3 | Designated application
Water softeners of the GENO-mat duo WE-X series are
designed for the softening and partial softening of cold drinking
and process water. As twin systems, they are suitable for the
continuous supply of soft water. There are system types
available with regeneration with full salting or economy salting.
In this case, the type of regeneration is type-specific and is not
allowed to be changed independently.


Note : In order to soften the water to less than 0.1 °dH, only and
exclusively systems with full salting may be applied.
The water to be softened has to be free of iron and manganese
(less than 0.2 mg iron and/or 0.05 mg manganese per litre).
Its temperature must not exceed 30 °C. The maximum ambient
temperature is 40 °C.
The systems are used for the (partial) softening of well, process,
boiler feed, cooling and air-conditioning water.
When softening drinking water, the provisions of the German
Drinking Water Ordinance are binding (residual hardness of
3 °dH - 8 °dH, max. sodium content of 200 mg/l (chapter E-2.1.).
A blending valve for mixing supply water is also needed.
The system is adjusted to the soft water requirements to be
expected at the installation site, it is not suitable for major
deviations. The maximum continuous flow must not be exceeded
under any circumstances.
The system may only be operated if all components are installed
properly. Safety devices and equipment must NEVER be
removed, bridged or tampered with.
Appropriate application of the device also implies that the
information contained in this operation manual and all safety
guidelines applying at the installation site be observed. Further-
more, the maintenance and inspection intervals have to be
observed.
4 | Application limits
The application limit is defined by the maximum continuous flow
corresponding to the data in tables C-1 and C-2 for raw water in
the hardness ranges 1 - 3. With very hard water (from hardness
range 4 onwards), there may be a drop in the continuous flow.
In this case, the application limit of the system is defined by the
formula:

The time capacity is summarised in tables C-1 or C-2.
