INSTALLATION
Page 5
Picture 1
To facilitate the installation, you may want to remove the
main cover from the appliance (Ultra Mini only).
BLUE CAP OF COVER
To reduce the shipping dimensions, the blue cap of the cover
is NOT installed onto the appliance, but delivered separately
with 2 stainless steel mounting screws. It needs to be
assembled upon installation of the appliance.
Picture 2
1. Remove the 2 stainless steel mounting screws from the
blue cap.
2. Open the cover in order to have access the inside of the
cover:
Ultra Mini: pull the cover upwards and/or forwards
and remove it from the brine cabinet.
Ultra Maxi: flip the cover up.
3. At the outside of the cover, put the blue cap in the correct
position and fix it to the cover by screwing the 2 stainless
steel mounting screws into the corresponding brass
threaded inserts in the bottom of the blue cap.
INLET & OUTLET
Check the water pressure at the place of installation of
the appliance; it should never exceed 8,3 bar.
In case of high concentration of impurities in the inlet
water, we recommend the installation of a sediment filter,
ahead of the appliance.
We strongly recommend the use of flexible hoses to
connect the appliance to the water distribution system; use
hoses with a large diameter in order to limit the pressure
loss.
If the appliance is not equipped with the factory bypass
(optional), we strongly recommend to install a 3-valve
bypass system (not included with this product!) to isolate the
appliance from the water distribution system in case of
repairs. It allows to turn off the water to the appliance, while
maintaining (untreated) water supply to the user.
WITH FACTORY BYPASS (optional)
Picture 3
= mains water supply (untreated water)
= inlet of appliance (untreated water)
= outlet of appliance (treated water)
= house/application (treated water)
1. Screw the factory bypass onto the elbow connections of
the appliance (&); make sure to install the gasket
seals. Tighten the nuts firmly by hand.
2. Screw the connection kit with nuts onto the factory
bypass (&); make sure to install the gasket seals.
Tighten the nuts firmly by hand.
3. Connect the mains water supply to the adaptor on the
inlet port of the factory bypass ().
4. Connect the house/application to the adaptor on the
outlet port of the factory bypass ().
WITH 3-VALVE BYPASS SYSTEM (not included)

1. Install the 3-valve bypass system.
2. Screw the connection kit with nuts onto the elbow
connections of the appliance (&); make sure to install
the gasket seals. Tighten the nuts firmly by hand.
3. Connect the 3-valve bypass system to the adaptors on the
in () and out () elbow connections.
4. Connect the mains water supply to the inlet of the 3-valve
bypass system ().
5. Connect the house/application to the outlet of the 3-valve
bypass system ().
DRAIN
We recommend the use of a stand pipe with air trap.
To prevent backflow from the sewerage system into the
appliance, always install and use the included air gap with
double hose barb, to connect the drain hoses to the
sewerage system.
Always use separate drain hoses for the control valve
(evacuation of rinse water) and the cabinet's overflow.
Lay-out the drain hoses in such a way that pressure loss
is minimized; avoid kinks and unnecessary elevations.
Make sure that the sewerage system is suitable for the
rinse water flow rate of the appliance.
Picture 5
1. Install the air gap to the sewerage system; it fits over a
32 mm pipe or inside a 40 mm pipe adaptor. Ensure a
permanent and watertight connection.
2. Connect a 13 mm hose to:
Ultra Mini: the drain solenoid of the control valve ();
secure it by means of a clamp.
Ultra Maxi: the adaptor on the drain line extender of
the control valve (); secure it by means of a clamp.
3. Run the drain hose to the air gap and connect it to one of
the hose barbs; secure it by means of a clamp. This drain
line operates under pressure, so it may be installed higher
than the appliance.
4. Connect a 13 mm hose to the cabinet overflow elbow,
located at the back side of the water softener; secure it
by means of a clamp.
5. Run the drain hose to the air gap and connect it to the
other hose barb; secure it by means of a clamp. This drain
line does NOT operate under pressure, so it may NOT be
installed higher than the appliance.
