user:
• do not remove the locking bar;
• be careful of high voltages present on the transformer (230V);
• do not put your fingers in the system (risk of injuries with moving parts and shock due to electric
voltage).
2.4. Hygiene and sanitization
2.4.1. Sanitary issues
Preliminary checks and storage
• Check the integrity of the packaging. Check that there is no damage and no signs of contact with
liquid to make sure that no external contamination occurred;
• the packaging has a protective function and must be removed just before installation. For
transportation and storage appropriate measures should be adopted to prevent the
contamination of materials or objects themselves.

Assembly
• Assemble only with components which are in accordance with drinking water standards;
• after installation and before use, perform one or more manual regenerations in order to clean
the media bed. During such operations, do not use the water for human consumption. Perform a
disinfection of the system in the case of installations for treatment of drinking water for human
use.
Note
This operation must be repeated in the case of ordinary and extraordinary maintenance. It
should also be repeated whenever the system remains idle for a significant time.
Note
Valid only for Italy: In case of equipment used in accordance with the DM25, apply all the
signs and obligations arising from the DM25.
2.4.2. Hygiene measures
Disinfection
• The materials used for the construction of our products meet the standards for use with potable
water; the manufacturing processes are also geared to preserving these criteria. However, the
process of production, distribution, assembly and installation, may create conditions of bacterial
proliferation, which may lead to odor problems and water contamination;
• it is therefore strongly recommended to sanitize the products. See 7.2. Sanitization, page 60;
• maximum cleanliness is recommended during the assembly and installation;
• for disinfection, use Sodium or Calcium Hypochlorite and perform a manual regeneration.

3.1.1. Performance flow rate characteristics (single valve)
The graph shows the pressure drop created by the valve itself at different flow rates. It makes it
possible to predetermine the maximum flow rate going through the valve depending on the system
settings (inlet pressure etc). It also makes it possible to determine the valve pressure drop at a given
flow rate, and therefore to evaluate the system pressure drop vs flow rate.

3.4. Options available on the valve
3.4.1. Autotrol Logix residential/commercial series auxiliary microswitch kits
The Logix residential/commercial series switch kits allow you to provide an electrical signal during
the valve operation. The switches can be wired independently in N.O or NC. The switches are available
for 0.1 Amp or 5 Amp rating.
3.4.1.1 Front mount
The microswitch is mounted behind the controller at the front end of the camshaft. The cam for this
switch is screwed to the front of the camshaft. This cam can be adjusted to activate the microswitch
on any position upon your needs.
To install this front mount microswitch:
No. Operation
APlace the valve into the position during which you need the signal.
B
Remove the cover and the controller.
See chapters 9.4.1. First steps, page 69, 9.4.7. Disassembling valve from tank, page 73 and
9.4.9. Optical sensor and controller replacement, page 75.
CScrew switch base to top plate using the switch guide pin over screw boss.
DInstall the cam so that the microswitch pin is released and screw the cam using a self-
tapping screw.

3.4.1.2 Top plate mount
The microswitch is located under the cover and is screwed to the top plate. The switch is turned on/
off by a cam lobe on the camshaft. Its function is to signal that the unit is in-service or out-of-service
(regenerating). Actually, the microswitch is actuated during service position. As a result, depending
on the wiring N.O or N.C, the signal will be given either during the complete service period or during
the complete regeneration time.
To install this top plate microswitch:
No. Operation
ARemove the cover.
See chapters 9.4.1. First steps, page 69 and 9.4.7. Disassembling valve from tank, page 73.
BConnect wires.
CUse self-tapping screws to secure the switch base to the blind boss top plate.
DAdjust microswitch distance to the camshaft.

3.5. System regeneration cycle (8-cycles operation)
Service (downflow) — cycle C0
Untreated water is directed down through the resin bed and up through the riser tube. The hardness
ions attach themselves to the resin and are removed from the raw water being exchanged on the resin
beads towards sodium ions. The water is conditioned as it passes through the resin bed.
Backwash (upflow) — cycle C1
The flow of water is reversed by the valve and directed down the riser tube and up through the resin
bed. During the backwash cycle, the bed is expanded and debris is flushed to the drain, while the
media bed is remixed.
Brine (downflow) — cycle C2
The controller directs water through the brine injector and brine is drawn from the brine tank. The
brine is then directed down through the resin bed and up through the riser tube to the drain. The
hardness ions are displaced by sodium ions and are sent to the drain. The resin is regenerated during
the brine cycle. When the air check valve closes brine drawing finishes, and then the slow rinse phase
starts.
Slow rinse (downflow) — cycle C3
Repressurize cycle (hard water bypass flapper open) — cycle C4
This cycle allows the air and water to hydraulically balance in the valve before continuing the
regeneration.
Fast rinse (downflow) — cycle C5
The controller value directs water down through the resin bed and up through the riser tube to the
drain. Any residual brine is rinsed from the resin bed, while the media bed is re-compacted.
2nd Backwash (upflow) — cycle C6
2nd Fast rinse (downflow) — cycle C7
Brine refill — cycle C8
Water is directed to the brine tank at a rate controlled by the refill controller, to create brine for the
next regeneration. During brine refill, treated water is already available at the valve outlet.
Note
For illustration purpose only. Always verify inlet and outlet marking on the valve.
