with softened water.
If using a wat er softening system, we reco mmend diluting the
softened water with normal tap water to produce an overall hard-
ness between 4-8°dH. This value can be set lower if the water
does not foam.
When blending sof tened water wi th deionized water (condu cti-
vity = 5-20 µS / cm) it is to ensure that the mixture neither foams
nor is too low in conductivity.
When feed water contains softened water, the level of conductiv-
ity is typ ically higher at operating temperatu re. Install a Hygro-
Matik "cylinder star" to extend the service life of the electrodes.
6.2 Water Supply
» Install a shut-off valve (SV) in the supply line.
» Install a water filter (WF) if water quality requires it.
Note: Shut-off valve (SV) and wate r filter (WF) are not supplied
with the unit
» HygroMatik provides a water hose (56) with a cap nut at
both ends which can be used for water installation.
Install as follows:
» Screw and tighten the cap nut with its inner seal ring
around the water supply screw connection that pro-
trudes from the base.
Note: T ightening to o much will destroy the fitting . The va lve
