9. Cautions
1. Without reading and understanding the contents of this user manual, DO NOT perform any operations on the
control valve.
2. Strictly prohibit a leaning position when shipping, installing and using this product as this could cause damage.
3. During the regeneration, water from the tap will NOT be softened. It is NOT recommended to use water during
regeneration; otherwise a negative effect on the regeneration result will occur.
4. Initiate a regeneration cycle when the softener has been inactive for a long period of time and then turn on the
tap for several minutes before resuming normal use.
5. Do not disconnect power during service to prevent timer distribution.
6. If water usage or hardness of raw water dramatically increases (compared to the normal usage), then the frequency
of regeneration should increase.
7. Hot water could cause severe damage to the softener system, for water boiler and water heaters users, ensure the
total-run of the piping between the softener and the boiler is not less than 3 metres. It is recommended to install
a check valve between the filter and the boiler if unable to meet the required piping length.
8. The input water pressure must be between 2-8 bar.
9. No chemicals should be present at the inlet and outlet connecting sectors.
10. Besides the system, spare part connection materials are not included in the scope of the manufacturer’s warranty.
11. The required environmental temperature for a softener is 1-42°C. Outside these parameters may cause the
softener to malfunction.
12. Do not apply pressure to the softener.
13. Indoor installation is preferred. Avoid exposure to direct sunlight, radiation from other heating sources and avoid
extreme weather conditions including rain and snow.
14. Use salt granules or tablets designed for softeners.
15. No tools should be used for connecting the plastic parts as over tightening or excessive force could result in
damage.
16. If necessary use food grade silica sealant for lubricating rubber O-rings.
17. Only qualified personnel should adjust or remove the adaptor locking clips on the reverse of the valve, as this can
tamper with the valve settings. Should this be required pressure must firstly be discharged from inside the water
softener.
