4. ASSEMBLY 4.1. PRELIMINARY WARNINGS Ecoperla Toro is a series of cabinet water softeners in two sizes. Device operates properly if you know hardness value of raw water in your household. If water comes from a public water intake, information on hardness can be obtained from water supplier. If water...

4.2.2. Device connection to water system System must be connected to the feed water with a bypass. You cay use either the original bypass or 3 ball valves installed in the pipeline (Fig. 1). Below is a diagram of the position of the original bypass ball valve, which is attached to the system. Fig.
4.2.3. Drain hose connection The system should be placed as close to the drain as possible. The drain level should be below the softener valve and no further than 3 m. Otherwise please contact your dealer’s technical department. The pipe connecting the device to the sewage system should be connected to the drain stub (fig.
To install the overflow hose, the overflow cap must be placed in the hole that is located on the side of the brine tank. It should be fixed with a nut and gasket as shown in fig. 5. The overflow cap for cabinet systems can be found in the box and can be fitted to the appropriate side of the ho- using, depending on the location of the system.
Rys. 5 5. PROGRAMMING After connecting the power line, you need to program the programmer. Fig. 6 Programmer front panel Description Button ADVANCE Moves the pointer to set appropriate parameters. TIME&DAY Allows for programming the time and date. INCREASE VALUES AND CONFIRMATION Increases the value of the configured parameters.
Before using the water softener, you need to program the control valve. Default program is mode 4 - METERDELEY - volumetric with delayed regeneration. For programming you need to: set the time (point 5.1, page 11) set the regeneration time and volume of softened water (point 5.2.4.1, page 16) set the regeneration cycles (5.2.5, page 18) 5.1.
MODE 2: METERIMM – Volumetric mode with immediate regeneration. The system will perform regeneration immediately after softening the specified volume of water. After programming, the following message will appear on the screen: Volume control indicator 14:05 PM 0002000 Service Volume available Status WEEK –...

BEWARE: If the valve is opened too much or too quickly, damage may occur inside the softener due to hydraulic shock. Listen as air slowly escapes down the drain to the sewage system. Press and release MANUAL REGENERATION to move on to the next regeneration cycles. Repeat this operation until you reach CYCLE 4, REFILL to vent the brine hose.

You should also disinfect the system every 6 months. For more detailed information, consult the technical department. BEWARE: We recommend using the Ecoperla Antidotum medium cleaning granulate every 6 months, alternating with Ecoperla Antibacter disinfectant. It is the best combination for main- tenance of the filtering medium.
