Water Softener
Installation Manual

Introduction
Thank you for purchasing your eSoft Pro Water Softener. The Clack CI valve with which your water
softener is tted has been selected to provide the best eciency & performance possible. Only
attempt this installation if you have been trained on the installation of water softeners.
Packing List
Your water softener comprises of:
Assembled eSoft Water Softener
Transformer
¾” quick connect ttings
Overow adaptor
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 between 1.7 and 5 bar pressure. If your water 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 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. If the system is
installed externally, take necessary precautions to prevent frost damage.
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.
O v e r  o w : 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 litres 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 ans slowly discharging to the drain. . 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 softened water.
Fill the unit with salt. Monitor the salt level on a regular basis & ll if required.
