User’s manual
It is very important to carry out the sanitation and des-
caling tasks separately, since the chemical products used
for this purpose could have a bad reaction when mixed.
The sanitation and descaling tasks must be carried out by
turns, according to the indicated frequency.
Salt refilling:
The salt level in the tank must be frequenly checked.
The minimum salt level must be kept, which corres-
ponds to the half of the tank volume. If salt runs down
before filling it up again, the sysstem will produce hard
water. After the verification, check that the salt cover is
properly closed.
ATTENTION: for humid areas, it is recommended
to keep a lower salt level, filling it up more fre-
quenly.
Only use salt manufactured for use in water softeners.
The use of block salt is not recommended. DO NOT USE
ROCK OR GRANULAR SALT in your system. They con-
tain impuries that can interface with performance and
could invalidate the Limited Warranty.
How to break a salt bridge:
Sometimes it is possible that a salt bridge builds up insi-
de the salt tank. This is due to a high level of humidity or
to the use of an inappropriate salt. When there is a salt
bridge, there is an empty space left between water and
salt which prevents it from dissolving. This means that
the water softener will not regenerate properly and so,
it will supply hard water.
If the tank is full of salt is difficult to know whether
there is a salt bridge, since the salt on the surface may
seem loose, even if the lower part is solid. In order to
check the existence of a salt bridge, take a long rigid
tool (e.g. a boom handle) and keep it next to the water
softener to measure the distance from the floor up to
the salt edge. Then put the tool in the salt. If there is
a hard object, it may be a salt bridge.Carrefully apply
some pressure on several places until it beaks.
ATTENTION: do not use sharp or pointed objects,
since they could damage the water softener tank.
Sanitation: it is recommended to carry out a sanitzing
process once per year, as indicated below.
1. Open the cover of the salt tank and pour between 20
to 30 ml (2 or 3 caps) of household, unscented bleach
inside the brine chimney. Close it again.
2. Check that the by-pass valve is in to the drain.
3. The disinfection process will be carried out after the
regeneration and the disinfecting solution will be sent
to the drain.
Anti-scalling:
Once a year is recommended to make a regeneration
using “CLEANSOFTENER“, a chemical product specially
conceived for softening resin cleaning and also remo-
ving possible limescales into the internal parts of the
softener.
ATTENTION: follow the usage instructions shown
into the CHEMICALSOFTENER label.
System stopped for a long time:
A full regeneration must be started if the water softe-
ner has been out of service for more than 96h.
If the equipment will not be used for a long time (holi-
days, second homes, etc.), it is recommended to carry
out a full regeneration process before putting it back
into service (according to the instructions of this ma-
nual).
