Once the installation of all pipes is
finished and before connecting the by-
pass, let water flow through the inlet and
outlet pipes to remove all residues and
check the tightness of the installation.
Note: The inlet and outlet are indicated
in the valve. Draw the sense of the flow
to be sure.
'WARNING' Check that the pipes
are fixed, aligned and supported in
order to avoid any pressures on the inlet
and outlet of the water softener. A
wrong
pressure
misaligned pipe, or not supported, could
damage the valve.
WELDED COPPER
1. Clean carefully and apply welding
paste on all joints.
2. Carry out all the welding.
Note: Do not weld to the installation
the pipes of the by-pass valve. The heat
from the welding could damage the
valve.
THREADED PIPE
1. Apply a sealing paste for pipes or Teflon
tape on all male threaded pipes.
2. Tighten all threaded connections.
CPVC PLASTIC PIPE
1. Clean, prepare and glue all joints
according
to
instructions.
OTHER
Please follow the instructions from the
pipes' manufacturer when using other
types of pipes and fixtures approved for
drinking water.
6.2 INSTALLATION OF THE DRAIN
AND
THE OVERFLOW.
Take
the
drain
discharge point. Connect the 1/2" tube
to the drain elbow of the valve (2). The
drain tube must penetrate into the elbow
about 18mm (3).
Take the tube towards the drain of the
installation. The section towards the
coming
from
the
manufacturer's
tubes
towards
the
drain must be as straight as possible to
avoid bottlenecks or syphonage. The
drain must be evacuated in a sump or
drainage outlet with a suitable aeration
to prevent waste water from returning
to the equipment. In the event that the
drain tube must be raised, it can be raised
a maximum of 1.5 metres, provided that
the minimum inlet pressure is 4 bar.
The drain tube must bend around the
Ergo valve anti-clockwise (see previous
figure). Failure to comply with these
instructions may result in damages in
a
the drain pipe and your new Ergo water
softener.

7. ERGO PROGRAMMER
1. Hardness adjustment knob.
2. Meter dial.
3. Regeneration activator.
4. Viewer for programming.
First, check that the hardness indicator
arrow is located in the round viewer (see
previous diagram). Otherwise, rotate
the inner dial for a full turn (see Manual
Regeneration further on).
