04. COMPONENTS OF THE SOFTENING EQUIPMENT
Softening equipment is made up of the following elements (see installation scheme in fig. 1):
1. Sediment Filter (optional): This element containing a water filtering cartridge, which has the purpose of
retaining particles larger than 20 microns in suspension.
2. Valve: This element contains mechanisms to perform the automatic regeneration of resins, through a
programming system, either by time or by volume of water consumed.
3. Resin Bottle: This recipient containing ionic-exchange resins,
which are those which perform the softening process.
4. Salt Tank: This recipient is the accumulates salt. It's capacity
allows significant autonomy in salt replenishment, which is where
the brine necessary to the softening process is produced.
5. Sediment filter (optional): To retain possible resin leakage.
6. By-Pass: Three-key system which allows isolation of the softe-
ning equipment's general pipe, in case of a malfunction or
equipment maintenance. The function of the by-pass is to prevent
the passage of water through the softening equipment. This, it's not
necessary to cut off general network water flow when performing a filter change or repair.
Key B closed and keys A and C open: This is the position necessary for the water to go through
the softening equipment from the general network, so that softened water may be obtained.
Key B open and keys A and C closed: In this position, water does not go through the softening equipment;
however, in case of repair or maintenance, water will be available within the remainder of the installation.
