3. Before You start
Make sure you have all necessary parts and tools required before starting the
installation.
Follow all regulations regarding drainage. If in doubt see the relevant WRAS
guidance notes which can be found at www.wras.co.uk.
Read this manual carefully. If you have any questions or remarks please contact
the Technical Helpline on 01785 811636.
Check incoming water pressure: minimum 0.8 bar (dynamic), maximum 6 bar
(static) (15 - 100 PSI). If necessary fit a pressure reducing valve to reduce the
incoming water pressure.
Do not install the Softline water softener close to a heat source. (environment
temperature must be below 40°c ).
Protect the water softener drain hose (item 12, page 5), and all fittings against
frost.
Make sure you have tested the water for Total Hardness for the area. If in doubt
telephone the Technical helpline on 01785 811636 to obtain this information.
Remember, if you are not sure ASK!
It is recommended that a water softener is installed by a professional. Although Softline
water softeners are probably the easiest and safest softener on the market, it is
imperative that all necessary precautions are taken.
This installation guide is written to help the professional installer and assumes that this
person has a working knowledge of hydraulic softeners and domestic plumbing.
Proper operation of the softener depends on correct installation, commissioning,
maintenance and maintaining the salt level with suitable salt manufactured for use in
water softeners. An annual inspection of your Softline water softener will help ensure a
long operating life.
