5. Installation

5.1 Basic prequisites for operating the Water-

Line softener device

The following requirements must be met for operating the Water-
Line softener device:

Electrical connection requires on-site fusing and must not 
be interrupted at any time (connection to branch circuit not 
permissable)

Minimum flow pressure must be 2.5 bar

Maximum flow pressure must not exceed 7.0 bar. Opti-
mum is 4.0 bar

Temperatur in operating room must be between 5 °C and 
40 °C

R.h. in operating room must not exceed 60 percent

The drain provided by customer must be a free outlet 
according to EN DIN 1717 

The operating room must be sufficiently ventilated, must 
allow for the floor loading introduced by the  WaterLine 
softener device and feature a floor gully. 

5.2 Selecting the correct installation location of

the Waterline softener device within the
house installation scenario

If  no mounting block is used, the house installation tubing 
must be cut at a suitable spot (downstream of the pressure 
reducer, if applicable) and the Waterline softener device 
must be inserted

 

For insertion of a mounting block approx. 300 mm of free 
tubing is required

Should a water filter not be installed yet, another 300 to 
400 mm of free tubing for installation of a filter must be 
considered
