Installation
1. Draw the cartridge out from the bracket. Mount it near to the raw water tap using
the enclosed screws and dowels. Ensure that the mixed bed ion exchanger is
freely accessible.
CAUTION:
Before starting step 1, ensure that there are no electrical wires or
water-carrying pipes in the vicinity of the drilling holes.
2. After mounting the bracket, use slight pressure to insert the cartridge with
attached conductivity meter in it.
3. Connect the raw water hose, free of kinks and coils, to the water tap and to the
R ¾” thread at the bottom of the cartridge.
CAUTION:
The straight connector of the raw water hose contains the water
restrictor and must be connected to the water tap. The angled connector is to be
fitted to the R 3/4” thread of the cartridge.
4. Fit the pure water hose to the hose nipple of the conductivity meter.
CAUTION:
Ensure that the pure water hose is neither blocked in any way nor
kinked, as the plastic cartridge could then burst under the resulting build-up
of pressure.
5. Connect the power plug to the appropriate socket with earth contact: 115V/230V,
50/60 Hz.
6. Carefully open the water tap and watch for any leaks. Should there be leakage at
the union nut of the conductivity meter or at the hose connections, turn the water
tap off and tighten the union nut or hose connections by hand until the water
leak is stopped.
7. The system is now ready to produce demineralised water. Keep a watch on the
conductivity meter, as effluent water is first to be taken for use when the pointer of
the conductivity meter is in the green section or at a maxi¬mum of 20 μS/cm.
Changing the cartridge
The cartridge should be changed after rea¬ching the limit of conductivity, based on
the respective application. Replacement cartridges should be used within 12 months,
otherwise the quality of produced water is no longer guaranteed. Please note in this
regard the specified production date on the package.
1. Close the water tap and remove the electric plug from the socket, then disconnect
the raw water hose from the cartridge.
CAUTION:
When opening, water may leak out of the cartridge. Make sure, that this
does not impair any other systems in the vicinity.
2. Remove the cartridge with conductivity meter from the bracket.
3. Unscrew the conductivity meter from the exhausted cartridge.
4. Fit the conductivity meter on the fresh cartridge and fit the combination in the
bracket. Connect the raw water hose to the fresh cartridge. Only hand tighten the
hose nipple.
5. Plug in the power plug. The system is now ready for use again. Please note:
When no water flows through the cartridge, reionisation effects could cause
the conductivity meter to show incorrect values. Please do not use the water
produced until the flow of it through the measuring cell brings the conductivity
meter display to a correct value.
