25 m³×°dH according to EN 14743. Actual water volume between regenerations depends on incoming water hardness and the selected blended-water hardness.
BWT specifies a nominal flow of 1.4 m³/h according to EN 14743, with a pressure loss of 1 bar at nominal flow.
The controller monitors the available softened-water supply and checks whether sufficient capacity remains for the following day. If not, regeneration is initiated automatically at the programmed time.
Yes. If the available capacity is not used within four days, the electronic system automatically triggers regeneration.
Yes. BWT specifies that the ion-exchange resin is disinfected during regeneration.
Approximate salt consumption is 1.2 kg per regeneration. The system can store up to approximately 15 kg of regeneration salt.
BWT specifies an approximate regeneration-water requirement of 55 litres per regeneration cycle.
Yes. The integrated blending valve allows the final water hardness to be adjusted. BWT recommends approximately 4–8 °dH for blended water.
Yes. BWT requires a protective filter to be installed upstream of the water softener, no more than one metre before the unit.
Bewamat 25A is the more compact residential model with 25 m³×°dH nominal capacity, 8 litres of resin and 1.4 m³/h nominal flow. Bewamat 75A provides 75 m³×°dH capacity, 21 litres of resin and 1.8 m³/h nominal flow for larger applications.
