1. PRESENTATION
The system you have just bought is a state-of-the-art equip-
ment, able to deliver softened water to your home.
Developed and designed by IONFILTER, a leading company
from the industry with more than 20 years of experience; this
equipment will deliver softened water without scaling salts,
thus protecting your water supplies, avoiding the obstruction
of all pipes and allowing you to enjoy the benefits of softened
water.
The quality of the water in our environment is getting worse
every day, leading to an increase in water hardness, which
causes problems in pipes and affects the proper operation of
appliances using water, by increasing the maintenance and
reducing their service life.
The reality of this is what has driven us to design this series of
domestic water softeners, in order to provide you with a water
of the highest quality.
Your STRATOS H.E. water softener will provide you and your
family the benefits and advantages outlined below:
- ENERGY SAVING
- Greater wellness feeling.
- Soft and smooth skin.
- Increases the service life of electrical appliances and
heaters.
- ECONOMIC SAVING: it reduces the consumption of
soap, fabric softeners and chemical products.
- Low maintenance cost.
- Operation is completely automatic.
It is very important that you read and keep this manual before
installation and start-up of the system. If you have any questions
regarding the use or maintenance of this system, please contact the
Technical Assistance Service (TAS) of your distributor.
