Demineralisation cartridge IVAR.PERMASOFT (IVAR.PT-PS5000) – 3/4" M, for filling heating systems – SALE
Code: IVAPTPS5000Product detailed description
The IVAR.PERMASOFT (type IVAR.PT-PS5000, code IVAPTPS5000) is a single-use cartridge with a blend of ion-exchange resins and a pH stabiliser that removes minerals and salts from the water when the heating system is filled. With supply water of 14 °dH (2.5 mmol/l) it produces approximately 300 litres of desalinated water. It works without chemical additives and without a power supply.
Effect on the water
- lower total mineral content and conductivity – unlike conventional softening
- protection against scale and corrosion, also removes chlorides and sulphates
- alkalisation of the water to pH 8.2 to 10
- treatment in line with VDI 2035 (sheet 1) in a single step
Use and installation
- 3/4" M (DN 20) connection directly to the water supply, flow direction marked by an arrow
- max. pressure 6 bar, max. temperature 50 °C, max. flow 8 l/min
- for short-term use only when filling or topping up the system, max. 36 months
- before filling with demineralised water, flushing the system with a suitable cleaning agent is recommended
The filling capacity is 5000 °GSG × l, so the amount of treated water depends on the total hardness of the supply water. To monitor exhaustion, the manufacturer recommends the IVAR.PT-LFS conductivity meter – once the capacity is used up, its red LED flashes. The exhausted filling can be exchanged with the manufacturer in a returnable container. Made in Germany.

Frequently asked questions
What is the IVAR.PERMASOFT cartridge used for?
It demineralises the water used to fill or top up a heating system. This helps meet boiler manufacturers' water quality requirements and the VDI 2035 part 1 guideline.
How much water does the cartridge treat?
The capacity is 5000 °GSG × l, so it depends on the hardness of the supply water. At 14 °dH (2.5 mmol/l) that is approximately 300 litres.
How do I know the cartridge is exhausted?
The manufacturer recommends adding the IVAR.PT-LFS conductivity meter with a 3/4" connection. Once the cartridge capacity is used up, its red LED starts flashing.
Is the cartridge suitable for a boiler with an aluminium heat exchanger?
For systems with heat exchangers made of aluminium-silicon alloy (AlSi), the IVAR.PERMASOFT ALU version with code IVAPTPS5000ALU is intended.

Mission
To design and manufacture advanced hydronic solutions that reduce installation complexity and energy consumption.
“Made in Italy” adds value
IVAR has been producing heating and plumbing system components since 1985: valves for heating bodies, direct heat metering modules, heat cost allocators, pipes and fittings, substations for heating systems, distribution manifolds, radiant panel systems, and components for solar and geothermal systems. And it’s all “Made in Italy”.
Over 200 people are employed at our manufacturing facilities in Prevalle (in northern Italy’s Brescia province). The site has been designed to streamline our many production and operational stages.
The Italian headquarters also acts as a hub for the wider IVAR Group, set up with the goal of distributing products beyond Italy’s borders. The group now has 11 branches, in Australia, Belgium, China, Germany, the United Kingdom, the Czech Republic, Romania, Slovakia, Spain, the United States and Tunisia.
Know How
Research, development and numerous laboratory tests guarantee that our clients’ requests can be translated into new high-efficiency products.
The stages required for production take place internally, beginning with hot forming, which is carried out at our subsidiary Valmon Stampati. Our continuous implementation of projects under the Industry 4.0 initiative also allows us to take full advantage of new releases in technology and IT to improve our manufacturing efficiency.
As a company, IVAR is constantly evolving. Every day, we invest in strengthening our products, in improving our production processes and in attaining new patents and certifications.
