Softening process:
Softening process:
(IN SERV)
(IN SERV)
Hard water contains dissolved minerals, among them Calcium and Magnesium ions responsible for
limescale formation on heating parts of equipment. During the softening process, by mean of ionexchange, the Calcium and Magnesium compounds are removed from water. As the water flows
through resin deposits, the Magnesium and Calcium ions are being absorbed on the surface of resin
beads. Over time the softening properties of resin will become depleted and it will have to be
regenerated. The regeneration process proceeds automatically. During the regeneration mode the resin
deposit is flushed with saline solution, thus absorbed minerals are rinsed from resin beads and flushed
off to the sewage system. After the regeneration process the system regains full capacity.
Proces regeneracji: (REGEN)
During the regeneration process, the resin is rinsed by the saline solution. The regeneration cycle
consists of 4 regeneration stages:
•countercurrent rinse(BACK WASH)
•saline solution rinse (BRINE+WASH)
•rapid rinse (RAPID RINSE)
•settling rinse(SETTLE RINSE)
•brine tank refill (BRINE REFILL)
2. SYSTEM PROGRAMMING: (Rys.1)
The regeneration process has been set to start at 2:00 AM by default. After connecting the system to
power supply the user must set the current time manually first.
•Setting the current time and the time of regeneration (pic.1)
To set the current time, the user must press and hold the white button (1), and simultaneously turn the
gearwheel (2) so in the gap (3) the current time is shown* (like on the watch). Nextly, release the white
button (1) so it falls back between the gearwheel pins (2).
*”a”- morning hours (midnight to midday) e.g. 9a=9:00 (AM)
„p”- afternoon hours ( midday to midnight) e.g. 9p=21:00 (PM)
The valve is automatically set to start the regeneration process at 2.00 pm. If the time of regeneration is
to commence earlier, the user should accordingly turn the gearwheel (2) clockwise of counterclockwise
from the current time.
•Setting the frequency of regeneration (pic.1)
Days of regeneration are set on the 12 day disk (4) by lifting up or lowering the pinions(5). Each pinion
represents 1 day. First the user has to lower all of pinions (5) down (4) and then lift the pinions
representing days, when the regeneration is to be carried out. Red arrow indicated current day.(6)
Example:
✔All of the pinions are lifted up- the regeneration takes place everyday.
✔Every second pinion is lifted up- the regeneration takes place every second day.
✔Every third pinion is lifted up- The regeneration takes place every third day.
✔And so on...
