1. PRESENTATION
The Ergo water treatment equipment you
have purchased is a high performance
hydraulic countercurrent water softener
that will provide you and your family
with high quality softened water.
Lime or water hardness may cause
problems in pipes and affect the proper
functioning of the equipment using that
water, thus increasing its maintenance
and reducing its service life. This reality
has prompted us to design this domestic
water softening product, which has
been specially conceived to protect
the plumbing installation in your home
against the scaling effects.
Your Ergo water softener will provide
you and your family the benefits and
advantages outlined below:
• Energy savings.
• Greater feeling of well-being.
• Increases the life of electrical appliances.
•
Cost savings: it reduces the
consumption of soap, fabric softeners
and chemical products.
• Low maintenance cost.
• Automatic control of the equipment.
It is very important that you read
and keep this manual before the
installation and start-up of the system. If
you have any questions regarding the
use or maintenance of this system,
please contact your installer.
