Filling The Brine Tank With Salt - Viessmann AQUAHOME 20-N Installation And Operation Manual

C. Filling the brine tank with salt
Regeneration of the ion exchange resin
is implemented with the use of brine or
in other words - aqueous salt solution.
The process utilises special
regenerative salt in tablets. The brine
tank is filled with salt tablets for which
the brine tank cover must be lifted. For
wet (humid) premises it is
recommended to only half fill the brine
tank and refill the brine tank more often.
The above recommendation results
from the possibility of so called salt
bridges (concrements) being formed in
humid environment (figure 7). For
premises with standard humidity the
brine tank can be filled in full that is up
to the level of the brine valve well
height. During normal operation of the
device the control valve allows certain
volume of water into the brine tank in
order to generate aqueous salt solution
that is later used for regeneration of the
medium.
Due to specific requirements for quality
of the regeneration agent only
regeneration salt approved by the water
softener manufacturer should be used
(regeneration salt in tablets complying
the salt level in the brine tak to drop below
that level.
Important notice!
Make sure to set the actual salt level each
time the brine tank is refilled with salt.
In order to cancel the salt level control
feature, press "SET SALT LEVEL" button as

recommended.
Prior to filling the brine tank with salt
make sure that the cover of brine valve
cover is tightly closed. No salt tablet
should be allowed to this part of the
device.
The brine tank capacity is provided in
section IV - "Dimensions and technical
specifications".
Upon filling the brine tank with salt, the
regeneration process should be
activated manually. Activities which
must be performed for manual
activation of the regeneration process
are described in section II. Once the
regeneration process in complete the
device is ready for use.
