The Monarch Ultra HE is a premium twin tank water softener designed to provide consistent high-volume softened water for both standard and high-demand domestic plumbing systems. Powered by a single 9V battery or an optional mains transformer, this dual-powered unit features a duplex Sof N polish system that maximises resin contact time. This ensures efficient water treatment while its integrated Opti Brining technology only regenerates the depleted resin. Such intelligent operation significantly reduces consumable usage, saving up to 32% on water and 13% on salt compared to older non-electric models. Delivering class-leading flow rates of up to 65lpm, it seamlessly integrates with unvented, pressurised, combi boiler and Megaflow systems.

Engineered for streamlined installation, the system incorporates reversible connections and a Rapid-Fit bypass that minimises required pipework components. It is supplied with installation kits suitable for 15mm and 22mm supplies. The unit accommodates both block and tablet salt to suit user preference. A built-in Customer Protect Programme monitors consumption to detect leaks and automatically adapts to seasonal time changes. Measuring 557mm in height, 269mm in width and 489mm in depth, it offers a robust capacity of 1520L between regenerations at 300ppm water hardness.
