Regeneration Schedule - European Water Care EWC 10 Manual

8. Manually advance the control clockwise to the beginning of the Settle Rinse position and
allow the control to return to the In Service position automatically. This will take
approximately 40 minutes and should restore the water level in the brine tank to between 3
inches to 4 inches. Should it continue to refill beyond this check the electrical supply as this
process is controlled by the electrical timer.
9. Using ONLY salt tablets or pebbles, Fill the brine tank (initial fill, about 25kg).
10. Refit black cover to the control valve and the grey salt lid on salt fill aperture.
11. Make sure that the bypass valves are left in the correct service position i.e. inlet & outlet
open, bypass closed.
The water softener will automatically regenerate at 2:00am on the preset days.
The Water Softener is now on line and ready to use.
Regeneration Schedule - (see point 7)
As a general rule; an average person uses approximately 160 liters of water per day, this we
refer to as "one person day". So for example, a 10 LITRE water softener has a capacity of 8
person days, this would mean:-
These figures would assume a water hardness of 20' Clark (286 ppm) which is the national
average and moderately hard. This must only be considered as a guide, as the water hardness
varies greatly according to the area. Included with this water softener is a packet containing
two test strips (instructions for use are attached to the packet) that can be used to determine
the approximate hardness of the water in your home prior to fitment of the softener and
verify that the softener is working after fitment. Circle the result of the water hardness of
your mains water below. This information is used to set up the regeneration cycle of your
water softener using Fig 10
