Prior to Fitting Your Water Softener
This softener must be Protected from frost and freezing.
Check you have sufficient water mains pressure. This should be:
Minimum operation pressure: 1.5 Bar
Maximum operating pressure: 6 Bar
With an optimum operation pressure of about: 3 Bar
Maximum operating temperature must not be above: 20
o
C, with a minimum operating temperature of
above freezing:
You can contact your local water authority for your areas mains water pressure. As a rule of thumb, if
you open the kitchen sink cold water tap fully and water splashes everywhere, the pressure could be
too high and if you can easily stop the flow with your thumb it is probably too low. Too low a
pressure, although perfectly possible is unlikely.
If the pressure is too high in your area, you will need to fit a pressure reducing valve. This can be
purchased from your EWC Ltd or your local plumbers merchants. This will prolong the life of the
softener and reduce the risk of flooding due to over pressurisation.
Water hardness test strips with their instructions attached are included with this softener. Follow
attached instructions on the test strips to determine the water hardness of your mains water and record
your results on page 11 of this manual. You will use this data later to set up the water softener.
Next:
Carefully remove the softener from the box, holding by the Cabinet, not the control box.
Important: Never lift by the black control valve/box on top of the cabinet. If you damage
this, it won’t work.
