1.1 Intended Use
The HygroMatik cabinet ion exchanger device (softener device)
is ment for the production of soft water. It may only be used
according to its intended use.
Caution: Proper use includes fulfilment of the assembly, disas-
sembly, reassembly, start-up, operating and maintenance condi-
tions specified by us as well as disposal measures.
Only appointed qualified staff may work on or with the system.
Persons transporting or working on or with the system must
have read and understood the relevant parts of this operating
manual, particularly the 'Safety instructions' section. Staff must
also be informed of possible hazards by the operating company.

WaterLine softener device utilization
• The intended case of application is the operation within the
area of drinking water supply.
• All TVO (Trinkwasserverordnung = Drinking Water Ordi-
nance) limit and guide values must be respected. The

Page 6
iron (Fe) content limit is 0.2 mg/l, max. manganese (Mn) is
0.05 mg/l
• For use with raw water with a iron and/or manganese
content exceeding these limits, only HygroMatik WaterLine
softeners of the WL-DP family type are suited
• The softener device must not be operated outside in the
exterior
•Frost protection and humidity protection must be ensu-
red
• Allowable environmental temperature is 5 - 40 °C with a
max. r.h. of 60 percent
• Use of a system separator according to EN 1717 (former
DIN 1998, part 4) is obligatory
• Optimum flow pressure of teh device is 4.0 bar
Please note: For protection of the softener device, a water fil-
ter according to DIN 13443-1 implemented in front of the water
intake is obligatory. Without such a filter the ion exchanger resin
might silt-up within short periods of time. Also, the control valve
might get damaged by dirt ingress.

General safety instructions for working on the HY-EKB20
softener device
Caution: Prior to working on the softener device water supply
must be cut
Caution: The device may be under pressure. Prior to working
on the device pressure must be released.
2.2 Safety instructions for the installation and
start-up of the softener device
• Integration of the softener device into the house water
installation scenario must only be carried out by an expert
company for drinking water treatment. Local and regional
regulations must by obeyed without exemption
• The electrical connection and programming of the softener
device may only be made by trained personnel

Page 8
• Please also consider water flow pressure in your supply
situation. The allowable pressure range is 2.5 to 7.0 bar. If
pressure lies above that, a pressure reducer must be
installed
•Asaprotection against water damage, a gully is recom-
mended. If not available, alternatively a water-stop may
be used
• The installation ground must be imperatively level and dry.
The device is to be placed in a way that tilting by acciden-
tal impact is not possible
• Please consider adequate distance to heat sources
• We recommend the sole use of pipes made from plastic
or stainless steel. Zinc plated water pipes are note suited
for use with zero hardness water

Operational safety
• For your own safety regularly inspect connecting pipes
and hoses to minimize the risk of flooding
• Check the brine tank in a regular time frame to make sure
that regeneration salt is always available in sufficient
volume in order not to limit the functional capability of the
device

Page 9

electrical components with wet hands.
Switch off the system immediately if faults in the electrical
energy supply occur.
Only use original fuses with the specified amperage.
Inspect the system's electrical equipment at regular intervals.
Promptly eliminate deficiencies, such as loose connections or
melted cables. After carrying out the corresponding electrical
assembly or maintenance work, test all protective measures
used (e.g. earth resistance).
