6.3 Installation of the water softening system
After preparation for installation, place the softener in the designated place,
When connecting the water softening system follow the instructions on
figure 2
on
page 38:
connect the water inlet (1) and outlet (2) to the device;
mount the flexible hose (1/2 ") of the regeneration cycle.
The drain hose cannot be rigid to avoid bending and congestions which may
result in overfilling the brine tank and disrupt the regeneration process.
Install a mechanical fine filter upstream of the water softening device in order to
protect the device against damages caused by deposits in the water system.
Fill in the brine tank of the water softening device with salt tablets (max. filling
100 mm from the upper edge of the brine tank). Then pour 5 litres of water.
Check and tighter the connections if necessary.
Connect the water softening system to the grounded electrical socket.
The device is ready to work. The fine tuning of the device is performed by the user
on site.
The control valve is pre-set for smart generation (Downflow) A-03 (description on
page 35).
The control valve is set for the regeneration at 2 a.m., every 675 litres (0.675 m3)
with the water hardness of 20 German degrees.
Depending on the water hardness, allow the flow of specific amount of water before
the regeneration starts (check the hardness of water, take into account the data
included in table on page 32-33). Set the regeneration time as required.
Program the control valve (see item 6.5).
Open the water supply to the water softening system.
The water pressure must be at least 2.0 bars and a maximum of 6 bars.
Start the regeneration by pressing
button
. You will hear the sound of the electric
motor working, which means that the regeneration has started. During the
regeneration process the system is vented and the brine tank is filled with water.
After the regeneration process is finished, the device is ready to continue its
operation. During the regeneration process the hard water is available.
