It contains important information about safety, installation, use and maintenance of the product. The actual system that you have received, may differ from the pictures/illustrations in this Owner's Manual.
OPERATING CONDITIONS & REQUIREMENTS OPERATING PRESSURE: min. 1,4 / max. 8,3 bar this system is configured to perform optimally at an operating pressure of 3 bar (±½ bar); in case of a lower or higher operating pressure the performance may be affected negatively! ...
INSTALLATION Screw the brass connection kit with nuts onto the INLET & OUTLET factory bypass (&); make sure to install the gasket seals. Tighten the nuts firmly by hand. Check the water pressure at the place of installation of Connect the mains water supply to the brass nipple the water softener;...

INSTALLATION DRAIN ELECTRICAL 1. Plug the transformer into an electrical outlet. We recommend the use of a stand pipe with air trap. 2. Plug the transformers output lead into the socket on the water softeners power cord; secure it by means of ...
START-UP 11. Open a cold treated water faucet nearby the water BRINE CABINET softener and regulate the flow rate to a ‘normal’ flow rate. 1. Add water conditioner salt to the brine cabinet. 12. Let the water run for half a minute and measure the water hardness.
2. the daily water usage. established, the control valve will resume the regeneration from the point where it was interrupted. Example: Micro Budget 6 Water hardness = 19 °f SERVICE / REGENERATION MODE Water usage = 500 L/day = 0,5 m³/day...

ELECTROMECHANICAL CONTROL PANEL 4. REGENERATION CYCLE: The length of the brine/slow rinse cycle has been preset; it should only be adjusted by a technical service person. Turn the timer knob (K) counter clockwise until the regeneration cams (I) are accessible; loosen the locking screw (H);...
MAINTENANCE WITH 3-VALVE BYPASS SYSTEM (not included) BYPASSING THE WATER SOFTENER Occasionally it may be necessary to put the unit hydraulically in bypass, i.e. to isolate it from the water distribution system; f.e.: in case of an urgent technical problem; ...

MAINTENANCE Ideally the level of water conditioner salt inside the brine WATER CONDITIONER SALT cabinet is kept between 1/3 and 2/3. A lower level of water conditioner salt can cause insufficient brine The water softener needs 'brine' for its periodic saturation, resulting in a loss of softening capacity.
TROUBLESHOOTING PROBLEM CAUSE SOLUTION Hard (untreated) water Open or defective bypass Close or replace bypass to service Water softener in regeneration Wait until regeneration finishes or manually advance regeneration to end Excessive water usage Initiate regeneration manually No salt in brine cabinet Add salt and initiate regeneration manually Salt bridging Break salt bridge(s) and initiate regeneration...
