Slika 5.1: How the System Works. This diagram shows hard city water entering the system, undergoing an ion exchange process in the softener tank, and then exiting as soft water to the home. It also illustrates the automatic regeneration cycle where a brine solution flushes the resin beads.

1. Shut off Water: Izklopite glavno oskrbo z vodo v vašem domu.
2. Install Bypass Valve: Connect the bypass valve to your main water line. The system includes a 1-inch yoke for easy connection.
3. Connect Softener Tank: Attach the control head to the softener tank. Ensure the top distributor tube is properly seated.
4. Connect Brine Tank: Position the brine tank near the softener tank. Connect the 5-foot brine line from the control head to the brine tank.
5. Drain Line Connection: Connect the 15-foot drain line from the control head to a suitable drain. Ensure an air gap is maintained to prevent back-siphoning.
6. Električna povezava: Plug the AC power adapter into the control head and then into a grounded electrical outlet.
7. Začetni zagon: Slowly open the bypass valve to allow water to fill the softener tank. Check for leaks.
8. Program Control Head: Follow the instructions for your specific control head model to set the time, water hardness, and regeneration cycles.

6. Navodila za uporabo

Your PRO+AQUA water softener operates automatically once properly installed and programmed. The smart digital control valve monitors water usage and initiates regeneration cycles as needed.

6.1 Control Head Programming

• Set Time of Day: Accurately set the current time. This is important for scheduled regeneration cycles.
• Trdota vode: Input your water hardness level (in Grains Per Gallon - GPG). This value is critical for the system to calculate when regeneration is required.
• Čas regeneracije: Set the preferred time for regeneration, typically during periods of low water usage (e.g., 2:00 AM).
• Salt Dosage: The control valve automatically calculates the optimal salt and water needs for regeneration, minimizing waste.

6.2 Automatic Regeneration Cycle

The system performs an automatic regeneration cycle to replenish the resin beads. During this cycle, a brine solution flushes through the resin, removing captured hardness minerals and discharging them to the drain. Softened water is then restored for use.

7. Vzdrževanje

Regular maintenance ensures your water softener continues to provide soft water efficiently.

7.1 Salt Replenishment

• Check Salt Level: Periodically check the salt level in the brine tank. It should always be above the water level, ideally at least halfway full.
• Dodajte sol: Use high-quality water softener salt (pellets, crystals, or solar salt). Do not use rock salt or ice melt.
• Salt Bridge: If a hard crust of salt forms in the brine tank (a 'salt bridge'), break it up carefully with a broom handle or similar tool to ensure proper brine formation.

7.2 System Cleaning

• Čiščenje rezervoarja za slanico: It is recommended to clean the brine tank annually to remove any sediment or insoluble materials. Bypass the softener, drain the brine tank, clean it, and then refill with salt and water.
• Resin Cleaner: Consider using a resin cleaner periodically, especially if you have high iron content in your water, to maintain resin efficiency.

7.3 Splošni pregled

• Preverite puščanje: Regularly inspect all connections and hoses for any signs of leaks.
• Odtočna cev: Prepričajte se, da je odtočna cev čista in brez ovir.
