’s Manual
In the event that pipelines are blocked
with iron, install a separate iron filter unit
before the water softener.
It is recommended valves are installed
to take samples for both treated and
untreated water, as close as possible to
the water softener.
If there are quick-closing valves, it is
recommended to install a device to
prevent water hammers.
PRECAUTIONS:
1. Reading and review: Carefully read all
procedures, guides and regulations
before installing and using the Ergo
water softening equipment.
2.
Treatment of chemicals: Avoid the
presence of flammable products or
materials as a safety measure for
preventing the risks of explosion and
fire. Make sure to use the glue and the
cleaning product for PVC in a well-
ventilated area.
3. Eye protection: Wear safety goggles
during the installation process to
prevent any injury in your eyes,
caused by the ejection of welding
materials or metal and plastic chips.
4.
Welding: Use adequate protective
equipment to protect the exposed
surfaces against the flame of the gun
or an excessive temperature increase.
Only use welding guns WITHOUT
LEAD.
5. Grounding: When installing a plastic
pipe between two metallic pipes, a
grounding cable must be installed to
prevent the interruption of grounding
continuity.
6. Easy reach: Use a ladder for working at
heights which are out of reach. If you
must work at heights for a prolonged
period of time, use adequate safety
devices.
Note: We recommend that the
installation is carried out by a qualified
installer. Failure to install the equipment
in accordance with this manual will
render the Limited Warranty void.
If daytime pressure is higher than 5.5
bars, night-time pressure may exceed
the maximum. Please use a pressure-
reducing valve if necessary (a pressure-
reducing valve may reduce the flow).
Note: The Limited Warranty of the
equipment does not cover any damages
due to the freezing of the equipment.
If you have questions about the Ergo
water equipment or if you think that it
is not working properly, contact your
distributor.
5.3 START-UP AND MAINTENANCE
The system must be periodically
sanitised. See ‘Section 8’ for further
information. Maintenance should be
carried out by qualified technicians who
work under the appropriate hygienic
conditions. (For further information
contact your installer.)
6.
EQUIPMENT
INSTALLATION
The installation of the water softener
must be carried out by skilled technical
personnel. Follow the recommendations
in ‘Section 5’.
Given that the system that you are going
to install improves the quality of the water
you consume and is considered a food,
all of the tools that you are going to use
for the assembly and installation must
be clean and, under no circumstances,
contaminated or impregnated with
grease, oils or rust. Please be extremely
careful when handling the materials that
are going to be in contact with treated
or untreated water.
(For further information, please contact
your distributor.)
