Read water pressure, flow pressure and water meter reading. 

 

Determine hardness: 
raw water hardness, soft water hardness, 0 °dH (0 °f, 0 mmol/l) test. 

 

If necessary, readjust blending valve and check soft water hardness 
again. 

 

Adjust the electronics settings subject to the measured hardness values. 

 

Check the programming at the control unit. 

 

Check brine control (salting, filling of brine tank). 

 

Check release of regeneration. 

 

Check start of turbine water meter.  

 

Check control valve for proper functioning and tightness, replace 
wearing seals, if necessary; lubricate the pair of disks with grease, if 
necessary; check function of drive motors of control valve, clean in-
jector and sieve.  

 

Clean brine tank and brine valve. 

 

Check regeneration salt supply (volume and quality – no clumping). 

 

Check hose connections and seals and replace, if necessary.

 

Attention: 

Danger of water damage! Damaged or worn hose connec-

tions may tear.  
Therefore, DIN 1988, part 8 and paragraph A 12

 

recommends to replace 

the flexible connection hoses after two years. 

 

 

 

 

Functional check of the disinfection unit.   

 

If necessary, read regeneration counter, total quantity of soft water, 
error memory. 

 

If necessary, reset maintenance interval. 

 

Enter all data and work performed, including repair work, in the op-
eration log. 

 

Turn the system and the filled-in operation log over to the operator. 

Warning!

 Risk of infection due to germ-infested drinking water. In 

stagnating water, the amount of germs may increase to an unacceptable 
level. Therefore, pay particular attention to hygiene when working on 
water softeners and disinfect the system, if necessary.
