Water softeners of the series WINNI-mat
®
VGX are designed for the sof-
tening and partial softening of cold drinking and process water. In case of
single systems, only raw water is available during the regeneration
phase.
Note
: In case of unfavourable flow conditions / installation situations,
the water supply by means of the bypass may result in flow noises.
The water to be softened has to be free of iron and manganese (less
than 0.2 mg iron resp. 0.05 mg manganese per litre). Based on VDI
6023. If the softened water is intended for human consumption as per the
German Drinking Water Ordinance, the ambient temperature must not
exceed 25 °C. In case of solely technical applications, the ambient tem-
perature must not exceed 40 °C. The systems are suitable for (partial)
softening of drinking and process water.
Note
: For the softening to < 1°dH (1.78 °f, 0.178 mmol/l), only VGX 14-
H is suitable.
The stipulations of the Drinking Water Act are compulsory for the sof-
tening of drinking water (raw water); 200 mg/l of sodium ions (refer to
chapter E, pos. 3) not to be exceeded. This requires a blending valve
for the addition of inlet water.
The system is adjusted to the soft water requirements to be expected at
the installation site, it is not suitable for major deviations.
The system may only be operated if all components are installed
properly. Safety devices must NEVER be removed, bridged or other-
wise tampered with.
Appropriate application of the system also implies that the information
contained in this operating manual and all safety guidelines applying at
the installation site be observed. Furthermore, the maintenance and
inspection intervals have to be observed.
