CAUTION!
The waste water system must be at least DN50!
Use only the flexible DN20 hoses included in the
delivery. Ensure a correct sealing and setting of all
pipes before first commissioning.
CAUTION!
The rinse water hose and the hose on the safety
overflow of the brine tank need to be mounted acc.
to EN 1717 and EN 14743 with at least 20 mm
distance (free outflow) to the highest possible
drainage water level.
CAUTION!
Drainage from the overflow of the brine tank should
always be connected. Drain connections according
to standard EN 1717.
Protection of device: To increase the lifetime of your
softener ensure it is kept in a clean, dry place with an
ambient temperature between 5 and 40 °C to avoid
damage to resin or components.
3.6 Installing your softener
1.
Positioning the water softener:
It is very important to establish the supply water pressure
before installing the water softener.
If the supply water pressure is low then the water softener
may not operate effectively.
If it is too high, then components inside the unit may be
damaged.
It should be noted that supply water pressure can increase at
periods of low water usage e.g. overnight.
If therefore, the daytime pressure exceeds 8.0 bar or if you
are unsure about pressure, then a pressure reducing valve
should be fitted.
Where the pressure is less than 1.0 bar a booster pump may
be required.
2.
Inlet and outlet connections:
With the bypass valve open and the inlet/outlet valves closed
the unit can be connected to the plumbing system.
Arrows on the inlet and outlet piping from the valve will
confirm the direction of flow.
Connections can be made with either, conventional copper
tube and fittings, or the high flow flexible hoses supplied,
ensure hoses are not kinked as this may restrict flow.
3.
Drain connection:
Push the flexible drain hose onto the barbed connector
(Drain) as shown in chapter and secure with the clip
provided.
Run the drain hose to a stand pipe or to a drain.
The drain water hose needs to be mounted with at least 20
mm distance (free outflow) to the highest possible drainage
water level.
Softened water will have no adverse effect on a septic tank.
You can extend the drain up to 9 m (horizontal) if you have
sufficient pressure (greater than 3 bar).
The drain hose must not be kinked or restricted in any way as
this will cause an overflow from the brine cabinet.
Frost protection:
If the drain hose or connecting pipework is likely to be subject
to temperatures below 0 °C it must be protected to prevent
freezing.
Failure to observe this precaution could lead to the water
softener overflowing.
Raising the drain hose:
If you have a water pressure of 3 bar or more, you can raise
the drain to a maximum of 3 metres above the valve head.
4.
Overflow connections:
The hose of the safety overflow (not supplied with the
softener) should be connected to the push fit elbow at the rear
of the cabinet (see 3.5 Technical overview of device). It needs
to be mounted with at least 20 mm distance (free outflow) to
the highest possible drainage water level.
Run the pipe downhill to the drainage.
If the water softener is fitted in a cellar or basement, the
overflow can be run to a storage tank. Do not elevate the
overflow hose.
5.
Electrical connections:
For added safety, peace of mind and ease of installation, your
water softener is powered by low voltage via a plug in
transformer.
6.
Filling the brine cabinet, salt- usage:
Now place the water softener salt in the brine cabinet.
Use the tablet salt (care cubes) from your local dealer.
Notes on salt usage: Your water softener will only perform
effectively if there is salt in the brine cabinet during the
regeneration process.
It is therefore essential that the salt level does not fall lower
than 15 cm in depth when measured from the base of the
brine cabinet.
The softener requires no priming, add no water to the brine
tank.
During regeneration, salt will not enter your water system as
the salt used in the regeneration process is rinsed safely
away to drain.
7.
Blending control:
All machines are factory set to produce water that is soft.
