Water Softener
salt according to the model (see the table at paragraph 2.6)
• Position C (CLEANING)
Clean the lid and the seal (fig. 4, C) from any salt residue.
Clean the upper part of the water softener from any salt resi-
due and clean the tank and under the cover of the weld joint
of any leaked salt water.
The manufacturer does not take responsibility for the
corrosion of the tank caused by the failure to follow the-
se instructions.
4) Put the lid back on and tighten it.
• Position D (RINSING MODE)
5) Turn the water inlet tap lever (fig. 1, C) on the left
6) Let the salt water come out from the drain pipe until the
water is fresh (around 40 minutes)
• Position A (SERVICE MODE)
7) Put the water softener back in service mode by turning the
water outlet tap lever back on the left (fig.1, D)
WARNING: during the regeneration, the machine con-
nected to the water softener does not receive drinking
water.
5. MAINTENANCE FOR THE INSTALLER:
5.1 CHANGING THE RESINS
The resins' softening capacity ends after 5-7 years. This pe-
riod can change based on the characteristic of the feed water
and the quantity of softened water.
After this period of time, the user needs to decide if it is enou-
gh to change the resins or if it is better to change the water
softener itself.
To change the resins it is necessary to disconnect the water
softener and bring it to an appropriate place.
To disconnect the water softener:
1) Close the main water inlet tap (fig. 1, M)
2) Put the depressurization pipe in a bucket (fig. 1, E and fig.
4, Position B).
3) Turn the tap levers on the right, as in fig. 4, Position B.
4) Wait a few seconds until depressurization.
5) When water stops coming out of the depressurization pipe
(fig. 1, E) it is possible to unscrew the inlet and outlet pipes
(fig. 1, A and B) from the joints (fig. 3).
6) Open the lid (fig. 1, G) and change the resins. Clean the
interior of the tank before inserting the new resins.
Do not throw the exhausted resins in the sewers.
The resins are not biodegradable and must be considered a
non-hazardous waste (EU code CER 190905).
After changing the resins, clean the lid seal and the up-
per part of the softener from any resin residue.

7) Close the lid (fig. 1, G) and bring the softener back to its
installation place.
8) Connect the water inlet and outlet pipes to the joints (fig. 3)
and tighten them.
9) Rinse the resins as explained in paragraph 4.1.
5.2 RESIN PRESERVATION AND ACTIVATION
AFTER A LONG PERIOD OF INACTIVITY
If the water softener is not to be used for more than 30 days,
it is necessary to do a double regeneration first and then leave
the water softener with the lid (fig. 1, G) closed.
We suggest avoiding a period of inactivity longer than 12
months. It is forbidden to reactivate the system after this pe-
riod of inactivity.
If the period of inactivity is shorter than 12 months, it is ne-
cessary to rinse the resins and do a manual regeneration
(paragraph 4.1 and 4.2) before reactivating the equipment.

6. IMPROPER USE OF THE EQUIPMENT

This equipment has been created to soften drinking water for
domestic and technological use. The equipment must not be
used for any other purpose and it must not be modified or
tampered with in any way.
Any other use than the one specified in this manual is impro-
per and therefore dangerous.
The manufacturer cannot be considered responsible for any
damage caused by improper, mistaken or illogical use of the
equipment.
• It is forbidden to feed the equipment with any liquid other
than drinking water.
• It is forbidden to introduce in the tank any products other
than salt (NaCl)

7. EQUIPMENT DISPOSAL

Any waste must be disposed of according to the applicable
norms.
The water softener was built with non-hazardous materials
like polymers and stainless steel, and they must be disposed
of according to the applicable norms.
Do not throw the resins in the sewer.
The resins are not biodegradable. They are classified as
non-hazardous waste, and must be disposed of accordingly
(EU code CER 190905).
