Ultra Compact Meter Controlled Water Softener 

 

 

 

Setting the machine to service

 

Complete the programme sections before setting into service 
mode (see page 5 of this guide).

 

To set the machine to service simply alter the position of the 
inlet and outlet valve and turn the bypass valve to the off 
position. It is recommended that this procedure is completed in 
the following order. 

 

1.

 

Turn the softener inlet valve to the on position 

 

2.

 

Turn the bypass valve to the off position. Allow 
approximately five minutes to let the incoming water to 
build a level of pressure before completing step 3. 

 

3.

 

Turn the softener outlet valve to the on position. 

 

You should now complete any programming instructions that 
apply to your particular machine and perform a manual 
regeneration.

A manual regeneration is performed at this stage to allow you to confirm that the unit has no 
leaks from the installed valves and the waste runs free. This regeneration will also assist in 
clearing any potential air locks that may be present within the system. The regeneration will 
also reset any internal meter or timer devices that dictate the frequency of the regeneration 
cycle. 

 

 It is important that you have your softener regularly serviced.  We recommend that your 
softener is serviced every 24

-

36 months. Like a car, your softener needs to be checked over 

to ensure it is working at its optimum performance levels. 

 

 

Your machine should now be supplying your property with soft water. If you find that the 
water feels too soft for you it is possible to dilute the softness by slightly opening the bypass 
valve and allow some hard water to blend 

 

If is important that the softener is sited in a position where the controls cannot be inadvertently      

altered or changed accidentally as there is no lock out facility on this water softener.
