2 | Inspection (functional check) 

 

You may perform the regular inspections yourself.  

 

Fig. H-1: Determine the hard-
ness 

 

Determine the raw and soft water hardness  
(water test kit „total hardness“). 

 

Check the settings at the control unit: 
a) Time 
b) Raw water hardness 

 

Check the salt level in the brine tank, respect the minimum salt filling 
level (refer to marking line at brine tank funnel). If necessary, refill salt 
tablets. 

 

Check salt quality – salt must not be clumped together. If necessary, 
remedy clumping by means of an appropriate tool. 

 

Fig. H-2: Marking line at brine tank funnel 

 

 

 

 

Evaluate the salt consumption subject to the water volume consumed. 

Note: 

Minor deviations are normal and cannot be prevented technically. 

If you detect major deviations, please contact the technical customer 
service. 

 

 

 

 

Check tightness of control valve towards the drain (in operating 
mode without regeneration process).
