1. INTRODUCTION 1.1. SAFETY MEASURES • Read this user manual before installing the device and follow the instructions carefully during installation and ope- ration. The manual contains all necessary information on safety precautions during installation, operation and service of the device. •...
1.3. DESCRIPTION OF DEVICE OPERATION The Ecoperla Vita water softener uses an ion exchange resin to remove calcium (Ca2+) and magnesium (Mg2+) ions, which cause water hardness. The device removes hardness from water totally or partially. Calcium ions Ca2+ and magnesium ions Mg2+ are removed when water flows through the ion exchange resin in the water softener tank.
3. SYSTEM COMPONENTS Ecoperla Vita consists of several components: Cabinet with brine tank, float and brine hose, Pressure cylinder, Control valve, Ion exchange resin, Water softener connections, Power supply unit, User manual. 4. INSTALLATION AND COMMISSIONING 4.1. REQUIREMENTS For proper operation, the water softener requires appropriate working conditions: •...

4.3. CONTROL VALVE Drain to the sewage DLFC Water outlet system BLFC 1" connection Injector Water inlet Mixer Brine hose inlet Flow meter A control valve is an integral part of the device mounted on the pressure cylinder inside the cabinet. It is responsible for the proper functioning of the device, monitors its operation and controls the regeneration process.
4.4. INSTALLATION Prepare the site for device installation (in accordance with point 4.1. Requirements). • • Shut off water supply to the installation. • Make water by-pass according to the diagram. • Install pre-filter with a filtering cartridge. • Connect the water inlet to the device. •...
5. PROGRAMMING 5.1. OPERATING MODE DISPLAYS Current time Remaining ion-exchange capacity Instantaneous flow rate Press NEXT to move to the next display. CAPACITY REMAINING TIME 4.41m 12:00 REGEN 10 l/min TODAY 5.2. LANGUAGE The menu is displayed in English.
You can return to the previous step by pressing REGEN. * Initial hardness is hardness of untreated water (befo- re softening). In Ecoperla Vita, water hardness units are entered in ppm. A table with water hardness unit conver- sions can be found in point 2.1.
Press “up” and “down” to enter the time when regeneration starts. SET TIME 2:00 In the case of Ecoperla Vita, we recommend setting the re- REGEN generation time to 2 a.m., as the water demand is lowest at this time.
5.4.1. Selection of operation mode Press “up” and “down” to select the operation mode: softening and filtration. SOFTENING For Ecoperla Vita, select softening. Press NEXT to move to the next stage. You can return to the previous step by pressing REGEN. 5.4.2. Brine-up time Press “up”...
5.4.4. Rinse time Press “up” and “down” to enter the quick rinse time in 2 MIN minutes. RINSE Press NEXT to move to the next stage. You can return to the previous step, pressing REGEN 5.4.5. Salt fill in kilograms Press “up”...
MIXED: regeneration is delayed or starts as soon as the ion exchange capacity is exhausted. For Ecoperla Vita, we recommend the DELAYED regene- ration setting. Press NEXT to move to the next stage. You can return to the previous step by pressing REGEN.
5.4.9. 1st relay settings This option pulls the 12 V DC signal from the control valve. After activating the 1st relay signal, you can choose the way of activating the relay: - OFF, - when specified amount of time elapses since the last regeneration, for a specific time (HOUR), - when specified volume of water flows since the last regeneration, for a specific time or until water flow ceases,...
5.5. OPERATING HISTORY Press “up” and “down” simultaneously and hold the buttons for 5 seconds until the message on the display changes. You will gain access to the basic operating history of the device. Press NEXT to move to the next stage. You can return to the previous step by pressing REGEN. To access the extended history, press “up”...
5.5.3. Reserve volume The screen displays reserve volume for 7 days (press “up” and “down” to select the day). 0.88 m Press NEXT to move to the next stage. You can return to the previous step by pressing REGEN. 5.5.4. Regeneration history The screen displays the volume of water softened by the device for the last 63 days (press “up”...
5.6.2. Total number of days The screen displays the total number of days of device operation. Press NEXT to move to the next stage. You can return to the previous step by pressing REGEN. 5.6.3. Total number of regenerations The screen displays the total number of device regenera- tions.
6. OPERATION 6.1. WATER SOFTENER OPERATION The water softening system requires adding salt tablets to the brine tank. Salt demand depends on total hardness of raw water and average water consumption. The system requires regular, periodic regeneration. Regeneration takes place automatically. This process requires appropriate volume of water and salt for rinsing and brining the medium.
We recommend using Ecoperla Antidotum granules for device maintenance. Use the product only for its intended purpose. 6.6. MEDIUM DISINFECTION We recommend using Ecoperla Antibacter for disinfecting and maintaining the filtering medium. Use the product only for its intended purpose.
7. SERVICE 7.1. ACTIVITIES PERFORMED BY SERVICE TECHNICIAN To ensure many years of trouble-free operation and a 10-year warranty period, the device should be serviced annually after the second year of operation. Basic service activities performed by the service technician during the inspection: •...
