position, wait about five minutes and check for leaks in the connection pipe. If
there are leaks, please tighten the leakage area.
2. The first time the device is operated, there may be a little yellow water coming
from the outlet. This is a normal phenomenon that occurs because the resin is
new and should disappear after rinsing.
5.1. Water Capacity
Water capacity is related to water hardness. Bathing water consumption is calculated
based on 40 L per day for a family of three.

5. REGENERATION OPERATION
Page 23
SHOWER SOFTENER-CEASA 23
During operation, the product will show the days of use as 01 (used for one day after
regeneration), 02 (used for two days after regeneration), for easy verification of the
days of use.
In order to correctly control the time until regeneration, please set the detailed
parameter as per the following pages. The user can set the number of days for the
regeneration reminder according to use requirements.
5.2. Regeneration Salt Consumption
Salt consumption during regeneration depends on the characteristics of the residential
softener. One regeneration needs 400g of salt. Reminder: Using other salts may have
adverse effects.
5.3. Regeneration Process
When water capacity reaches a certain value, resin fails and regeneration salt needs to
be used for regeneration. Method:
1.1 The unit needs water supply for the regeneration. The user needs to open
the water mixing valve if installed after the water heater and let cold water
enter the unit; otherwise the regeneration will be invalid.
1.2 To carry out the regeneration, press for 3 seconds until you hear a
beep. The device enters the regeneration mode, the motor rotates, the
display screen shows , when backwash is reached, the display screen
shows and water comes out of the drain; it remains in state for 30

seconds and automatically switches to , then flashes and a buzzer
sounds.
1.3 Open the upper cover of the housing as shown in figure 24. Then,
unscrew the cover as shown in figure 25 and add 400 g of special
regeneration salt as shown in figure 26. Stir salt particles to evenly
distribute them inside the salt tank, tighten the cover and close the upper
cover. Adding salt should take less than 3 minutes.
1.4 The system will automatically flush itself after the regeneration. The
process takes about 1h and doesn’t need to be supervised. After the
regeneration is completed, if the program selected is the front installation
mode, the system will switch to the water supply ; if the back-end
installation mode is selected, the system will go into standby mode .
The user will need to press the switch to select the water supply state.

Meter type
To adjust the water hardness, press and hold the button in the service
position.
This will enter the settings menu, where you can adjust the number from 5 to 50.
5 equals 50 ppm, 6 equals 60 ppm, and 50 means 500 ppm. Based on this information,
you can adjust the water hardness, and the system will calculate the water treatment
capacity automatically.
When the shower softener is operational, the LED display shows a value like
“1111” to indicate how much of the treated water has been used. For example, when
the softener starts to operate, it will show “1111” at first. After operating for a few
days, it may only show “111”, then after a while, it will show “11”, then “1”. When
the treated water is used up (the water capacity is reached), the “1” will flash to
remind you to start the regeneration.
