5. Overall View of the water softener appliance
1
The control system is the most important part
of the softening appliance. Its functioning
technique is based on ceramic plate technol-
ogy, which is dependent on the relative posi-
tion to one another, which generate succes-
sive work and revitalisation cycles.
The water softener is factory-ready and will
work immediately after connection. Only the
time of day, the water hardness and the revi-
talisation time have to be entered.
2
The bypass is another important element that
accomplishes several important functions in
the operation of the water softening system.
Thanks to this bypass, it is possible to quickly
and easily remove or add the water softener
in to or out of the existing water installation.
In addition, you can adjust the water flow in
the system, so that softened water or normal
tap water flows through. The bypass can also
handle mixing functions.
3
The tank is filled with a filter which allows ion
exchange. For optimal operation of the device,
the filter should be replaced at least every 10
years (depending on the water quality and
water hardness).
4
The body of the appliance is made of durable, flexible plastic. It acts as a salt and brine tank.
Inside there is mounted a cylinder with a filter, an ion exchanger and a float valve. Check and
control the level of the brine in the tank - Protect the unit from overfilling. There is an over-
flow pipe on the side wall of the housing.
5
The float valve regulates the refilling process of water and supplies the saline solution. Proper
functioning ensures the correctness of the revitalisation process.
