Note: All calculations are based on a salt dosage setting at 120g/l of resin. The softener
installation takes into account a pre-filter made of a 10” filter housing (Pentair ref.
150543) and a 10” 100micron Wound cartridge (Pentair ref. WWP100P10).
* Indicative data. Maximum flow rate to produce in order to respect the required service
velocity for an optimal ion exchange upon resin manufacturers recommendation,
regardless of the inlet pressure.
** Values may vary upon local condition and programming. All consumptions are given
for an inlet pressure of 3.44 bar (50 psi).
GENERAL PRECAUTIONS
Before you begin installation, read the entire manual. Gather
all materials and tools needed. Improper installation voids
warranty.
WARNING
Do not use with water that is microbiologically
unsafe or of unknown quality without adequate
disinfection before or after the softener.
WARNING
SODIUM INFORMATION: Water softeners using
sodium chloride for regeneration will add sodium
to the water. Persons who are on sodium-
restricted diets should consider the added
sodium as part of their overall sodium intake.
NOTE: Sodium Chloride or Potassium Chloride are
recommended for regeneration.
NOTE: The efficiency of this softener shall be valid only at the
stated salt dosage calculation is made on 120g.
RECOMMENDATION: We recommend that a qualified plumber
be contracted to make all difficult piping installations.
CAUTION:
Softener must be protected against freezing, which
can cause cracking of the softener and water
leakage.
CAUTION:
Do not treat water over 43°C because hot water
will damage the softener and void warranty.
CAUTION:
Locate the softener within 500 cm of drain.
Drain must be capable of handling a maximum
backwash flow rate of 19 liters of water per minute.
PRE-INSTALLATION CHECKLIST
Installation by a licensed plumber is recommended.
1. Valves, grounding straps, wire, clamps and wall pipe, are
not supplied with the water softener.
NOTE: Ball or globe valves are recommended.
2. Electrical Requirements: AC 220V, 50 or 60HZ current
supply is required.
CAUTION:
Make certain the electrical supply cannot be turned
off accidentally.
3. Location of Softener and Drain: We recommend that the
softener be installed on a sound plumbing system within
500 cm from the drain.
NOTE: Outside faucet should be bypassed and left on
hard water.
4. Bypass Valves: Bypass valves allow you to turn off the
water to your unit but not the water service to your home.
Figure 2
5. Pre-Filtration: To prevent your softener from incoming
sediment and iron particles we recommend the installation
of a pre-filter on the water line going to the unit
INSTALLATION
RECOMMENDATION: We recommend that a qualified plumber
be contracted to make all difficult piping installations.
1. SHUT OFF FUEL SUPPLY TO WATER HEATER. See
manufacturer’s instructions.
2. Shut off all water at main supply valve.
3. Open faucet nearest pump or water meter to relieve
pressure and drain system.
CAUTION:
The water filter system should be installed
with the inlet, outlet and drain connections
made in accordance with the manufacturer’s
recommendations and to meet applicable
plumbing codes.
4.
Set the water filter in place.Place in a firm concrete floor or
slab base. Be sure unit is reasonably level.
NOTE: Do not shim the tank directly for leveling. If
necessary to shim, fabricate a platform base to
set the tank on and then shim under the platform
base.
5. Shut off the water to the home. Open the highest faucet
in the plumbing system and then the lowest (you cannot
work on pipes with water in them). Make necessary piping
changes for connection of the filter to the plumbing of the
home (see Figure 5).EVOLIO-560 softeners are suplied
with 1”BSP connection
6. It is highly recommended that the bypass valve accessory
be installed
Make certain the untreated water piping connects to
the control valve on the right and the softened water is
connected on the left (Figure 4).
Figure 4
7. Connect the inlet and outlet piping. The valve connection
threads are 1” BSP. Be sure you have the incoming water
connected to the right side (Figure 4).
NOTE: Do not use pipe joint compound or plumber’s
putty on the backplate threads. Use only Teflon
®
Tape.
NOTE: Do not over-tighten fitting to backplate.
8. Make certain proper piping alignment is maintained. Do
not apply heat to any fitting connected to the conditioner or
damage to the valve may occur.
9.
Move conditioner into position and level. Check all
connections for tightness.
CAUTION:
To prevent water leaks, connections to softener
must be straight when the tank is leveled
CAUTION:
Review Drain Requirements section before
connecting drainlines.
10. Carefully attach valve drain line to drain on the back of the
valve.
CAUTION:
Do not raise drain line over 2m from floor
Out
In
Yoke
CAUTION:
Maximum allowable inlet water pressure is
8 Bars if daytime pressure is around 8 Bars,
nighttime pressure may exceed the maximum.
Use a pressure-reducing valve if necessary. Use a
pressure-reducing valve if necessary.
NOTE: Handle softener with care. Do not turn upside down,
drop, or set on sharp objects.
NOTE: The valve requires a minimum inlet pressure of 2 Bar
at 1.2 m
3
/h.
NOTE: If you are on a private well system, check minimum
water pressure with an accurate gauge. (Gauges on
older water systems are often inaccurate). Pressure
that is less than 2 Bar may cause low flow rate and
inadequate regeneration, but depending by the
pressure droop of the system.
CAUTION:
When connecting your unit, take note that the
inlet, outlet, and drain connections are made in
accordance with state and local plumbing codes.
CAUTION:
Do not over-tighten pipe to piping boss.
CAUTION:
Due to some homes using piping as a source of
electrical grounding, a grounding strap must be
installed where required.
CAUTION:
Do not heat piping if it is in contact with the control
valve.
NOTE: Do not put excessive force on the inlet/outlet drain
connections of the control valve.
NOTE: Do not use pipe joint compound or plumber’s putty
when threading pipe into the piping boss. Use only
Teflon
®
Tape.
WARNING
Do not use any chemical substance (out off
suggested in Pg. 6) to clean resin or softener
component with out the approval of the producer
Electrical Precautions
WARNING
The unit must be plugged into an outlet.
WARNING
Do not use any extension cords.
WARNING
Locate cord where it cannot be accidentally
unplugged or cause any bodily harm.
WARNING
Electrical components are not waterproof.
CAUTION:
Make sure power source matches the rating on
the unit.
CAUTION:
Make certain the electrical supply cannot be
turned off accidentally.
NOTE: The outlet you select must not be controlled by a wall
switch.
