Why this softener earns its place
FB152 is the 16 litre Classeq WS16-SK base exchange external water softener. The verified manufacturer note is deliberately simple: it is a base exchange water softener suitable for cold-fill water up to 35°C, so it belongs on cold-feed warewashing installations rather than hot-feed pipework.
The unit is built in stainless steel with a silver finish, giving it a durable external casing for plant-room, kitchen or wash-area positioning. Its listed footprint is narrow at 180mm wide, while the 620mm height is the figure to check against the intended service space and any shelf, pipe or wall clearance around the machine.
At 20kg gross, FB152 is the heaviest of these three Classeq base exchange softeners and should be treated as a fixed service item once plumbed in. Published data here does not confirm capacity, salt routine, flow rate or machine compatibility, so those details should be checked separately before it is matched to a specific dishwasher.
