3 Product description

3.1 Intended use
● The softliQ water softener may only and exclusively be used for the softening and
partial softening of cold drinking water.
● The softliQ water softener protects water pipes and connected water-carrying
systems from scaling resp. from malfunctions and damage caused by scaling.
● The water softener softliQ:PA20 is suitable for the continuous supply of soft water
in installations with a nominal flow of up to 2.0 m³/h. Apart from single and multi­family households of max. 5 persons, this also includes kindergartens and commercial properties.
● The water softener softliQ:PA20 features an adsorber for the reduction of germs.
The retention rate for Pseudomonas aeruginosa and legionella pneumophila is
99.999%.
Product description
● The service life of the adsorbers is 250 m³ or 2 years, whichever comes first. After
the service life of the adsorbers has expired, they must be replaced. In case of larger water demands or continuous flows, we recommend using pre-engineered safeliQ systems.

3.3 Functional description
3.3.1 Ion exchange process
The softliQ water softener works according to the ion exchange process. The exchange of calcium and magnesium ions for sodium ions causes the water to become soft.
Figure Explanation
The exchanger contains ion exchanger resin in the form of small resin beads.
Sodium ions adhere to each resin bead.
Product description
Hard water containing lots of calcium and magnesium ions flows through the exchanger.
The ion exchanger resin absorbs calcium and magnesium ions from the water in exchange for sodium ions.
This reaction is called ion exchange.
The calcium and magnesium ions are retained in the exchanger.
Soft water without calcium and magnesium ions, but containing sodium ions, leaves the exchanger.
This process continues until no more sodium ions are available. The ion exchanger resin is exhausted.
The exchange can be reversed if a large amount of sodium ions is added.
The exchanger is rinsed with brine (water containing salt).
By their sheer number, sodium ions displace calcium and magnesium ions on the ion exchanger resin.
This water containing calcium and magnesium ions is discharged to the drain.
The initial condition is restored.
The ion exchanger resin is regenerated, and thus ready for operation.
Sodium ion Calcium ion Magnesium ion
Your dishwasher works according to the ion exchange process, too.

Product description
3.3.2 Adsorption
Germs have a charge on their surface which is referred to as the cell membrane. With the known harmful germs in drinking water, this charge is opposite to that of the adsorber. This means bacterial growth in the water (e.g. bacteria such as pseudomonads) is fixed on the material. This process is called adsorption.
Figure Explanation
The surface of the adsorber material is permanently electrostatically charged.
During the operating phase, the germs are fixed on the adsorber material due to having an opposite charge.
During regeneration of the device, the germs collected on the adsorber are disinfected.
Legionella Pseudomonads
3.3.3 Intelligence of the softliQ:PA water softener
A regeneration is released, if at least 50% of the current system capacity is used up. The point of regeneration automatically is placed in a time period where usually little water is consumed. The point of regeneration can also be set at a fixed time.
During each regeneration, only the used-up system capacity is regenerated. and only as much salt is used as necessary. No later than after four days without regeneration, the system releases a complete regeneration, as required by DIN standard 19636-100, for hygienic reasons.
The intelligence of the softliQ water softener allows for an efficient operation with low salt and power consumption.
14 | 76
Page 15
3.4 Features
3.4.1 Electronically controlled blending unit
The electronically controlled blending unit automatically regulates the ratio between fully softened and at the same time hygienically treated water and only hygienically treated water. The regulation is subject to the raw and soft water hardness programmed in the control.
3.4.2 Pre-alarm salt supply
Once per regeneration, a light sensor checks the filling level of the regeneration salt. If the filling level of the regeneration salt is low, the control unit provides feedback in the form of a warning message. This is shown by a yellow symbol in the control unit. If the level balls below the minimum filling level, the control unit calculates how many days the salt supply is expected to last, and indicates this value in days.
Product description
The days the salt supply is expected to last are calculated based on the water consumption of the past days. In case of fluctuating water consumption, the indicated range of the salt supply also fluctuates.
3.4.3 Illuminated LED ring
The illuminated LED ring illuminates the brine tank and is a visual signal to indicate operating states. The illuminated LED ring may be programmed to the following functions:
● Lights up during water treatment
● Lights up during operation of the control unit
● Intermittent flashing in case malfunctions do occur
● Intermittent flashing in case of pre-alarm salt supply
If desired, the illuminated LED ring can be set to continuous illumination or be deactivated completely (refer to chapter 4.4).

