The awards are presented by ARMO, the international umbrella organization for the rotational molding industry. Seven products from seven countries are featured in the 2026 edition\u2014with the Fawa\u00ae Soft being the only one in the water treatment category.<\/p><p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The award recognizes not the design, but the use of resources.<\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><h2 style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>THE TECHNICAL CORE<\/strong><\/h2><h3 style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>When does a system regenerate?<\/strong><\/h3><p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">All ion-exchange water softeners work the same way: A bed of resin binds calcium and magnesium and releases sodium in exchange. When the resin is exhausted, a brine solution rinses it clean again. This process is called regeneration.<\/p><p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The difference lies in the fact that, <strong>when<\/strong> A system that does that.<\/p><p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Fawa\u00ae Soft measures how much water you actually use and uses that information to determine the condition of the resin bed. Guests, a pile of laundry, or high water usage trigger an earlier regeneration cycle. When you\u2019re away on vacation, a forced regeneration is automatically performed only once a week to prevent bacterial growth in the resin bed.<\/p><p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is precisely the criterion for the 2026 edition of the awards: systems that use resources only when they are needed.<\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><h2 style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>SWISS COOPERATION<\/strong><\/h2><h3 style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>The housing was manufactured by Gr\u00fctter Kunststoff + Formen AG<\/strong><\/h3><p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The fact that the Fawa\u00ae Soft is featured at all in a magazine about rotational molding is due to its shell. In rotational molding, a heated mold rotates around two axes until the molten plastic coats the inner wall evenly. The result is a seamless housing with uniform wall thickness\u2014without any seams where moisture can penetrate.<\/p><p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For a device that sits in a damp utility room for years and is handled regularly when refilling the salt, this is a key factor in its durability. The housing was developed in collaboration with the <a href=\"https:\/\/gruetterag.ch\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Gr\u00fctter Plastics + Molds, Inc. <\/a>in Hombrechtikon.<\/p><p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Fawa\u00ae Soft is assembled at our manufacturing facility in Aesch, BL.<\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><h2 style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>CERTIFIED QUALITY<\/strong><\/h2><h3 style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Certifications at a Glance<\/strong><\/h3><ul style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><li><strong>SVGW-certified<\/strong> \u2013 The Fawa\u00ae Soft family (CN line) bears the seal of approval from the Swiss Gas and Water Association, certificate 2401-7280.<\/li><li><strong>DIN EN 14743<\/strong> \u2013 The Fawa\u00ae Soft was also tested by a recognized testing laboratory for hydraulic, process engineering, acoustic, and microbiological properties.
