  • Page 2: Media Installation

    INSTALLATION Check the equipment upon arrival for damage or shortages and report same to our Office or Agent before commencing installation. Locate the unit and brine tank on a firm level clean foundation, preferably concrete, with sufficient space for operation and maintenance. Position the tanks in their correct position before loading the media.
  • Page 3 Step 11: Replace top tank/flange/strainer assembly (removed in Step 1) and tighten. Fit pipe work supplied and hand tighten each union. Check that main valve and pipe work is vertical, tighten all unions. Fit air release valve to the Tee at the top of the pipe work.
  • Page 4 The drain line must discharge into an open pipe at least 80mm diameter no more than 3 metres from the unit. An air gap of 100mm should be allowed for inspection and to conform to sanitary codes. Connect the 172 Valve actuator drain line to the waste with 10mm tubing.
  • Page 5 DETERMINE FREQUENCY OF REGENERATION After locating and installing the brine tank in the required position, it is necessary to know whether a wet or dry salt system is being used. This is done by calculation as follows:- NOTE: Less salt is required to regenerate a partially exhausted bed per gram of hardness removed, than that required for a more exhausted bed.
  • Page 6 EXAMPLE The medium and maximum capacities of a single unit from Table 4 are 36000 and 49000 respectively. The calculated capacity falls closer to the maximum and so the higher value should be used. Salt dosage required per single softener for 36000 g is 90 kg (from Table 4). Now looking at Table 5 we find that only wet salt can be used.
  • Page 7 COMMISSIONING Step 1: Check plug is dry first, then connect lead into power outlet and switch on. Check that the brine throttle/stop valve is closed. Step 2: Fully open the control valve electrical cabinet cover and hold in this position with a temporary tie cord.
  • Page 8 Step 7: In the calculations you have done (determining regeneration frequency) you found the value for (N) - maximum time between regeneration in days. To set the skipper wheel up as required, pull all the skipper wheel pins (Fig. 5) out. Turn the dial to the correct day of the week on which you are setting the dial.