Operation
2. Let the water flow for at least 30 seconds.
3. Take a water sample with the test tube:
a Fill the test tube up to the °dH mark to determine the water hardness in °dH.
b Fill the test tube up to the marking °f (x 0.1 = mol/m³) in order to determine the
water hardness in °f, mol/m³ or mmol/l.
7.7.3 Determining the water hardness in °dH/°f
1. Add one drop of titration solution (1 drop = 1 °dH = 1 °f).
2. Shake the test tube the until titration solution is mixed with the water.
3. In case of red colouring, repeat steps 2 and 3 and count the drops until the colour
changes to green.
» If the colour changes to green, the water hardness has been determined.
The number of drops corresponds to the degree of hardness in °dH or °f. Example:
Test tube filled up to the °dH mark: 6 drops = 6 °dH. Test tube filled up to the °f mark: 6 drops= 6 °f.
7.7.4 Determining the water hardness in mol/m³ (mmol/l)
1. Determine the water hardness in °f as described.
2. Divide the °f measured by 10.
The water hardness in °f divided by 10 corresponds to the degree of hardness in mol/m³ (=mmol/l). Example:

8 Cleaning, inspection, maintenance

WARNING: Danger of contaminated drinking water if the work is not carried out properly.
● Risk of infectious diseases.
► Pay particular attention to hygiene when working on water softeners.
Inspection and maintenance of a water softener is prescribed in the DIN EN 806-5 standard. Regular maintenance ensures trouble-free and hygienic operation. At least once a year, the water softener must be serviced by Grünbeck's technical service/authorised service company or by specialist installers trained by Grünbeck. Proper operation and maintenance of the system are essential for trouble-free and hygienic operation.
A maintenance contract ensures that all the required maintenance work will be performed in due time.
8.1 Cleaning
1. Only clean the outside of the product.
2. Do not use any strong or abrasive cleaning agents, because they can damage the
surface.
3. Wipe the housing with a damp cloth.
8.2 Inspection
Regular inspection increases the operational reliability of your product. Therefore, conduct an inspection at least every 2 months.
To conduct an inspection, proceed as follows:
1. Visually check the system for leaks
2. Check the soft water hardness (refer to chapter 7.7)
3. Check there are sufficient salt tablets in the brine tank.
The salt tablet level in the brine tank must always be higher than the water level.
4. Check the control valve to the drain for leaks.

Some regular work is necessary in order to ensure proper functioning of the product in the long term. For this purpose, DIN EN 806-5 recommends a semi-annual and an annual maintenance.
8.3.1 Six-monthly maintenance
Proceed as follows to carry out the six-monthly maintenance:
Cleaning, inspection, maintenance
1. Visually check the system for leaks
2. Check the soft water hardness (refer to chapter 7.7).
3. Check there are sufficient salt tablets in the brine tank.
The salt tablet level in the brine tank must always be higher than the water level.
4. Check the control valve to the drain for leaks.
5. Evaluate the salt consumption subject to the water volume consumed.
8.3.2 Annual maintenance
Carrying out annual maintenance work requires specialist knowledge. This maintenance work is only allowed to be performed by Grünbeck's technical service/authorised service company or by tradespersons trained by Grünbeck.
The maintenance work to be performed for the annual maintenance complete the tasks that have to be carried out in the course of the semi-annual maintenance. The maintenance work is divided into reading and documenting operating values, general maintenance work and maintenance work to be carried out per exchanger. In addition to the semi-annual maintenance, the following work needs to be done:
Operating values
6. Measure the raw water hardness.
7. Align the measured raw water hardness with the setting in the control unit.
8. Measure the soft water hardness.
9. Align the measured soft water hardness with the setting in the control unit.
10. Read off the water pressure and flow pressure.

13 Other information

13.1 Explanation of terminology
Drinking water is any water that is intended for use in the domestic environment for drinking and all other food preparation purposes, for personal hygiene and cleaning as well as for cleaning objects that do not only temporarily
Drinking water
come into contact with foodstuffs or the human body.
Other information
Raw water
Raw water is the untreated water before it passes through the filter.
Soft water
Soft water is the general term for softened water, and is also referred to as softened or decalcified water.
Fully softened water
Regeneration water
Water with a residual hardness of 0 °dH (0 °f).
This water is saturated with calcium ions following regeneration, and is flushed out of the system into the drain.
System capacity
Describes the quantity of fully softened water that the water softener can create.
Turbine water meter
A very small turbine fitted in the system which transmits pulses to a sensor by means of a magnet, thereby allowing the water flow rate through the system to be measured.
13.2 Sodium content in the water
When softening water by 1 °dH (0.18 mmol/l), the sodium content increases by approx.
8.2 mg/l. Drinking water regulations in Germany specify that the sodium content of drinking water is not allowed to exceed 200 mg/l. Select a soft water hardness with a sodium content less than 200 mg/l.
The local water utility will inform you about the sodium content of your raw water.
Sample calculation:
Raw water hardness: 28 °dH (50 °f, 5 mmol/l) Sodium content in the raw water: 10.5 mg/l
Admissible increase of the sodium content by softening:
● 200 mg/l - 10.5 mg/l = 189.5 mg/l
● 189.5 : 8.2 = 23 °dH (41 °f, 4,1 mmol/l)
The raw water hardness may be reduced from 28 °dH (50 °f, 5 mmol/l) to 5 °dH (9 °f,
0.9 mmol/l).
65 | 76
Page 66
Other information
13.3 Hardness ranges
The hardness ranges were classified according to the German Act on Detergents and Cleaning Agents published in 2007.
Hardness range °dH °fH
Soft < 8.4 < 15
Medium 8.4 – 14 15 – 25
Hard > 14 > 25
► When dosing cleaning agents, take account of the new hardness range of your
water.
