Demineralisation cartridge IVAR.PERMASOFT ALU (IVAR.PT-PS5000ALU) – 3/4" M, for boilers with AlSi heat exchangers – SALE
Code: IVAPTPS5000ALUProduct detailed description
The IVAR.PERMASOFT ALU (type IVAR.PT-PS5000ALU, code IVAPTPS5000ALU) 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. This is the version for heating systems with heat exchangers made of aluminium-silicon alloy (AlSi); exhaustion of the filling is indicated by a colour change. 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 9
- 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 ALU 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 filling capacity is 5000 °GSG × l, so the amount of treated water depends on the total hardness of the supply water. A colour change of the filling indicates exhaustion.
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.
How does the ALU version differ from the standard cartridge?
It is intended for systems with aluminium-silicon alloy (AlSi) heat exchangers and alkalises the water to pH 8.2 to 9. The standard IVAR.PERMASOFT cartridge (IVAPTPS5000) reaches pH 8.2 to 10.

IVAR designs, develops and manufactures highly energy-efficient heating and plumbing systems. We have over 10,000 catalogue items - mass-produced products and unique items - in addition to customised systems and combinations of complex products. And it’s all “Made in Italy”.
Vision
To make life easier for our clients, our clients' customers and our employees, thanks to our ability to be constantly innovative.
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.
