transportation and storage appropriate measures should be adopted to prevent the
contamination of materials or objects themselves.
Assembly

norm/certification;
• after installation and before use, perform one or more manual regenerations in order to clean
the media bed. During such operations, do not use the water for human consumption. Perform a
disinfection of the system in the case of installations for treatment of drinking water for human
use.
NOTE

This operation must be repeated in the case of ordinary and extraordinary maintenance. It
should also be repeated whenever the system remains idle for a significant time.

2.4.2. Hygiene measures

DANGER
Do not use with water that is micro-biologically unsafe or of unknown quality without
adequate disinfection before or after the softener.
WARNING
Water softeners using sodium chloride for regeneration will add sodium to the water.
Person who are on sodium-restricted diets should consider the added sodium as part of
their overall sodium intake.
Disinfection
• The materials used for the construction of our products meet the standards for use with potable
water; the manufacturing processes are also geared to preserving these criteria. However, the
process of production, distribution, assembly and installation, may create conditions of bacterial
proliferation, which may lead to odour problems and water contamination;
• it is therefore strongly recommended to sanitize the products. See 6.2. Cleaning, disinfection and
sanitization, page 67;
• maximum cleanliness is recommended during the assembly and installation;
• for disinfection, use sodium or calcium hypochlorite and perform a manual regeneration.
