Regeneration of the ion exchange resin is done 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
after lifting the brine tank cover. For wet (humid)
premises, it is recommended to only half fill the brine
tank and refill it more often. The above
recommendation results from the possibility of
formation of so called salt bridges (fig. 6). For
premises with standard humidity, the brine tank can
be filled to full, i.e. 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 concerning the quality
of the regeneration agent, only regeneration salt
approved by the water softener manufacturer should
be used (regeneration salt). Use of edible salt is not
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 to
be performed for the manual activation of the
regeneration process are described in section II.
The device is ready for use once the regeneration
process is complete.
