SWN 2MF-R filter

Swan 2MF-R Bayonet Filter for Limescale Reduction

The Swan 2MF-R is a bayonet filter cartridge designed for the treatment of drinking water by reducing total water hardness.

The Swan 2MF-R is the Swan-branded equivalent of the Water Pro ZS03 and uses strong gel-type cation exchange resins that work through an ion exchange process.

Unlike conventional activated carbon filters, the Swan 2MF-R is not primarily designed to reduce chlorine or odours, but to address water hardness, helping to reduce limescale precipitation and formation.

It is particularly suitable for applications where water is heated or nebulised, such as coffee machines, beverage preparation equipment and systems where limescale deposits may affect component performance over time.

Cation Exchange Resins for Water Hardness Reduction

The Swan 2MF-R uses strong gel-type cation exchange resins.

The ion exchange process reduces total water hardness by acting on the mineral salts responsible for limescale formation.

Reducing water hardness helps limit limescale deposits on heating elements, nozzles and appliance components, helping maintain equipment efficiency over time.

The treatment does not alter the pH of the water.

Capacity Depends on Water Hardness

One of the key characteristics of the Swan 2MF-R is that its capacity cannot be expressed as one fixed litre value.

The cartridge capacity varies according to the hardness of the incoming water and ranges from 110 to 330 litres.

The harder the incoming water, the lower the cartridge capacity will be.

For this reason, it is important to know, or at least estimate, the water hardness of the installation when selecting the filter.

Ideal for Heated Water and Limescale-Sensitive Applications

The Swan 2MF-R is particularly suitable for applications where water is heated or nebulised.

Reducing water hardness can help limit limescale formation inside appliances and also contribute to improving the characteristics of hot beverages such as coffee and tea.

It is therefore suitable for:

• coffee machines
• beverage preparation equipment
• systems using heated water
• appliances with nozzles or nebulisation systems
• compact water treatment systems
• professional Ho.Re.Ca. applications

Bayonet Filter

The Swan 2MF-R features a bayonet connection compatible with filter heads designed for this type of cartridge.

The bayonet system allows practical and quick cartridge replacement.

Before purchasing, it is recommended to check the compatibility of the existing filter head and water treatment system.

Swan 2MF-R and Water Pro ZS03

The Swan 2MF-R is the Swan-branded equivalent of the Water Pro ZS03.

Both use a cartridge containing strong gel-type cation exchange resins designed to reduce total water hardness. The equivalent Water Pro model has a flow rate of 0.7 litres/min and a capacity ranging from 110 to 330 litres, depending on incoming water hardness.

The main function of the filter is therefore water hardness control and limescale prevention, rather than chlorine or impurity reduction, as provided by activated carbon filters.

Why Choose the Swan 2MF-R?

The Swan 2MF-R is suitable for applications requiring a compact solution for reducing water hardness at the point of use.

Key benefits include:

• cation exchange resin technology
• reduction of total water hardness
• limescale prevention
• capacity ranging from 110 to 330 litres
• flow rate of 0.7 litres/min
• does not alter water pH
• bayonet connection
• vertical installation only
• ideal for water intended for heating or nebulisation
• suitable for coffee machines and Ho.Re.Ca. applications

The Swan 2MF-R provides a dedicated solution for limescale control in drinking water, particularly useful in applications where water hardness can affect equipment performance and service life.
