2. Positioning the water softener
Please measure your water softener to ensure that it will fit
into the area you are placing the unit into.
PLEASE remember to include additional space for
connecting pipe work in your calculations along with the
regular access that is needed for topping the unit up with salt
and future service.
Where possible, the distance of both the incoming water
supply and nearest drain should be kept to a minimum.
Two metres is an ideal distance, however, longer distances
are permissible, dependant on the incoming water pressure.
Please remember the weight of your new water softener will
considerably increase once installed and filled with salt.
Therefore, please ensure your chosen location is strong
enough to support an approximate total weight of (see table).
Your new water softener has been designed to operate
efficiently and effectively with an incoming water pressure of
between 1.0 to 8.0 bar.
If your water supply is likely to fall outside these limits, then
we would recommend that a booster pump or pressure
reducing valve should be fitted respectively.
Important - Never install the water softener where it, or its
connections (including the drain overflow lines), will be
subject to temperatures under 5 °C or above 40 °C.
If you are planning to install the water softener above ground
level e.g.
In the loft the following instructions should be strictly adhered
to.
3.
Loft installation
The water softener should be installed within a container of
not less than 100 litre capacity, to which there should be
connected an overflow pipe of not less than 20 mm diameter.
The overflow should be connected at the bottom of the
container and not less than 15 mm below the height of any
electrical components mounted on the water softener.
It is recommended that an anti-vacuum valve be fitted to the
inlet pipework supplying the water softener.
4.
Plumbing systems
There are several types of plumbing systems in common use:
For 15 mm pipework (e.g.Static Head systems) use the
reducing bushes to fit the multiblock.
5.
Backflow prevention device
When fitted to the supply feeding a single dwelling, a check
valve complying with national regulations must be fitted on
the cold water feed prior to the installation.
All other types of installation require the fitting of a double
check valve.
6.
Drinking water
Your water softener installation must include at least one
drinking water tap that is not fed by the water softener.
Observe: In case of low sodium diet follow the local
“department of health‘s“ advice concerning the use of
softened water for drinking.
Note: Water that is used for mixing powdered milk for babies
must only be taken from an up-softened mains tap as
some powdered milks and softened water both contain
sodium for which young babies have a limited tolerance.
7. Reference Data for Hardness Adjustment
Please test the water hardness and refer to 4.3 Setting the
hardness of blended water.
The specific hardness conversion chart for capacity is listed
in the last column.
