5.1 CONDITIONS FOR THE CORRECT
WORKING OF THE EQUIPMENT
• Do not use hot water in the system
(T>35ºC).
•
The ambient temperature must be
between 4 ºC and 35 ºC.
• The system should be installed in a
dry environment, free of acid vapours.
Otherwise, please ensure a proper
ventilation.
• Water to be treated must be properly
filtered, therefore, it is recommended
that a pre-filter is installed to guarantee
the removal of suspended particles,
which may be swept along by inlet
water.
Failure to install an appropriate
filter would result in particles
obstructing the inner holes or injectors
of the system, thus affecting its proper
operation.
• A minimum pressure of 2.5 bars must
be ensured. Should this minimum
pressure not be available, a pressure
system must be installed.
• If inlet pressure is higher than 5.5 bars,
a pressure regulator must be installed.
5.2 INSTALLATION OF THE SYSTEM
If the water softener must treat the whole
water supply, connect it to the general
supply pipe before connecting the rest
of the pipes, except for pipes supplying
the outside. Taps located outside the
house must supply hard water. Due to
the sodium increase in softened water,
it is not recommended to use it for
watering, since it can negatively affect
the growth of plants and vegetables.
In the event of modifying the home/
workplace in order to install the
equipment in the planned location,
it should be done following national
guidelines for interior installations of
water and electric supply.
The installation location should have
sufficient space for the machine itself, its
accessories, connections and room for
servicing and repair. The system should
not be installed next to a heat source or
where it receives a direct flow of hot air.
The drain connection, where water from
regeneration will be driven, must be
underneath the installation if possible.
The drain connection must always
have a free outlet. The diameter of this
connection must have a minimum size
of 1”. The maximum distance between
the water softener and the drain intake
cannot be higher than 6m.

Raising the drain intake above the water
softener level is not recommended, since
it can affect the brine suction and, thus,
impair the regeneration process.
In the event that this is deemed essential,
it can be raised a maximum of 1.5m,
provided that the inlet pressure is higher
than 4 bar.
If the height is greater or there is
not enough pressure, contact your
distributor. Under no circumstances
should the equipment be
installed outdoors. The environment
where the equipment is to be installed
should adhere to any appropriate
hygiene and sanitation conditions.
Avoid any external dripping liquids
from pipes, wastewater, etc. onto the
equipment.
Should softened water be supplied to a
hot water or vapour generator, it will be
necessary to install a dependable check
valve between the water softener and
the generator, in order to prevent hot
water from returning to the system and
damaging it.
The existing pipelines must not have
deposits of either iron or limescale.
Replace all pipelines containing a great
amount of iron or limescale deposits.
