Now place the water softener salt in the brine cabinet. Use care cubes (tablet salt)
o
Note: Tablet salt or block salt can be used for the WS455 and WS555 models, depending
on preference.
nly, this is available from your local BWT stockist.
Rigid plastic 3/4" overflow pipe (not supplied with the softener) should be connected to
the push fit elbow at the rear of the cabinet (see page 8). Run the pipe downhill to the
outside of the building. Take care that the overflow does not discharge where damage
could occur.
If the water softener is fitted in a cellar or basement, the overflow can be run to a
storage tank. Do not elevate the overflow hose. Do not use jointing cement on the fitting.

5. Electrical connections
For added safety, peace of mind and ease of installation, your water softener is powered
by low voltage via a plug in transformer. This transformer must be connected to a
switched socket. Plug the transformer into the socket with the switch in the OFF position.

6. Filling the brine cabinet, salt usage and the salt alarm
All machines are factory set to produce
water that is soft. If you prefer water which
is less soft, turn the blending knob on the
left side of the valve anti-clockwise until
the water meets your requirements.
Notes on salt usage
Your water softener will only perform effectively if there is salt in the brine cabinet during
the regeneration process. It is therefore essential that the salt level does not fall lower
than 150mm in depth when measured from the base of the brine cabinet.
Note: The softener requires no priming. Do not add water to the brine tank.
During regeneration, salt will not enter your water system as the salt used in the
regeneration process is rinsed safely away to drain.
Your water softener is equipped with a low salt reminder, this monitors your water usage
and sounds an audible alarm whilst displaying the word “SALt”, as a reminder to check
the salt level. To reset the salt alarm, fill the brine tank with salt and press the key
twice.

and sounds an audible alarm whilst displaying the word “SALt”, as a reminder to check
the salt level. To reset the salt alarm, ll the brine tank with salt and press the key
