1.1 General comments
This appliance can be used by children aged from
8 years and above and by persons with reduced
physical, sensory or mental capabilities or lack of
experience and knowledge if they have been given
supervision and instruction in the safe use of the
appliance and understand the hazards involved.
Children must not play with the appliance or any
contents therein at any time.
Extended periods of non-use: If the property is
to be left unattended for any length of time, e.g.
holidays, the water softener should be bypassed/
isolated from the mains water supply by reversing
the 3 valve positions shown in the installation
instructions of this manual, or by correct operation
of Uniconnect simple install block (depending on
use).
After prolonged periods of non-use, we recommend
that a manual regeneration of the softener is
carried out as described in section 4.2 of this
manual.
Protect from extreme temperatures:
Do not install the softener where it, or its
connections (including drain and overow lines),
could be subject to temperatures below 5ºC or
above 40ºC.

1.3 Safety instructions
Electrical safety – Only use the
transformer / plug or battery supply
(where applicable) supplied with this
device.
Before use ensure that the data specication on the
power supply matches the local mains electricity
supply. Depending on where you sourced your
device it will be supplied with the applicable plug
connection (3 Pin UK, 2 pin EU or 2 pin US).
The complete power supply unit must be replaced
in the event of damage to the mains cable. If in any
doubt, consult a qualied electrician.
If a power failure occurs during regeneration, waste
water may be owing. Therefore the overow
connection should, and waste water drain MUST
always be installed and connected to a suitable
domestic waste / drain in order to avoid the risk of
ooding.
Warning:
Do not use any aggressive cleaning
agents. For cleaning please wipe clean
with a damp cloth.
Maintenance:
The device must be isolated during
installation, maintenance and repair
work. Your water softener requires
regular service in order to maintain
performance.
Please contact your local BWT Ofce for
details.
Please observe:
NEVER operate the device with the
housing covers removed.
