Safety instructions:
1. Before installation the softener:
Please refer to the corresponding installation –and operation
instructions in this manual.
2. Please refer to the local installation regulations and the general
directives, in particular DIN 1988 and EN1717, also the valid accident
prevention regulations.
3. With not designated use and improper service the manufacturer is
released from any liability.
4. Before the installation please check the statics of the walls, covers and
grounds for loading capacity.
According to place of action a backflow must be installed
corresponding to local regulation before the arrangement.
For the protection of the central tax valves from rust, sand etc. a
suitable mudflap or fine filter should be inserted before the
arrangement. The filter pad of the fine filters should be exchanged
according to DINAR / DVGW at a distance of 6 months or after soiling.
Please ensure that no water damages are caused (e.g., by ground
expiry). The manufacturer is not liable for water damages .
The food water of the arrangement must correspond to the information
of the German drinking water order.
The room temperature must be at least 7°C and may not cross 50°C.
5. Changes in the system may not be made without consultation and
approval with evo-water oHG, for damages no other guarantee is
taken over.
6. The system serves exclusively for the removing of undesirable mineral
substances which retreat as a scale. It serves as a pure system
protection.

2. Precautions:
Make sure you have all necessary tools on hand before you begin with the
installation.
Follow all local legal regulations.
Read this manual carefully. If you have any questions or remarks, please
contact your Evo-water supplier.
Check incoming pressure: minimum 1 bar (dynamic), maximum 8 bar (static)
(15 PSI- 116 PSI). If necessary reduce incoming pressure.
Do not install the softener close to a heating source (environment
temperature must be below 50°C).
Protect softener and drain (12) against frost.
Make sure you have the latest installation manual at hand. Check with your
evo-water supplier.
3. Installation:
3.1 Close main valve and make sure pressure is released from piping. This can be
done by opening at least one tap.
3.2 Cut open main water supply in order to install direct connections to the
softener or to install the evo-water bypass (recommended). Follow the arrows
on both bypass and softener for water inlet and outlet.
Pay attention that the inlet filter doesn’t fall out.
3.2.1
with evo-water bypass with direct connections
The evo-water bypass has a ¾” connection. The direct connections on the
water softener are available in ½”, ¾” and 1”.

Caution: before installing the softener,
set the Bypass in “bypass” mode, not in
“service”.
3.2.2
Connect elbow or straight outlet (#12) to a local drain by means of a 13mm
flexible drain pipe as supplied by your local supplier. In order to guarantee
that the device will keep on functioning perfectly in the future, this drain pipe
should be spirally reinforced to avoid later blocking and/or kinks. Please
protect the drain against frost and heat (min. temp. 5°C, max. temp. 50°C).

CAUTION: For the installation of the flexible drain hose to the fixed piping,
please follow local legislation.
3.2.3
Connect the brine valve (#5) to the softener by means of a Ø4mm flexible
tube. Insert the tube as far as possible (to stop) into the quick-release
couplings. Make sure not to squeeze the tube; avoid kinks.
Make sure to install the supplied overflow tap. First, pierce a hole (Ø21mm) in the
side wall of the salt bin. The location of the hole is not important, make sure
however that it is approx. 10cm down from the top edge of the salt bin. Once the
hole has been drilled, mount the overflow tap and secure it with the supplied nut.
After drilling, remove all bits of plastic that have fallen into the salt bin. A separate
instruction leaflet with detailed information has been added to the device.

3.3 Place the softener in the salt bin;
use the side with the round
opening (for correct installation,
see 3.4). To install the brine valve,
open the cover by pressing it
gently at both sides. Now put the
brine valve in the provided space,
with the top side up. Make sure
that the brine valve goes all the
way down to the bottom of the salt
bin. Make sure not to squeeze the
tube; avoid kinks. Disconnect if
necessary, and reconnect correctly.
Close the cover.
3.4 The device can be installed in the container in three different ways: at the
back, to the left or to the right. The support at the bottom of the container
must be placed accordingly. Please refer to the figures on the following page.

3.4.1 Connections at the back:
The arrow on the support in the container must be pointing to the back. Place
the device in the container with the connections at the back, as shown below.
3.4.2 Connections to the left:
As in 3.4.1.

3.4.3 Connections to the right:
As in 3.4.1.
4. Settings:
4.1 Hardness regulator:
=part number 9 on the illustration on page 1
Measure the hardness of incoming water by means of a hardness test kit (if
required supplied by evo-water). evo-water uses ppm settings of CaCO3. (10
ppm CaCO3= 1°fh) (1°dh = 1,78°fh)
Adjust the hardness regulator to the measured value. This requires a hex key number 5.

4.2 Blending regulator:
= part number 8 on the illustration on page 1
With the blending regulator, you can
determine the outgoing hardness.
Depending on the desired residual
hardness, set outgoing hardness
with a hex key number 5. The
setting is proportional, i.e. 1/10 –
1/5 –1/… of total incoming
hardness.
5. Start up:
5.1. Leave Bypass in “bypass” mode, open main valve and flush for several
minutes in order to avoid impurities from entering the softener. When you do
not use a Bypass, open the main valve slowly as described in 5.4.
5.2. Fill salt bin with salt in the provided
space. Use only specific salt
tablets that are suitable for
softeners.
5.3. Add water in the salt bin until the
water level is approx. 10cm (4”) high.
(the floater on the brine valve must be
afloat)
5.4. Turn the bypass slowly to “service”
mode. Open the main valve when you do not use a Bypass.

5.5. Open a tap behind the softener so a flow runs through it. Some air may flow
from the tap; this comes from the softener. This will happen only once; at
start-up. Once only water flows from the tap, and no more air, close the tap.
5.6. Perform a manual regeneration.
5.6.1.
Use a hex key number 5 to turn the program disk (PRG) manually.

Turn programm counter clockwise until it is in above position. When the arrow
and the small line on the transparent cover reach the area marked by “B”
(brining), the regeneration will start. Immediately, the PRG will drop down a
little (you will be able to see and hear this). “R” stands for refill (refilling the
container with water at the end of the regeneration stage). To make sure the
softener is in regeneration, there should be a small water flow to the drain,
and the water level in the container should drop.

5.6.2.
Let regeneration perform until it stops automatically. The estimated time is
approx. 12 minutes. When regeneration has stopped, no more water flows to
the drain. This is a clear indication that the regeneration stage is over.
5.6.3.
Open a tap behind the softener for several minutes to allow residual water to
be flushed from the tubing.
5.6.4.
Check outgoing hardness with a “hardness test kit” (not supplied by evo-
water). Adjust blending if necessary.
5.7. Place both lids on the container. First the valve house cover; make sure the
connections fit in the large opening and the drain in the small opening. Then
place the front lid. For future salt refills, only the front lid has to be removed.
Don’t forget to connect the overflow to the drain.

REMARKS:
It is recommended that a water softener is installed by a professional. Although the Softener
is probably the easiest and safest softener on the market, it is imperative that all necessary
precautions are taken and local legislation is followed.
This installation guide is written to help the professional installer keeping in mind that this
person has essential knowledge about hydraulic softeners and domestic plumbing.
Proper working of the softener will be determined by proper installation.
An annual control of your Softener will guarantee optimal functioning and a long operating
life.
The EVO-WATER oHG is proud of its achievement in having provided in what we
believe to be the best softener available today.
Moreover, we are proud to have you as a customer. We will do our utmost to
deserve your trust.
