Observe all applicable installation regulations, general guidelines, hygiene
requirements and technical specifications.
Water softeners may not be installed in water supply systems that provide
water for fire extinguishing purposes.
The pipeline network must be flushed before the unit can be installed.
The hard water to be fed into the unit must always meet the specifications
of the German Drinking Water Ordinance [“Trinkwasserverordnung”]
or EU Directive 98/83/EC. The total dissolved iron and manganese may
not exceed 0.1 mg/l. The hard water to be fed into the unit must always be
free of air bubbles. Install a bleed device if necessary.
Continuous operation of the water softener with water containing chlorine
or chlorine dioxide is possible if the concentration of free chlorine/ chlorine
dioxide does not exceed 0.5 mg/l.
However, continuous operation with water containing chlorine/chlorine
dioxide causes the ion exchange resin to age prematurely. A water sof-
tener reduces the concentration of free chlorine and chlorine dioxide. In
other words, the concentration in the outflow of a water softener is gen-
erally considerably lower than in the inflow.
The unit should be sized in such a way that regeneration is necessary at
least once a day based upon the throughput. If water consumption is
reduced, e.g. during holidays, a shut-off device must be fully opened for
at least 5 minutes before water can be used again.
Use corrosion-resistant pipe materials for installation. Pay attention to
corrosion-causing chemical properties when different pipe materials are
combined (mixed installation), even in the direction of flow upstream of
the softening unit.
A protective filter must be installed in the direction of flow no further than
1 m
1 m
1 m
1 m
1 m upstream from the softening unit. The filter must be functional before
the softening unit is installed. This is the only way to ensure that dirt and
corrosive products do not enter the water softener.
You must check whether a mineral substance metering device needs to be
installed downstream from the water softener for the purpose of preventing
corrosion.
When installing the water softener, select a location where the unit can easily
be connected to the water supply network. A connection to the sewage
system (at least DN 50), a floor drain and a separate power supply (230 V
/ 50 Hz) must be located in the immediate vicinity.
The emission of interference (voltage peaks, high-frequency electromagnetic
fields, interference voltages, voltage fluctuations, etc.) by the surrounding
electrical systems may not exceed the maximum values specified in EN
61000-6-4.
The rated mains power (230 V / 50 Hz) and the required operating pressure
must be present at all times. A separate means of protection against a
shortage of water is not provided and must be installed on site if desired.
If no floor drain and/or structural waterproofing compliant with DIN 18195-5
is present, a separate safety device (e.g. a hydrostop) must be used.
The installation site must be protected against frost and provide protection
against chemicals, paints, solvents, fumes and excessive ambient tem-
peratures.
If the softened water is intended for human consumption as defined in the
German Drinking Water Ordinance [“Trinkwasserverordnung”], the ambi-
ent temperature must not exceed 25°C.

Note: In accordance with DIN EN 1717, the flushing water and
overflow hoses must be connected at least 20 mm above the highest possible
waste water level (unimpeded drainage).
If flushing water is fed into a pump, it must be designed for a water volume of
at least 2 m

/h or 35 l/min. If the pump is used for other units concurrently, it
must be of a larger size to suit the units’ water output volumes.
The pump must be salt-water resistant.
