Maintenance - Ultra Eco Instructions D'installation Et D'emploi

ROUTINE CHECKS
Regularly the user should perform a basic check to verify if
the water softener is functioning correctly, on the basis of
the following control points:
1. Check settings of electronic control panel.
2. Measure water hardness before/after water softener.
3. Check drain line from control valve; there shouldn't be
any water flow (unless water softener is in
regeneration).
4. Check drain line from cabinet overflow; there
shouldn't be any water flow.
5. Check water softener and surrounding area; there
shouldn't be any water leakages.
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;
•
when it is not necessary to supply treated water to the
•
house/application (refill swimming pool, irrigation,...).

WATER CONDITIONER SALT
Picture 11
The water softener needs 'brine' for its periodic
regenerations. This brine solution is made from water, that
is automatically dosed in the brine cabinet by the control
valve, and water conditioner salt. The user should make
sure that the brine cabinet is always kept full of water
conditioner salt. Therefore he should periodically check
the salt level inside the brine cabinet and refill it if
necessary. The salt lid can be removed completely to
facilitate refilling.
Ideally the level of water conditioner salt inside the brine
cabinet is kept between 1/3 and 2/3. A lower level of
water conditioner salt can cause insufficient brine
saturation, resulting in a loss of softening capacity. A
higher level of water conditioner salt can cause salt
bridging (hard crust or salt bridges in the brine cabinet).
When you suspect salt bridging:
1. carefully pound on the outside of the brine cabinet to
break loose the salt bridges;
2. using a broom (or like blunt tool) carefully push the
salt to break it apart;
3. pour warm water over the top of the salt to dissolve it.
BRINE CABINET
To retain the appearance of the water softener, simply
wipe it with a damp cloth or clean it with a mild soap
solution; never use abrasive cleaners, ammonia or
solvents.
RESIN CLEANER
Other contaminants (f.e. iron) present in the feed water
can cause the resin bed to foul up, resulting in a loss of
softening capacity. An approved resin cleaner can be used
periodically to thoroughly clean the resin bed.
SANITIZING THE WATER SOFTENER
This water softener is manufactured from premium quality
material and assembled in safe conditions to assure it is
clean and sanitary. If installed and serviced correctly, this
water softener will not infect or contaminate your water
supply. However, as in any 'device' plumbed-in in your
water distribution system, a proliferation of bacteria is
possible, especially in case of 'stagnant water'. Therefore
this water softener is equipped with a 'days override'
feature, that will automatically rinse the resin bed
periodically, even in case of low or absence of water
usage.
If the power supply to the water softener is disconnected
for a longer period of time, we recommend, when the
power supply is re-established, to manually initiate a
complete regeneration.
