Water Softener

Safety Guidelines

1.  Follow the installation instructions.

2. Use the appliance
   • according to its intended use
   •in good condition
   • with due regard to safety and risk of danger.

3. Note that the appliance is exclusively for use in the applications detailed in these installation instructions. Any other use will not be considered to comply with requirements and would invalidate the warranty.

4. Please take note that any assembly, commissioning, servicing and adjustment work may only be carried out by authorized persons.

5. Immediately rectify any malfunctions which may influence safety.

Functional description

Hard or medium-hard drinking water contains large amounts of lime, which can deposit in pipes, fittings, and devices and result in irreparable damages.
KaltecSoft is based on the simple exchange of minerals. Cal- calcium, and magnesium is replaced by sodium, thus preventing additional scale build-up.

Scope of delivery

The water softener consists of:

• Cabinet in a modern, space-saving design
• Electronic regeneration system controlled by the volume
•  Control panel with status indicator
•  Bottle with monodisperse ion exchanger
• Connector adapter, incl. Bypass valve
• External transformer; the device is only fed with a protec- I’ve low voltage of 24 V
•  Filter combination FK06

Assembly

7.1 Installations Guidelines

• All works should only be carried out by a qualified person
• Ensure that installation is not subject to freezing or extreme heat
• A drain connection within five meters distance or two meters height must be available. The drain hose must not be kinked in any way as this will lead to an overflow of the device
• After the device has been installed, the time and the water hardness should be set on the appliance and a manual regeneration be initiated

If the supply pressure exceeds 8.0 bar, a pressure re- user has to be connected!
If the supply pressure exceeds 4 bar, it is recommended- ed to fit a pressure reducer upstream the device.
7.2 Assembly instructions
In order to avoid irreversible damages to the water conditioning device, all welding and soldering work in the immediate vicinity has to be completed prior to as- assembly!

1. Thoroughly flush pipework

2. Install the water conditioning device
   • Note flow direction (indicated by arrow)
   •Install without tension or bending stresses

3. Connect the water conditioning device

4.  Connect the sewerage tube to the discharge connection (inner tube ø min. 13 mm, 1/2″)
   Make sure the seal is fitted properly!

Commissioning

**Commissioning has to take place in the following order!
8.1 Flush and Deaerate**

1.  Set the water conditioning device to “Bypass” (handles to position cross)
2.  Open the main water supply
3. Open the nearest cold water tap and allow the water to run. Impurities and soldering remains are flushed out of the pipework
4. Set the water conditioning device to “Service” (handles to position straight)
5.  Deaerate the water conditioning device, a flush device for approx. 10 minutes
6.  Should the bypass unit be dripping, open and close again
7. Close the cold water tap

Noise development can occur during regeneration ue to incomplete deaerating. However, this will disappear after 2-3 regenerations!

8.2 Cabinet

1.  Remove covering cap and salt lid. The brine tube remains closed
2. Manually fill water into the cabinet The water level should be approx. 3 cm
3. Fill up the cabinet with a bag of block salt for softeners (according to DIN EN 973)
   Wait until the brine formation is sufficient (1h – 12h)!

8.3 Time Setting
1. Connect the mains plug to the power supply
o The power supply has to conduct continuous operating voltage and should not be connected to a switch
2. Set the time via the buttons
o The clock runs quicker when the buttons are held pressed

8.4 Determining Water Hardness
The raw water hardness can be requested from the responsible waterworks or determined via a hardness measuring instrument in the main water supply in front of the water conditioning device.

1.  Set the water conditioning device to “Bypass” (handles to position cross)
2. Take a water sample at the first draw-off station
3. Determine the water hardness via a hardness measuring instrument
4.  Set the water conditioning device to “Service” (handles to position straight)

8.5 Blending Setting
The desired residual hardness (mixing ratio between raw water and soft water) has to be set at the blending It is recommended that drinking water keeps a residual hardness of 1.0 mmol/l (equals 100 ppm CaCO3 or 6°dH)! The sodium content of the softened drinking water increases by 0.46 mg/l per ppm removed hardness (by 46 mg/l per mmol/l removed hardness), and must not exceed the limit value of 200 mg/l!

1. Open sampling point
2.  Remove cover from the adjustment knob
3.  Set blending
   o, Turn adjuster knob until the desired hardness is reached (recommended: 100 ppm)
   o, Do not turn in too far!

In position “closed” no untreated water was added to the soft water!
4. Fit cover to the adjustment knob
5. Close sampling point
6. The water conditioning device is ready for operation

8.6 Calculating the Set Value for capacity
A value for the capacity has to be set at the water conditioning the device according to the water hardness, and is calculated as follows:

**** Set value = Factor F : (Raw water – Residual Hardness) Factor F + Figure 8.6

Example 1:
Water conditioning device
Factor F for °dH unit
Raw water hardness
set residual hardness
Set value = 28.000 : (24-8)
Set value = 1.750
Example 2:
Water conditioning device
Factor F for °dH unit
Raw water hardness
set residual hardness
Set value = 42.000 : (19-5)
Set value = 3.000| PW50-AS
28.000
24 °dH
8 ° dH

8.7 Capacity Setting
1. Simultaneously press the buttons for 5 seconds
It is displayed, press no further buttons (test mode manufacturer)! Wait for approx. 10 seconds until the current time is redisplayed!

2. Enter the calculated set value via the buttons
3. Press the button three times to save the setting
8.8 Manual Regeneration
Press the button 5 seconds Manual regeneration starts immediately Flushing takes place via the drain tube during regeneration!
The total time required for all 4 regeneration phases is:
approx. 52 min/PW50-AS
approx. 77 min/PW50-BS
approx. 102 min/PW50-CS

Operation

9.1 Control Buttons, Display, and Indicators

9.2 Display during Operation
During normal operation, the time and residual capacity are displayed alternately
Time
Residual volume (liter)

9.3 Display during Regeneration
During regeneration, the active regeneration phase is displayed. In addition to the phase number, the remaining time of the active regeneration phase is also displayed. After all 4 regeneration phases have been completed, the water conditioning device returns to normal operation.
Regeneration Phase 2, Remaining time 27 Minutes

9.4 “Bypass” function
9.4.1″Bypass” position
In this position, the raw water is not softened
The raw water runs, via the bypass valve, through the connection adaptor back into the drinking water supply
9.4.2 “Service” position
In this position, the raw water is softened and blended with hard water as to the setting of the blending adjuster
9.4.3 Start-Up operation
For the first 1-2 week running period the brand-new water conditioning device is in the start-up operation.
During this period noise development can occur during regeneration but will automatically disappear after approx. 1-2 weeks
