MEDIA SYSTEMS
5. MAINTENANCE
Brine tank must always contain enough salt pellets. Salt level must always be above the
water surface. Do not use any type of salt other than salt pellets for softener regeneration.
To avoid fouling of media during prolonged downtime without power and water supply, fill
the FRP tank with brine as follows. Start manual regeneration, wait 20 minutes into the
brine stage, then shut off water supply and scroll through the rest of regeneration cycles
by pressing REGEN until the control valve flashes SOFTENING and then displays current
time. Then, turn off the power of control valve. Also, perform regeneration when resuming
service after prolonged downtime.
Check the equipment for any damage and inspect pipework for leaks every few weeks.
Correct the control valve’s time if it is off. Replace sediment pre-filter if pressure drop
exceeds 1 bar (14 psi).
6. PRECAUTIONS
Turn off power and water supply and relieve pressure before doing any maintenance.
Do not subject the system to vibration, shock, or mechanical load.
Electrical board of the control valve must be protected from water/moisture during regular
service and any maintenance.
Hardness metals, iron, sediment and other impurities may form deposits on the surfaces of
the control valve, which can lead to failure. It is advised to carry out preventive maintenance
at least two times a years if there is an elevated concentration of iron in the influent water,
or at least once a year otherwise.
Only store indoors, vertically. Ambient conditions must meet the requirements listed for
installation room conditions in the Specifications section.
