Do not use the water softener after a long
period of inactivation without regeneration
first!
Initiate a regeneration cycle after being
inactivated in a long period of time,
and then turn on the tap for several minutes
before resuming normal use.
Use only regenerants designed for water
softening.
Using other media may affect the water
softness quality and the performance
of the product negatively.
- Use only the recommended amount of salt!
Using excessive amount of salt will result
in flooding.
- Do not insert the salt with a sack inside the
brine well.
Using a sack will prevent water traction
and affect the performance negatively.
- Do not use sandy or connate salt
in the system!
Using these kinds of salt may affect the water
softness quality and the performance
of the product negatively.
In case of using water boiler or water heater,
ensure a minimum of 3 meters piping length
between the softener and boiler!
Hot water could cause severe damage
to the softener system. If using water boiler
3m
or water heater, ensure the total run
of the piping between the softener
and the boiler is not less than 3 meters.
It is recommended to install a check valve
between the softener and the boiler if unable
to meet the required piping length.
Do not let the cabinet come in contact with
corrosive materials!
These materials could corrode the outer cover
and adversely affect various parts
of the equipment. Toxic and hazardous
compounds could penetrate the water
softener pipes, causing contamination
of the water or leakage, which in turn may
cause personal damage or property damage.
When pre-filtration is necessary, it is
recommended to use a sediment filtration
in front of the system.
Sediment filtration will help to protect
the piston and gaskets of the valve.
