INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
PRE-INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Contact Eureka Forbes Authorised agent to have a complete water analysis and check your water hardness
on your water supplier, this will keep your water softener in proper working.
DETERMINE THE CORRECT LOCATION OF THE AWS C2500 DX WATER SOFTENER.
Select the location of your softener with care. Review the various conditions below to
determine a proper location:
1. Locate as close as possible to the water supply source.
2.
3.
4.
Softener should be located in the supply line before the water heater. Temperatures above
120°F damage softeners.
5.
Do not install a softener in a location where freezing temperatures occur. Freezing may
cause permanent damage to this type of equipment and will void the factory warranty.
6. Additional plumbing is required if your water source is a community water supply, a public water supply
or you wish to bypass water used for a geothermal heat pump, lawn sprinkling, out-buildings or
high demand applications. (Refer Fig. 1)

WATER BYPASS
In case of an emergency such as softener maintenance, you can isolate your water softener from
the water supply using the bypass valve located at the back of the control. In normal operation
the bypass is open with the ON/OFF knobs in line with the INLET and OUTLET pipes. To isolate the
softener, simply rotate the knobs to the BYPASS position.
You can use your water related fixtures and appliances as the watersupply is bypassing the
softener. However, the water you use will be hard. To resume treated service, open the bypass valve
by rotating the knobs to SERVICE position.
Please make sure bypass knobs are completely open otherwise the unsoftened water
could bypass through the valve.

INTELLIMIX TECHNOLOGY

1. Rotate the IntelliMix nut in a clockwise
direction. The bigger rotation angle, the higher
water hardness in product valve.
2. Rotate the IntelliMix nut anti clockwise to
close it completely.
If the unit is installed in a water supply with less input hardness, the output water will be too soft. To
avoid this, a unique IntelliMix feature has been provided. By adjusting this IntelliMix nut clockwise,
hardness of the output water can be increased.

SYSTEM INFORMATION PAGE
OPERATION DURING A POWER FAILURE
In the event of a power failure, the valve will keep track of the time and day. The programmed settings
are stored in a non-volatile memory and will not be lost during a power failure. If power fails while the
unit is in regeneration, the valve will finish regeneration from the point it is as at once power is restored.
If the valve misses a scheduled regeneration due to a power failure, it will queue a regeneration at the
next regeneration time once power is restored.

5. Slowly open the inlet knob on the bypass valve with the bypass tool supplied and allow water
to enter the unit. Allow all air to escape from the unit before turning the bypass fully open. Then
allow water to run to drain for 3-4 minutes or until all media fines are washed out of the conditioner
indicated by clear water in the drain hose. Open a cold soft water tap nearby and let water run a few
minutes or until the system is free of foreign material resulting from the plumbing work. Close the
water tap when water runs clean.

MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS
CHECK THE SALT LEVEL
Adequately check the salt level. Remove the lid from the cabinet or brine tank, make sure salt level is
always above the brine level.
YOU SHOULD NOT BE ABLE TO SEE WATER IN THE CABINET OR BRINE
TANK.
BRIDGING
Humidity or the wrong type of salt may create a cavity between the water and the salt. This action,
known as ‘bridging’, prevents the brine solution from being made, leading to your water supply being
hard.
If you suspect salt bridging, carefully pound on the outside of the plastic cabinet or pour some warm
water over the salt to break up the bridge. This should always be followed up by allowing the unit to use
up any remaining salt and then thoroughly cleaning out the cabinet. Allow four hours to produce a brine
solution, then manually regenerate the softener.
ADDING SALT
Use only clean salt labeled for water conditioner use, such as crystal, pellet, nugget, button or solar. The
use of rock salt is discouraged because it contains insoluble silt and sand which build up in the brine
tank and can cause problems with the system’s operation. Add the salt directly to the tank, filling no
higher than the top of the brine well.

Add Salt
The system needs salts to regenerate its capacity. Please check the salt storage in time during usage
and keep unmelted salt in the brine tank. Open the system's slide and put salt into the tank equably.
It is recommended you add 3-4 kg salt in each exhausted cycle. Don’t pour/dispose the brine solution
on lawns, septic tanks, or use to water plants. Dispose properly in a safe place / intended
