Congratulations on your purchase of a high quality filter for softening and deferrization of water Aquaphor. The Aquaphor water softener filter (hereinafter referred to as the softener) is a high-performance device that removes high concentrations of hardness salts, iron and manganese, ensures long-term operation without replacing the sorbent, and minimizes salt and water consumption during regeneration.
*** For the correct selection of the filter, use the operating capacity and pressure drop. Long-term operation at flows higher than those tested (more than 30 l/min) may lead to a decrease in cleaning efficiency. **** Only for version S550 P1.

Troubleshooting Probable Cause Solution Problem: No soft water output after softener regeneration There is no salt in the brine tank Add salt Solids in the brine tank clogged the brine line, brine Dismantle the brine line together with the air cut-off valve, air check valve or injector valve Air check.
