Central softening

Spanish translation: sistema de ablandamiento/tratamiento de agua centralizado

09:14 Dec 2, 2013
English to Spanish translations [PRO]
Science - Science (general) / Tratamiento de aguas
English term or phrase: Central softening
El término aparece en un estudio sobre el tratamiento de aguas. En esta parte del texto se analizan las ventajas de este tipo de tratamiento frente a los que se utilizan en los domicilios particulares. Contexto:
"One of the main reasons for the introduction of central softening was the potential environmental and health effects of copper and lead releases"
"Central softening at large scale is relatively inexpensive"
Estoy barajando la posibilidad de traducirlo como "ablandamiento centralizado", pero no acaba de convencerme.

Gracias por vuestra ayuda.

Muchas gracias, Smart. En este caso, he optado por eliminar "sistema", ya que en el contexto comenta las diferencias entre diferentes "técnicas" (centralizada e individual). Gracias.
