Installation of your water softener

 

(cont)

FLOW RATES

The water flow must be at least 1 litre per minute for the water 

softener to operate as originally designed.

Maximum flow is 53 litres per minute (peak)

UNVENTED OR COMBINATION SYSTEMS

The water softener and 22mm installation kit is compatible with 

unvented or combination systems. All connections are included 

for the by-pass (two 15mm reducers are included if required).

CENTRAL HEATING SYSTEMS

Central heating systems should always be treated with a suitable 

corrosion inhibitor regardless of being filled with softened or 

hard water. 

DRAIN HOSE

With a recommended pressure of 3 bar, the maximum drain 

run is 3m with a constant fall before entering an air gap. 

The maximum height above the softener should be not more 

than 2m before entering an air gap. It is not recommended to 

discharge the waste into a pumped drain.

PLUMBING COMPONENTS NEEDED

The installation kit provides the basic plumbing components but 

additional piping and connectors (capillary and/or compression 

copper fittings) should be used as required.
