Before unpacking the water softener, keep the package upright.
Do not place heavy loads (e.g. bag of salts) on the water softener.
Install the water softener on the cold water system (5°C to 20°C).
If the pressure in the cold water system exceeds 3 bar, a pressure reducing valve must be installed and set
to 3 bar.
Install the water softener in a room at an ambient temperature between 5°C and 35°C, in a building
protected from frost.
Install the water softener close to a waste water evacuation system (drain).
Install the water softener close to a standard electrical power socket (not supplied).
Upstream of the water softener, install the following (in sequence):
- An unsoftened cold water pipe to supply the kitchen tap (not supplied).
- A shut-off valve (not supplied).
- A standard isolator or standard non-return valve (not supplied).
- A new filter with a rating of 20 µm (supplied). Change the cartridge regularly,
in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions.
Downstream of the water softener, install the following (in sequence):
- A shut-off valve (not supplied).
- A siphon with a standard isolator (not supplied) on the brine outlet.
Do not cover the water softener. It could be damaged by poor ventilation.
It is not recommended that the water softener be installed in a basement, as there is a risk of backflow.
