3.4 Installation Layout
The diagram on page 15 shows a standard
installation layout utilising individual inlet, outlet and
bypass valves. Your softener may be supplied with
a Uniconnect simple softener connection device for
use in place of the inlet, outlet and bypass valves
Standard Installation using Uniconnect.
Standard Installation using Uniconnect
The uniconnect enables the efficient installation of
your softener and allows the user to easily bypass
the softener with a single operation of the uniconnect
valve, isolating the softener for routine maintenance
work to be carried out, whilst maintaining a water
supply (unsoftened) to the property.
Operation
To interrupt the softened water supply and place the
softener in bypass, turn the main handwheel on the
uniconnect clockwise to the lower stop position (fully
closed). In this position the uniconnect is in bypass
and the small sample tap can be used to take a
water sample of the mains supply water.
To resume operation, turn the main handwheel
on the multiblock anticlockwise to the upper stop
position (fully open). In this position the softener is in
operation and the small sample tap can be used to
take a sample of the treated water supply.
BATTERY POWER OPTIONS
For your convenience your Perla Silk Water Softener
has been supplied with a power transformer suitable
to your local utility supply and for best performance
this should be used to power your softener. However
should a mains power supply be unavailable in the
installation location the softener can be powered by
2 alternative battery options:
1) 8 C Cell domestic battery box
2) Rechargeable Lithium ION Power Bank
The C Cell battery box may be included with some
softener models as an option. If you require either
of these battery options please contact BWT UK
Customer Services for prices and availability of
these optional accessories.
