8. Testing for the water hardness in your area
Water hardness can vary from one location to
another. To determine the hardness of the water
feeding your water softener (unsoftened supply)
use the hardness test kit supplied.
• Fill the test bottle supplied to the ll line with
water from a hard water tap.
• Add the tablet/liquid to the solution one tablet/
drop at a time.
• Shake the bottle in between and keep adding
tablets to the water until the solution turns from
wine red to blue, record the number of tablets as
you go.
• Using the data table supplied with your kit, match
up the number of tablets with the hardness. You
will need this gure when programming your
water softener following section 2 of this manual.
9. Switching on for the rst time
Check that the inlet hoses and outlet hoses or
couplings are properly connected i.e. inlet-to-inlet,
outlet-to-outlet.
The bypass arrangement (see page 15) should be
in the open position in example:
• the inlet- and outlet valves closed (E), (C).
• Check that the bypass valve (D) is open.
• Check that the mains stop valve (F) open.
• Check that the Brine Cabinet (G) contains salt.
• Check that the water softener is connected to the
drain (J) and the overow pipe (O) is connected.
Note: The drain and overow must not be linked to
each other.
• Gently open the inlet valve (C) so that water ows
into the resin vessel.
• Connect the transformer (or battery if applicable)
lead to the terminal on the rear of your water
softener and turn on the power. You will hear
the valve move into the service position. When
the positioning process has been completed
(which can take up to 5 minutes) you will hear
the movement stop, the valve has now reached
its service position in preparation for the
programming procedure.
• Close the by-pass valve (D).
• Gently open the outlet valve (E).
• Check for leaks and take corrective action to stop
leaks if required.
• Your water softener is now on line and you may
start the valve programming procedure set out in
the next section of this manual.
4. Operation
4.1 Function
The unit operates according to the principle of
intelligent regeneration. The average capacity level
of each model is preset and updates automatically
to the actual consumption within 14 days by
gathering data on your actual metered water usage.
It is not necessary to adjust the unit for individual
requirements.
Intelligent regeneration
When the unit is started, the available supply of
softened water is programmed (depending on
the hardness of the water). At a user-dened
time (e.g. at night), the unit checks whether the
remaining supply of softened water is sufcient
for the following day. If this is not the case, the
softening column is regenerated by only the exact
percentage necessary to fully replenish the supply
of softened water to 100%.
Note: With intelligent regeneration, the remaining
supply of softened water is guaranteed and waste
water and salt consumption is minimised. This is
only possible because of the precision owmeter,
which is able to adjust the amount of brine required
for each partial regeneration.
4.2 Operation
To operate effectively, your water softener must
have the current time, hardness of your supply
water and type of salt (where applicable) set.
NOTE: Table salt is NOT suitable.
Follow the Quick Set Guide in Section 2
Pressing the [SET] button will toggle between user
settings and Operation mode. Once set no further
adjustment of the water softener is required.
Charge Bar
During normal operation there is a charge bar
running along the bottom of the display. This
shows the percentage of water softener capacity
remaining. Immediately following a regeneration,
the charge bar returns to 100%.
