Funcions del tauler de control:

  • Botó Menú/Confirmar: Used to set time, date, or water hardness levels. Press to enter menu options and confirm selections.
  • Manual/Return Button: Activates a manual regeneration cycle. Also used to return to the previous screen or exit menu options without saving.
  • Fletxes amunt/avall: Navigate through settings and adjust values on the display.

Refer to the detailed programming section in the full manual for specific instructions on setting water hardness, time, and regeneration schedules. The system's predictive algorithm will automatically manage regeneration based on your household's water usage.

Manteniment

Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance and longevity of your water softener system.

  • Salt Level Monitoring: Periodically check the salt level in the brine tank. Ensure it remains above the water level and is refilled with high-quality salt pellets as needed. Avoid overfilling to prevent salt bridges.
  • Salt Bridge Prevention: If a hard crust of salt forms in the brine tank (a "salt bridge"), carefully break it up with a blunt object to allow proper salt dissolution.
  • Inspecció del filtre: If your system includes pre-filters, inspect and clean or replace them regularly to prevent sediment buildup and maintain water pressure.
  • Neteja del sistema: Occasionally clean the brine tank to remove any residue or sludge.

No Soft Water?

  • Check the bypass valve to ensure it is not set to bypass mode.
  • Verify the salt tank has sufficient salt.
  • Confirm the system is not currently in the middle of a regeneration cycle.

Low Water Pressure?

  • This could be due to clogged filters or sediment buildup. Check and clean the filters.

Excessive Salt Usage?

  • Adjust the hardness settings according to your water's actual hardness level.
  • Ensure the system is sized appropriately for your household's water usage.

Leaks?
