11. Salt usage
As your water softener
uses a proportional brining system, more frequent regenerations do not necessarily
mean high water / salt usage.
12. Increase in number or residents
Sudden changes in your water usage should not affect your water softeners
performance. If however, the number of guests staying with you increases, you will
notice that the water usage patterns will alter. This may cause your water softener to
regenerate more often that normal. As the water usage returns to its normal level, the
number of regenerations will also return to normal.
Your water softener is controlled by a microprocessor which constantly monitors water
usage. The system will build up a history of your water requirements and calculate the
most economical regeneration pattern. This will ensure a constant supply of softened
water whilst maintaining high levels of water and salt efficiency.
13. Cabinet Water Level
During normal operation the water level inside the water softener cabinet will rise and fall
as required by the regeneration process. If the water softener is used within the specified
operational parameters the water level should not reach the overflow connection. If
however an overflow situation occurs please refer to the troubleshooting section on page
13 to diagnose the problem.
Following any overflow situation reduce the water level by half and initiate a manual
regeneration as described on page 11.
NB: Check the water level weekly and following any unplanned event, e.g. power
failure.

Connect a pressure gauge to a
water outlet and check the pressure
is between 1.7 - 5.0 bar.

10. Manual regeneration ( button)
Under normal operating conditions your water softener will regenerate automatically and
you should not normally have to regenerate the unit manually. If however a manual
regeneration is required then follow the procedure set out below.
1. Press any key to illuminate the display.
2. Momentarily pressing the
button (symbol underneath the display and furthest to
the right) will illuminate Recharge Tonight on the display and perform a regeneration at
2.00a.m. regardless of the remaining water softener capacity.
I3. If the
button is subsequently pressed, this will clear the Recharge Tonight
indicator from the display and cancel the Recharge Tonight feature.
4. If the
is pressed down for six seconds, the controller will flash the Recharge
display and immediately commence the regeneration cycle which cannot be cancelled
once started.
