The position of the control valve must be higher than the floor drain and the length of the drain
and overflow pipe must not exceed 2 m. The installation of shut-off devices in the drain pipe is
strictly prohibited. The sealing of the pipe fittings may only be made of PTFE.
Instructions for first use
1.
Initial settings of the operating system
When the softener is switched on for the first time, the system indicates that water is being
added. Press the button to access the operating system and set the current time, the regen-
eration time, and the raw water hardness.
2.
First water supply for water softeners
Before the first water supply, close the water inlet valve of your building, switch the bypass valve
to the operating position and to the unlocked state, press the button to start regeneration;
“system is back washing” is shown on the display panel. When the power is switched off, the
water softener remains in backwash mode. Open the water inlet valve slowly to ¼ (opening it
quickly can damage the appliance and lead to resin loss). At the beginning, the sound of slowly
escaping air should be heard in the blow-off pipe. After the air in the GFK tank has escaped
(i.e., when the water in the blow-off pipe flows out evenly), the water inlet valve should be fully
opened.
Attention!
If the water inlet valve is fully opened directly, the water will flow into the softener too quickly,
causing the softener resin in the tank to be stirred up, which will easily cause the upper collection tank
to break and damage the softener. It is therefore necessary to open the water inlet valve slowly ¼ to
allow the water to flow slowly into the tank, release the air in the tank and fill the tank with tap water.
During backwashing, the outlet of the blow-off pipe must be checked several times until it is really clean.
The backwash time should not be less than 5
min.
3.
First filling of the brine tank with water
After completing the above steps, switch on the system. Press to call up the brine and slow
rinse option, then press once to call up the refill option. In the refill option, a certain amount
of water is added to the brine tank so that the appliance has ready-to-use brine available for the
next regeneration. Once refilling is complete, the system switches to the quick-rinse option, in
which it takes around 5
min for the discharge to be recognised. Once the hardness has been
determined, proceed to the next step and return to the operating option to produce softened
water.
4.
Salt addition to the brine tank and salt addition process
Open the lid and pour a sufficient amount of soaked salt into the brine container. The salt in the
brine tank must be above the water level. As a rule, the salt should exceed the level of the water
in the brine tank and salt particles should always be visible.
