- Programming - Maintenance
- Procedures to follow after a period of inactivity of the equi-
pment
- Equipment disposal - Solutions to some problems
• For the User:
- Salt refilling
- Instructions for the periodic rinsing of the resins

- Health and hygiene warnings concerning the water produ-
ced by the equipment
The manual also gives you the guidelines to avoid an impro-
per use of the equipment and it specifies the installer and
the user's responsibilities, therefore we suggest reading
through this manual before installing or using the water
softener.
If the dispositions are not followed, the manufacturer will de-
cline responsibility for any damage caused to people, things or

tions.
2) ABOUT THE EQUIPMENT
2.1 HOW DOES IT WORK?
The cationic resins in the softener's tank transform calcium
carbonate in sodium carbonate, which is water-soluble at the
working temperatures of both coffee makers and ice makers
machines.
The transfer of sodium ions between the resins and water is
imperative to soften drinking water, but this process tends to
decline in proportion to the flow rate and the consumption
of water. For this reason, it is necessary to regenerate the
exhausted resins by making water and salt flow through them,
therefore returning them to their active state.
The resins gradually lose their cationic function, and con-
se-quently their efficiency, with each regeneration. We re-
com-mend replacing them after seven years of use. To gua-
rantee the correct functioning of the resins, it is impor-tant to
periodically refill the salt in the brine tank (fig. 14).
The salt will be automatically taken, in the form of salt water,
during the regeneration cycle.
- In case If there is no more salt in the brine tank, the water
softener will alert the user to refill the container with visual
and/or acoustic signals.
2.2 EQUIPMENT DESCRIPTION
The main components of the water softener are:
• 1 valve at 5-cycles ALIA model with the following characte-
ristics:

- The settings are available in 5 languages
- It performs the various steps to activation independently
using the "installation" program - Resins can be rinsed
using the "resin rinse" function
