6.1. OPERATION OF THE WATER SOFTENER
6. OPERATION
The water softening system requires adding salt tablets to the brine tank. Demand for salt depends on total hardness of raw water
and also on average water consumption.
The system requires systematic, periodic regeneration. This requires appropriate volume of water for medium washing or brining.
Depending on the device size, these values will vary.
NOTE: Any modifications made by the User or the Installer not authorised by the manufacturer,
will result in the loss of the warranty and often cause malfunctioning.
6.2. GENERAL INFORMATION
In order to ensure long-term and trouble-free operation of the system, maintenance must be carried out at regular intervals and
a record of the performed activities must be kept.
In the case of signing a service contract with the supplier, the supplier takes over responsibility for carrying out regular system
maintenance.
6.3. LIST OF REQUIREMENTS FOR PROPER FUNCTIONING
Proper work of the device depends on:
•
Correct connection of the device according to the User Manual,
•
Use of a pre-filter,
•
Appropriate quality of feed water, in particular in terms of iron content, manganese content, turbidity, pH value,
chlorides and microbial content,
•
Appropriate working conditions of the device – working pressure within required limits, temperature within required
limits, low humidity in the room, protection against atmospheric factors (sunlight, precipitation, etc.),
•
Pressure in the device should not rise above the maximum operating pressure or drop below 0 bar atmospheric
pressure (vacuum),
•
Supplying electrical power with the correct voltage and frequency according to national standards,
•
Ensuring adequate passability and throughput for removing washings into the sewage system,
•
Commissioning the device according to the User Manual,
•
Entering a value of hardness of raw water in the device controller,
•
Correct use according to the User Manual,
•
Closing the emergency bypass of the device,
•
Regular salt refills and replacement of cartridges in a mechanical water filter.
6.4. USER OPERATING ACTIVITIES
The user must perform the following operating activities:
•
Regular replacement of a pre-filter cartridge (depending on a degree of soiling, but not less frequently than every 6
months),
•
Replenishment of salt tablets in the salt container,
•
Monitoring malfunctions (e.g. alarm display on the controller, large amount of water in the salt container, no salt
consumption, leaks, poor quality of treated water).
