Waterco Commandomatic Ezysoft I pg 03 INTRODUCTION This booklet is designed to cover the Waterco Ezysoft semi automatic domestic water softeners. 1. GENERAL INFORMATION 1.2. WATER SOFTENERS Hard water contains dissolved minerals in the form of Calcium (Ca), Magnesium (Mg), and Iron (Fe).
2. OPERATING CONDITIONS AND REQUIREMENTS • OPERATING PRESSURE: min. 140 / max. 830 kPa − This system is configured to perform optimally at an operating pressure of 300 kPa (±50 kPa); in case of a lower or higher operating pressure the performance may be affected negatively.
I pg 05 3. HOW THE SYSTEM WORKS The Commandomatic Ezysoft is a semi-automatic water softener. When the drain paddle is opened, the valve is automatically transferred to the regeneration position; with its few moving parts, this simple and reliable system guarantees years of trouble-free service.
4. INSTALLATION To facilitate the installation process, remove the salt lid and main cover from the water softener. 4.2. CONNECTING INLET & OUTLET Screw the factory bypass onto the elbow connections of the water softener (2&3); make sure to install the gasket seals. Tighten the nuts firmly by hand. II.
Waterco Commandomatic Ezysoft I pg 07 4.3. THE DRAIN Connect a 13 mm hose to the drain of the control valve (1); secure it by means of a clamp. II. Run the drain hose to the sewerage system and connect it to the stand pipe assuring sufficient air gap.
5. START UP When installation has been completed, the unit is ready to be placed into service. Proceed as follows, while checking the unit for any leakages: Place unit in bypass and turn on main water supply; open a cold water tap nearby and allow water to run for a few minutes until all foreign material that may have resulted from the installation is washed out;...
Waterco Commandomatic Ezysoft I pg 09 6. INITIATE A REGENERATION The semi-automatic timer must be manually initiated; by turning the timer knob clockwise past 30 min, the drain paddle is opened and the valve is transferred to the brine/slow rinse position; the length of this cycle can then be set between 0 and 120 min.

Calculate the total Hardness. Usually chemical analyses report Calcium (Ca) and Magnesium in terms of parts per million (ppm) as Calcium Carbonate (CaCO3). However, in some cases, the analysis is reported in terms of the elements themselves. If this is the case, proceed as follow: Calcium (as Ca)_______x 2.50 = _______ppm Ca as CaCO Magnesium (as Mg)_______x 4.10 =_______ppm Mg as CaCO (A)_______ + (B) _______ = _______ Total Hardness ppm as CaCO...

8.3. ADDING SALT Be sure to use Commandomatic salt (approximately 1/4” pellets), as it is specially selected large granule salt, graded for maximum efficiency and packed in 25kg moisture proof bags. This will prevent “bridging”, as would occur if fine salt were used. Your brine tank holds 50kg – or 2 bags of salt.

9.6. BODY STEM ASSEMBLY Remove the drain hose from the drain line fitting. II. Remove the 4 timer head screws and pull away the timer head assembly. III. Pull forward the main diaphragm; put 2 fingers behind the membrane and pull out the body stem assembly. IV.
