Water Softener IV
4.2 PERIODIC REGENERATION (fig. 5)
• Position 2 (DEPRESSURIZATION MODE)
1) Turn the valve handle on number 2. Loosen the cover han-
dle (fig. 2, F) and wait until depressurization.
2) Remove the lid (fig. 2, G) and add the required quantity of
salt according to the model (see the table at paragraph 2.6)
• Cleaning
Clean the lid and the seal (fig. 5, cleaning) from any salt re-
sidue.
Clean the upper part of the water softener from any salt resi-
due and clean the tank and under the cover of the weld joint
of any leaked salt water.
The manufacturer does not take responsibility for the
corrosion of the tank caused by the failure to follow the-
se instructions.
3) Put the lid back on (fig. 2, G) and tighten the cover handle
(fig. 2, F) safely.
• Position 3 (RINSING MODE)
4) Turn the valve handle on number 3.
5) Let the salt water come out from the drain pipe until the
water is fresh (around 40 minutes)
• Position 4 (BACKWASH CLEANING MODE)
6) Turn the valve handle on number 4 and wait for 30 se-
conds (during the backwash mode, the water softener does
not supply water)
• Position 1 (SERVICE MODE)
7) Put the valve handle back on number 1, service mode.
WARNING: during the regeneration, the machine con-
nected to the water softener is supplied with non-softe-
ned water.
4.3 MIXER CONTROL
The mixer (fig. 2, mixer) is composed of a screw. By gradually
loosening the screw, the equipment leaves a residue of hard-
ness in the exiting water.
The more you loosen the screw, the more hardness it leaves.
This operation must be performed with care. At the end of the
operation, it is necessary to check the hardness levels.
Attention: the hardness levels in the water must be periodical-
ly checked by the installer.
5. MAINTENANCE FOR THE INSTALLER:
5.1 CHANGING THE RESINS
The resins’ softening capacity ends after 5-7 years. This pe-
riod can change based on the characteristic of the feed water
and the quantity of softened water.
After this period of time, the user needs to decide if it is enou-
gh to change the resins or if it is better to change the water
softener itself.
To change the resins it is necessary to turn the valve handle
on number 2 (fig. 4). Wait a few seconds until tank depres-
surization.
When water stops coming out of the drain, move the plastic
blocks outwards (fig. 4, A). It will then be possible to detach
the valve from the tank (fig. 4, B)
Bring the tank to an appropriate place to change the resins
and clean the interior of the tank.
Open the lid (fig. 2, G) and change the resins.
Do not throw the resins in the sewers.
The resins are not biodegradable and must be considered a
non-hazardous waste (EU code CER 190905).
After changing the resins, clean the lid seal and the upper part
of the softener from any resin residue.
Close the lid and attach the valve to the tank.
Close the blocks and turn the handle on number 4 (fig. 5).
Let the water flow from the drain pipe until it is clean.
Turn the handle back on number 1.
5.2 RESIN PRESERVATION AND ACTIVATION AFTER
A LONG PERIOD OF INACTIVITY
If the water softener is not to be used for more than 30 days,
it is necessary to do a double regeneration first and then leave
the water softener with the lid (fig. 2, G) closed.
We suggest avoiding a period of inactivity longer than 12
months. It is forbidden to reactivate the system after this pe-
riod of inactivity.
If the period of inactivity is shorter than 12 months, it is ne-
cessary to rinse the resins and do a manual regeneration
(paragraph 4.1 and 4.2) before reactivating the equipment.
6. IMPROPER USE OF THE EQUIPMENT
This equipment has been created to soften drinking water for
domestic and technological use. The equipment must not be
used for any other purpose and it must not be modified or
tampered with in any way.
Any other use than the one specified in this manual is impro-
per and therefore dangerous.
The manufacturer cannot be considered responsible for any
damage caused by improper, mistaken or illogical use of the
equipment.
• It is forbidden to feed the equipment with any liquid other
than drinking water.
• It is forbidden to introduce in the tank any products other
than salt (NaCl).
7. EQUIPMENT DISPOSAL
Any waste must be disposed of according to the applicable
norms.
The water softener was built with non-hazardous materials
like polymers and stainless steel, and they must be disposed
of according to the applicable norms.
Do not throw the resins in the sewer.
The resins are not biodegradable. They are classified as
non-hazardous waste, and must be disposed of accordingly
(EU code CER 190905).
