can be done by opening at least one tap. 4.2 Cut into the cold water mains supply in order to install two angled (or similar) isolation valves, one for the mains inlet and one for the mains outlet. 4.3 ENSURE THE BYPASS VALVE IS SET TO “BYPASS” Connect the mains inlet to the bottom port of the bypass unit using the hose supplied and the ma ...

4.5 Connect the straight drain outlet (part 12. page 5) to a local drain by means of the 13

mm flexible drain hose supplied in the installation kit. ENSURE THE HOSE IS FULLY PUSHED ON TO THE STRAIGHT DRAIN OUTLET. This drain pipe has been reinforced to avoid possible problems caused by kinking of the pipe. IT IS IMPORTANT HOWEVER TO PROTECT THE DRAIN HOSE FROM FROST & EXCESSIVE HEAT. If the drain hose is being taken outside ensure a suitable insulation ...

Remove one of the 3 rubber plugs in the salt cabinet (A, B or C). Insert the overflow fitting and secure it from inside the salt cabinet with the supplied nut. Connect the pipework so t ...

4.9 On the Softline 150 the valve & vessel can be installed in the salt container in three

different ways: with the bypass at the back, to the left, or to the right simply by rotating the base plate so that the arrow faces the direction required, right, left or to the back. (installation on the 150C and the 450 is to the rear only). 4.8 Place the softener (valve & vessel) in the salt bin; use the side with the round opening (for correct installation, see ...

5.1 THE HARDNESS REGULATOR: (Part 9, Page 5).

The hardness regulator is situated on the TOP of the valve unit and has measurements marked 0 through to 600. Measure the incoming water by means of one of the test strips provided. (these are on the reverse of the registration card) The Softline units use ppm (parts per million) settings of CaCO3. Adjust the hardness regulator to the measurement value using the 5mm allen key supplied. If you a ...

6. Commissioning & Operation

6.1 Leaving the bypass in ‘bypass’ mode, open the main valve (stop tap) slowly and flush for several minutes in order to avoid any debris from installation entering the water softener. 6.3 Now add salt into the salt container (indicated) salt may filled to about 3/4 of the height of the salt tank. 6.2 Add water to the salt container until the water level is approx, 10cm (4”) high. 6.4 Turn the bypass fully 180° slowly ...

6.5 Turn on the first cold water tap after the water softener so a flow runs through the

water softener. Some air may flow from the tap, this is coming from the softener as excess air is purged from it. This will happen only once at start up. When only water flows from the this tap, close the tap. 6.6 Perform a manual regeneration. Follow steps 6.6 (a) - 6.6 (c) 6.6 (a) Use the 5mm allen key supplied to turn the programme disc (shown in diagram 1 below) ...

First the valve cover; making sure the connections fit in the large opening and the drain in the small opening. (if the valve cover does not sit correctly check the position of the base plate). (see 4.8, page 10). Then replace the front lid. For future salt refills, only the front lid has to be removed. For ongoing operation, add salt to the container when it gets low. Do not allo ...
