This leaflet is an integral part of the product.
Please read the warnings provided carefully as
these provide important information concerning
the safe installation, use and servicing of this pro
duct. This water softener is intended to be used to
soften cold drinking water only, any other use is
considered improper and as such unreasonable.
WARNING:
use only sodium chloride NaCl in lar
ge grains (kitchen salt) for regeneration. The use
of any other chemical substances or products is
strictly forbidden.
The resins in the water softener are needed
for this to work properly: please do not throw
them away.
INSTALLATION
• After removing the packaging, make sure that
the water softener isn’t damaged. Keep the
packaging materials (plastic bags, cardboard
box etc. ...) out of the reach of children as they
can be dangerous. The water softener should be
installed in full observance of the current laws,
following the manufacturer’s instructions and by
experts. If installed incorrectly, the equipment
may cause injuries to people and animals and
damage to property, in which case the manu
facturer cannot be held liable.
• Install the water softener in rooms where the
temperature is minimum 5°C and maximum
30°C (Centigrade).
CONNECTION TO THE WATER MAINS
(figure
1)
• The user must install a tap between the water
mains and the water softener so that the water
can be turned off in an emergency, plus a check
valve to avoid any pressure returns.
• Connect the water inlet and outlet hoses to the
provided unions and make sure they are tighte
ned properly.
• Place the hose in the joint and push it until it
stops. The metal elements of the quick con
nection prevent the hose from coming out.
To disconnect the water softener, press the pro
truding pincers and at the same time extract the
hose from the quick connection.
Place the drain hose directly in a drain.

WARNING: during the regeneration equip-
ment connected to the softener is supplied
with water but not softened.
To ensure the efficiency of the water softener at all
times, we recommend routine regeneration to suit
the use made of the water softener and the hard
ness of the water used.
Please use the sheet printed on the last page to
keep a note of the dates when regeneration is
carried out.
