How to configure hardness:
To ensure a correct functioning of the
water softener, the inlet water hardness
must be configured in the equipment.
Using the hardness adjustment knob,
turn the hardness dial. The configured
value will be that matching the indicator
arrow. The hardness configuration tables
below indicate the equivalence of the
different types of hardness (see ‘Tables
for the adjustment of the hardness
regulator’ in page 8). It is recommended
to apply a ‘safety margin’ in the
configured hardness so the equipment
can adapt to the possible fluctuations
that there may be (e.g. if 27ºHF are
measured, 30ºHF must be configured).
NOTE: The hardness adjustment knob is
protected by a blue plastic locking clip
to prevent any tampering or misuse.
To configure hardness, remove the
locking clip. Once hardness has been
configured, put the locking clip back
on its place.
7.1. MANUAL REGENERATION
.
Using a no. 2 Phillips screwdriver, press
firmly the regeneration activator of
the water softener and turn it slowly
clockwise until you hear the four clicks
to initiate the regeneration. At this point,
the flow of water inside the equipment
should be audible. If you cannot hear
water moving through the system, maybe
the dial has not advanced enough.
8. HYDRAULIC START-UP
Before starting the system up, please
check that all steps prior to installation,
assembly and programming have been
properly followed, according to this
instructions’ manual, as well as the
regulations in force. To start the system
up, please follow the instructions below:
Do not charge the system with salt
until the end of the start-up. In order to
prevent any air pressure on the water
softener and the pipes, please follow
these instructions in order.
1. Keep the by-pass valve in the “by-
pass” position.
2.
Fully open two or more cold and
treated water taps located near the
water softener.
3. Start a manual regeneration as stated
in section ‘Manual regeneration’.
4. Slowly open the by-pass to allow the
entrance of water inside the system.
Keep the by-pass partially open. At
this point, the inlet flow must be
rather low, since in this position water
will come in from the bottom of the
bottle and move upwards to the drain.
5.
When water starts flowing
continuously through the drain, fully
open the water inlet of the system.
At this point, the bottle will be full of
water and so a higher flow will not
produce any damage. Water going
out to the drain may be a bit yellowish
or brown. This is completely normal,
since it is due to the preservatives of
the resin.
6. After a few minutes, you will notice
an increase of the water flow towards
the drain. This means that the system
is in the washing position. Let the
equipment finish the process. After
a few minutes, cut the flow of water
towards the drain and refill the brine
tank.
7. Leave the equipment in this position
until water stops flowing in. At this
point, the water level should be
approx. 7-10cm above the bottom of
the tank.
IMPORTANT
: Check the tightness
of the brine line, and make sure
that there are no leaks and that the
refilling process has come to a halt.
Note: Since air accumulates inside the
equipment, it is possible that at this
point the equipment might be blocking
the brine level float, which would end the
washing without refilling the brine tank.
If this occurs, repeat the previous steps.
