ROUTINE CHECKS
Regularly the user should perform a basic check to verify if
the multi-purpose water filter is functioning correctly, on the
basis of the following control points:
1. Check settings of electronic control panel.
2. Check water composition before/after multi-purpose
water filter.
3. Check drain line from control valve; there shouldn’t be
any water flow (unless multi-purpose water filter is in
regeneration).
4. Check drain line from brine tank overflow; there
shouldn’t be any water flow.
5. Check multi-purpose water filter and surrounding area;
there shouldn’t be any water leakages.
BYPASSING THE MULTI-PURPOSE WATER FILTER
Occasionally it may be necessary to put the multi-purpose
water filter hydraulically in bypass, i.e. to isolate it from the
water distribution system; f.e.:
in case of an urgent technical problem;
when it is not necessary to supply treated water to the
application.

WATER CONDITIONER SALT
This multi-purpose water filter needs 'brine' for its periodic
regenerations. This brine solution is made from water, that
is automatically dosed in the brine tank by the control valve,
and water conditioner salt. The user should make sure that
the brine tank is always kept full of water conditioner salt.
Therefore he should periodically check the salt level inside
the brine tank and refill it if necessary. Simply lift the brine
tank cover to check the salt level inside the brine tank.
remplissage.
Ideally the level of water conditioner salt inside the brine
tank is kept between 1/3 and 2/3. A lower level of water
conditioner salt can cause insufficient brine saturation,
resulting in a loss of softening capacity. A higher level of
water conditioner salt can cause salt bridging (hard crust or
salt bridges in the brine tank). When you suspect salt
bridging:
carefully pound on the outside of the brine tank to break
loose the salt bridges;
using a broom (or like blunt tool) carefully push the salt
to break it apart;
pour warm water over the top of the salt to dissolve it.
RESIN CLEANER
Other contaminants present in the feed water can cause the
filter media (especially the ion exchange resin) to foul up,
resulting in a loss of capacity. An approved resin cleaner can
be used periodically to thoroughly clean the filter media.
SANITIZING THE MULTI-PURPOSE WATER FILTER
This multi-purpose water filter is manufactured from
premium quality material and assembled in safe conditions
to assure it is clean and sanitary. If installed and serviced
correctly, this multi-purpose water filter will not infect or
contaminate your water supply. However, as in any 'device'
plumbed-in in your water distribution system, a proliferation
of bacteria is possible, especially in case of 'stagnant water'.
Therefore this multi-purpose water filter is equipped with a
'days override' feature, that will automatically rinse the filter
media periodically, even in case of low or absence of water
usage.
If the power supply to the multi-purpose water filter is
disconnected for a longer period of time, we recommend,
when the power supply is re-established, to manually initiate
a complete regeneration.
