4. Installation Instructions
Testing water hardness and
setting the water softener (salt):
Hydrim is equipped with a built-in water softening
system which needs to be adjusted according to the
local water hardness. The Hydrim water test kit
includes three water hardness test strips in bags. Take
awater sample from the location where the machine
will be installed. Open one of the bags and remove the
test strip. Dip the strip in the water. Compare the color
of the strip with the chart on the back of the bag.
Determine the water hardness according to the chart
on the water test kit envelope. Power the unit on. Touch
the “i” in the lower right hand corner of the sceen.
Select “Setup” and then “Set Regeneration”. Using the
up and down arrows, set the water softener
regeneration
level according
to this table:
Connecting the water inlet hoses:
Connect the hot water hose (red) to the hot inlet valve on
the Hydrim (indicated by a red dot) and the cold water
hose (blue) to the cold water inlet valve on the Hydrim
(indicated by a blue dot).
The connector with the elbow should be attached to the
back of the Hydrim unit. The washer with the screen
goes to the water supply connector. Make sure that the
inlet valves are free of debris.
Drain requirements:
Connect the drain hose to the drain outlet. The drain
hose can be attached to existing drain lines using a
3.5 cm or larger standpipe / P-trap combination. If the
hose is connected directly to the drain line, fittings and
adapters should not reduce water flow. The drain hose
should be attached to the main drain at a point no more
than 1 metre above the base of the Hydrim. A floor drain
is acceptable (check local codes).
Levelling the Hydrim:
For the unit to function properly, it will need to be
correctly levelled. Tolevel the unit, follow these steps:
1. Adjust the legs underneath the unit.
2. Use the levelling bubble on the top
right hand side as a guide.
3. When the bubble is in the centre,
the unit is correctly levelled.
Installing Cleaning Solution:
Ensure that the quick-connect cap on the HIP Cleaning
Solution bottle is tight. Install the bottle and loosen the
screw-cap slightly to prevent formation of a vacuum.
Additional Information:
• The Hydrim unit is heavy (34 kg). Exercise caution when moving it.
• The Hydrim must be properly grounded.
• The Hydrim is equipped with an air gap / anti-suction device to prevent backflow of dirty water into the water supply. No
other air gap device is necessary.
• If you need to extend the water inlet and drain hoses, ensure that you use commercial grade plumbing hose. The
maximum length of the drain hose is 3.3 m.
Pour 0.5 litre of water into
the water softener by
pouring it into the salt
container and inserting it
into the chamber wall. Add
0.5 kg of water softening
salt in the same manner.
Screw the salt container
tightly into the wall of the
chamber.
Installation Test:
Turn on the shut-off valves. Run a test cycle, checking
for leaks.
