It is under the installer's responsibility to make
sure that the installation does not generate any
water hammer which could damage the proper
work of the softener.
Our softeners are equipped with a check valve
on the water inlet connection flange. The
check valve may exit the flange under extreme
operating and mounting conditions. To avoid
this phenomenon, it is mandatory to connect
the softener with flexible hoses (according to
diagram here below).
CAUTION : Do not insert a reduction or an
adapter between the softener connection flange
and the flexible hose. The flexible hose of the
same diameter as the flange must have a gasket
that keeps the check valve locked in its housing.
The numbers in bold refer to the marks in chapter INSTALLATION - OVERVIEW
Tighten the hydraulic block
The preliminary tightening of the hydraulic block upon the vessel is
crucial because untightening during transportation may have occurred.
Check the power outlet
Check that there is a power outlet of 230 V at less than 1.20 meters.
Install the pre-filter (7)
Place and connect the filter upstream from the softener.
Comply with the water flow direction as shown on the filter head.
Fix the filter head on the wall with the bracket, without tightening too
much the screws on the filter head.
