A. Refilling salt in brine tank
16
The operation of the water softener is
entirely automatic.
The basic maintenance activities for
which the user of the water softener is
responsible, include:
 control of the level of salt in the
brine tank - once every week,
 periodical refill of regeneration salt
if it requires being topped up,
 control of the hardness of water
treated by the water softener -
once every week
 control of the water pressure in
the installation (control of installed
pressure gauges) - once every
two weeks,
The control of the level of salt in the tank is a basic
maintenance activity during the use of the softener. The
activity should be carried out once a week. If the tank is
only 1/3 full, it is necessary to refill the salt up to the
brine valve well height. In case of lack of salt in the
tank, the ion exchange resin will not regenerate and the
device will not treat the water.
If possible, refill the regeneration salt in packages (25
kg). When refilling regeneration salt, make sure to
prevent any contaminants from penetrating into the
brine tank. In case the brine tank is contaminated, rinse
the tank with clean water. Also make sure that there are
no regeneration salt tablets in the brine valve well. For
this purpose, refill the brine tank with tablets only when
the brine valve well is covered (with a special cover).
 control of the pre-filter's cartridge
cleanliness, periodical
replacement of the cartridge
and/or control of the pressure
upstream and downstream of the
pre-filter - once a week or two
weeks,
 control of the clock indications in
terms of the current hour and
possible resetting of clock
indications (resetting time - see
above).

Important notice!
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 in tablets).
