The softener installation involves the elements listed and pictured here below. Please refer to the Scope of Delivery sheet, which specifies which
elements are delivered with your softener.
1. Softener
2. Controller unit
3. Salt tank
4. Salt tank lid
5. Brine valve
6. Power supply
7. Pre-filter
8. Drain tube
9. Brining tube
10. Salt tank overflow
11. Siphon
12. Bypass
13. Hoses In/Out mandatory
14. Tap for gardening usage
15. Clamps
It is under the installer's responsibility to make
sure that the installation does not generate any
water hammer which could damage the proper
work of the softener.
Our softeners are equipped with a check valve
on the water inlet connection flange. The
check valve may exit the flange under extreme
operating and mounting conditions. To avoid
this phenomenon, it is mandatory to connect
the softener with flexible hoses (according to
diagram here below).
We also recommend to install a leak detection
system (e.g. BWT AQAStop).
CAUTION : Do not insert a reduction or an
adapter between the softener connection flange
and the flexible hose. The flexible hose of the
same diameter as the flange must have a gasket
that keeps the check valve locked in its housing.
