Basic Information Water Softeners Hinweis: Calcium ions and magnesium ions exist side by side in na- ture, e.g. in the mineral dolomite. Hardness ranges according to the German Act on Environmental Sustainability of De- tergents and Cleaning Agents (WMRG): The total hardness of the water is the sum of the concentrations of calcium ions and magnesium ions.
Page 11
Basic Information Water Softeners 3 | Ion exchange The exchange of calcium and magnesium ions for sodium ions causes the water to become soft. Principle The hard raw water flows through an exchanger tank. This tank is filled with a resin, to which sodium ions are bonded at certain po- sitions (see fig.

Installation ® GENO-mat duo WE When installing the water softener GENO-mat ® duo WE certain 1.1 Water installation rules must absolutely be respected. Additional recommendations facilitate the work with the system. The installation instructions described herewith are illustrated in Fig. D-1. Binding rules The installation of a water softener represents a major interference with the drinking water system.
Installation GENO-mat duo WE 2 Preliminary works 1. Unpack all system components. 2. Check for completeness and possible transportation damage. 3. Place both exchanger tanks at the appropriate location. Attention! The system only works if the components are mount- ed properly.
Installation ® GENO-mat duo WE 5. Centre the risers precisely. 6. If necessary, remove the excessive resin from the threads and the sealing surfaces of the exchanger tanks for the connection of the control valve and the exchanger adapter. 7. Remove the protective caps from the risers. 8.
Installation GENO-mat duo WE 3 System connection 3.1 Water connection 1. Connect the system to the water supply as per installation drawing (fig. D-1 (a)). Observe the instructions and recommendations in section 1. Note: The supplied water meter must absolutely be installed at the soft water side (downstream of the system).
