Water softeners of the series Weichwassermeister
®
GSX are designed for the
softening and partial softening of cold drinking and industrial water. As twin
systems, they are suitable for a continuous soft water supply.
The water to be softened must be free of iron and manganese (less than
0.2 mg iron and 0.05 mg manganese per litre). Based on the VDI 6023:If
the softened water is intended for human consumption in the sense of the
German Drinking Water Ordinance, the ambient temperature must not ex-
ceed 25 °C. For exclusively industrial applications, the ambient temperature
must not exceed 40 °C. For the softening of drinking water, the stipula-
tions of the German Drinking Water Ordinance are compulsory (max. sodi-
um concentration 200 mg/l (Refer to chapter E, paragraph 3).
The water softener is adapted to the soft water requirements to be ex-
pected at the installation site. It is not suitable for considerably differing
performances. The nominal flow must not be exceeded.
In case of critical applications (e. g. boiler feed water), we recommend in-
stalling a hardness monitoring device (e.g. GENO
®
-control SP, order num-
ber 172 400).
The system may only be operated if all components are properly installed.
Safety devices must NEVER be removed, bridged or tampered with.
Appropriate application of the system also implies that the information
contained in this operation manual and all safety guidelines applying at the
installation site be observed. Finally, the system must be maintained and
inspected at the specified intervals.
