Installation Instructions
Firstly, the area needs to be level, have access to electricity and an open drain. Your Water
Softener has been designed to operate at between 1.7 and 5 Bar pressure. If your pressure falls
outside these parameters it may be necessary to t a booster pump or a Pressure Reducing Valve
to prevent damage to the unit. The operating temperature range of the appliance is 3°C and
45°C. Follow the instructions supplied to connect the ¾”quick connect ttings.
Please observe the local regulations concerning the installation of your system. Check that you
have allowed space for access to the unit for possible future maintenance. This installation may
require plumbing work and will require an electrical outlet to be tted near the system. Only
attempt this installation if you have been trained on the installation of water softeners.
Inlet: This is the water supply from the mains or
other. Always install a suitable prelter on well water
supplies.
Outlet:This is the softened water leaving the softener
to supply the rest of the house.
Drain: This is the water used during regeneration
which is ushed to drain. This water will be at mains
pressure and must be taken directly to a waste-pipe
with an air gap.
Overow: This is used in the event of an over-ll of
water to the salt cabinet. This should always be taken
directly to a waste-pipe with an air gap. Install the
supplied overow tting by drilling a 20mm hole.
Its recommended to install the overow 2-3 inches
below the salt lid of the cabinet.

Commissioning your water softener
With the softener now programmed, press & hold“Regen” until the
motor begins to turn. When the motor stops the screen will appear as
in Fig 4. Now, open the inlet valve slowly to allow the softener ll with
water. At this point water will discharge to the drain and purge any air
from the system.
Manually ll the internal salt tank with 10 litrs of water. When the air is
purged from the system press“REGEN”once to advance to the next cycle,
the screen will appear as in Fig 5. The system is now drawing water from
the internal tank. Take the time to observe the water level dropping
(which happens very slowly). This is vital as it ensures the system can
regenerate and operate correctly. If the system will not draw water from
the internal tank ensure the ttings are tight and re-do steps 1 & 2.
Press“REGEN”once, when the motor stops the screen will appear as in
Fig 6. Monitor this cycle for a moment to ensure water ows well to drain.
Press“REGEN” once, when the motor stops the screen will appear as in
Fig 7. At this point the system is relling the internal salt tank. Take a
moment to ensure the water level rises sueciently.
Press“REGEN” once, when the motor stops it the system is in HOME
position and ready to oer softenerd water.
