/ HINTS AND TIPS ABOUT YOUR NEW WATER SOFTENER
1. Please ensure that any appliances (washing machine etc.) used during ‘Economy 7’ time, do not begin
their cycle between 11pm and 5am.
2. To ensure the highest efficiency is obtained, it is recommended that you top up the unit with the
correct salt (Monarch’s Ultimate Tablet Salt for the Ultra HE and Premio HE or Block Salt for the Ultra HE
only on a weekly basis. It is a lot easier to remember than monthly! DO NOT fill salt compartment higher
than the lift handles moulded into the sides of the cabinet. Ref to image on page 8. Filling your softener
on a weekly basis is a lot easier to remember than monthly! Never let the salt go below half way down
the cabinet, as this will affect the performance of the softener. IMPORTANT: The quality of your salt will
help determine the operating efficiency and reliability of your softener. Monarch strongly recommend its
own Ultimate Tablet or Block Salt. However, if your local outlet does not have this in stock, please ensure
the salt used complies with BS EN 973 Grade A standards.
3. Bath and shower surfaces will become smoother - be careful, in particular the young and infirm - why
not buy a bathmat?
4. Cut washing powder down by at least a 1/3rd or you will go into a kitchen/utility room full of suds!
5. Soft water will become available throughout your system in varying time spans.
Conventional systems (tanks in your roof) will take anything from 4-10 days, whilst mains fed Pressurised
Systems will give soft water within 2-3 days.
6. Dishwashers - On most installations the dishwasher is to be connected to the soft water. We
recommend that you continue to add a small amount of salt to the appliance as before, as this helps the
salt holder in the appliance stay clean. We do not however recommend that crystal glass, solid silver- or
silver-plated items are washed in your dishwasher as etching may occur. Less dishwasher liquid may be
required and in certain cases this will also apply to rinse aid. On dishwashers connected to hard water,
you should continue to put salt into the dishwasher’s own softener. If in any doubt if your machine
should have either hard or soft water, please contact your dishwasher manufacturer, but remember they
want to sell you spare parts to replace those that get scaled up!
7. Steam Irons -We do not recommend the use of soft water in your steam iron as most are designed for
hard water and to be periodically de-scaled. Alternatively please use
de-ionised water.
8. Outside Tap - It is recommended to leave your outside tap on mains hard water. Additionally, in the
wintertime we recommend that this tap is isolated via an internal valve to prevent freezing.
9. Existing scale - Soft water will immediately begin to de-scale your pipes and appliances. Your hot
water cylinder will take longer to de-scale than your pipe work; therefore you may notice different
levels of soft water for some time whilst the system is de-scaling. This is particularly noticeable in your
bath and shower.
10. Every boiler has two sides to its operation. The radiators are classified as the ‘primary system’
and the hot water through the taps etc is called the ‘secondary system’. All the benefits of soft water
are enjoyed in the secondary side of the system, i.e. cold and hot water in your shower, bath, toilets,
appliances, your hot water cylinder etc. The majority of boilers primary side are designed to be used
with hard water. Therefore in compliance with the HHIC and boiler manufacturer guidelines, place
softener on bypass and fill primary system (radiators) with hard water and the appropriate inhibitor.
The inhibitor is designed to keep the radiators operating at maximum efficiency. Once the radiators
are filled with hard water, place your softener back into service. This will return the remainder of the
system (secondary) to soft water throughout.
11. Accumulators - please ensure that the softener is installed on the outlet of an accumulator.
