REMARK
When you choose your softener location, please take into account the following parameters :
1) Install your ATAG Descale softener in a chosen place on a flat firm and clean surface. Your ATAG
Descale softener must be close to a drain line to allow an easy connection and check there is
an electrical earth grounded plug to power the unit.
2) During cold weather, it is recommended to bring your ATAG Descale softener back to room
temperature before operation. During hot weather, do not install your ATAG Descale softener in
direct sunlight or in a room with a temperature above 45°C
3) All plumbing for the water inlet, distribution and drain lines should be done correctly in
accordance with the legislation in force at the time of the installation. The pipe size for the drain
line should be a minimum of 20 mm (
4) All the soldering on the main plumbing and to the drain line should be done before connecting the
ATAG Descale softener. Failing to do so can cause irreversible damage. For any maintenance,
shut down water inlet, unplug your ATAG Descale softener and open the taps at the top and at
the bottom of your house to drain your installation.
5) Manually add water in brine tank above the aircheck (around 10 liters). Do not fill with salt at the
moment.
6) Place your ATAG Descale softener in the by-pass position. Turn on the main water supply. Open
a cold soft water tap nearby and let run a few minutes or until your ATAG Descale softener is
free from any foreign material (usually solder) that may have resulted from the installation. Once
clean, close the water tap.
