This instructions manual is an integrating part of the automatic valve for water softening (also defined in this instructions
manual, more simply with the terms of valve or appliance) and must be kept for any future consultation. Carefully read
the warnings contained in this manual before installing and using the valve. These warnings have been drawn up for the
safe installation, use and maintenance; any warnings or diagrams relating to particular models, will be provided attached

Any use of the valve different from the production of softened water, using water at temperatures above 50° is to be
considered improper. To guarantee valve efficiency and for its correct functioning, it is essential to comply with the
Manufacturer indications having installation and repairs carried out by qualified staff, as the intervention of inexperienced
persons, can cause or worsen damages, as well as be dangerous.

FUNCTIONING PRINCIPLE

How softening happens:
Hard water is made to go through a layer of ions exchanger resins which properties withhold the encrusting salts
(calcium and magnesium) and replace them with others non-encrusting (sodium).
When the resins are saturate, wash them in a sodium chloride (food salt) solution to regenerate them. An inverted
exchange happens to previous, therefore, at the end of the operation, the resins will be ready again to supply more
softened water.
All this happens automatically.
