3.
Drain connection:
Push the flexible drain hose onto the barbed connector
(Drain) as shown in chapter 3.4 Installation Layout and
secure with the clip provided.
Run the drain hose to a stand pipe or to a drain.
The drain water hose needs to be mounted with at least 20
mm distance (free outflow) to the highest possible drainage
water level.
Softened water will have no adverse effect on a septic tank.
You can extend the drain up to 9 m (horizontal) if you have
sufficient pressure (greater than 3 bar).
The drain hose must not be kinked or restricted in any way as
this will cause an overflow from the brine cabinet.
Frost protection:
If the drain hose or connecting pipework is likely to be subject
to temperatures below 0 °C it must be protected to prevent
freezing.
Failure to observe this precaution could lead to the water
softener overflowing.
Raising the drain hose:
If you have a water pressure of 3 bar or more, you can raise
the drain to a maximum of 3 metres above the valve head.
4.
Overflow connections:
The hose of the safety overflow (not supplied with the
softener) should be connected to the push fit elbow at the rear
of the cabinet (see chapter 3.5– Nr. 6). It needs to be mounted
with at least 20 mm distance (free outflow) to the highest
possible drainage water level.
Run the pipe downhill to the drainage.
If the water softener is fitted in a cellar or basement, the
overflow can be run to a storage tank. Do not elevate the
overflow hose.
5.
Electrical connections:
For added safety, peace of mind and ease of installation, your
water softener is powered by low voltage via a plug in
transformer.
6.
Filling the brine cabinet, salt- usage:
Now place the water softener salt in the brine cabinet.
Use the tablet salt (care cubes) from your local dealer.
Notes on salt usage: Your water softener will only perform
effectively if there is salt in the brine cabinet during the
regeneration process.
It is therefore essential that the salt level does not fall lower
than 15 cm in depth when measured from the base of the
brine cabinet.
The softener requires no priming, add no water to the brine
tank.
During regeneration, salt will not enter your water system as
the salt used in the regeneration process is rinsed safely
away to drain.
7.
Blending control:
All machines are factory set to produce water that is soft.
Honeywell GmbH
GB
It is recommended to set a residual water hardness of
at least 8°dH resp.15°fH to avoid corrosion damages.
To set a residual water hardness turn the blending
knob on the left side of the valve anti-clockwise until
the water meets your requirements.
8.
Testing for the water hardness in your
area:
Water hardness can vary from one location to another.
To determine the fresh water (unsoftened supply water) use
the hardness test kit supplied.
9.
Switching on for the first time:
I. Check that the inlet hoses and outlet hoses or couplings
are properly connected i.e. inlet-to-inlet, outlet-to-outlet
First the main tap of the mutiblock should be fully closed
position by turning clockwise.
II. Check that the mains stop valve open
III. Check that the Brine Cabinet (see chapter 3.5 - No. 7)
contains salt
IV. Check that the water softener is connected to the drain
and the overflow pipe is connected
The drain and overflow must not be linked to each
other.
V. Now open the main tap of the mutiblock by turning
counter clockwise
VI. Turn ON the power to the softener, you will hear the
valve move quietly into the start position. When the
positioning process has been completed (which can
take up to 5 minutes) you will hear the movement stop,
the valve has now reached its start position in
preparation for the programming procedure
VII. Check for leaks, take corrective action to stop leaks if
required.
– Your water softener is now on line and you may
start the valve programming procedure set out in
the 2 Quick Operation Section of this manual.
