2.3.1. Personnel

Only qualified and professional personnel, based on their training, experience and instruction as well
as their knowledge of the regulations, the safety rules and operations performed, are authorized to
carry out necessary work.

2.3.2. Material

The following points must be observed to ensure proper operation of the system and the safety of
user:

• Be careful of high voltages present on the transformer (230V).

• Do not put your fingers in the system (risk of injuries with moving parts and shock due to electric
voltage).

2.4. Hygiene and sanitization

2.4.1. Sanitary issues

Preliminary checks and storage

• Check the integrity of the packaging. Check that there is no damage and no signs of contact with
liquid to make sure that no external contamination occurred.

• The packaging has a protective function and must be removed just before installation. For
transportation and storage appropriate measures should be adopted to prevent the
contamination of materials or objects themselves.

Assembly

• Assemble only with components which are in accordance with drinking water standards.

• After installation and before use, perform one or more manual regenerations in order to clean
the media bed. During such operations, do not use the water for human consumption. Perform a
disinfection of the system in the case of installations for treatment of drinking water for human
use.

Note

This operation must be repeated in the case of ordinary and extraordinary maintenance. It
should also be repeated whenever the system remains idle for a significant time.

Note

Valid only for Italy

: In case of equipment used in accordance with the DM25, apply all the

signs and obligations arising from the DM25.

2.4.2. Hygiene measures

Disinfection

• The materials used for the construction of our products meet the standards for use with potable
water; the manufacturing processes are also geared to preserving these criteria. However, the
process of production, distribution, assembly and installation, may create conditions of bacterial
proliferation, which may lead to odor problems and water contamination.

• It is therefore strongly recommended to sanitize the products. See 7.2. Sanitization, page 40.

• Maximum cleanliness is recommended during the assembly and installation.

• For disinfection, use Sodium or Calcium Hypochlorite and perform a manual regeneration.

3.1.1. Performance flow rate characteristics

The graph shows the pressure drop created by the valve itself at different flow rates. It makes it
possible to predetermine the maximum flow rate going through the valve depending on the system
settings (inlet pressure etc). It also makes it possible to determine the valve pressure drop at a given
flow rate, and therefore to evaluate the system pressure drop vs flow rate.

3.4. Options available on the valve

3.4.1. Chlorine generator (check salt light)

The Logix 740 and 760 controllers have the capability to produce a low level of chlorine to chlorinate
the resin bed during regeneration. A check salt light will indicate when the user needs to add salt to
the brine tank. Potassium chloride or sodium chloride may be used.

No. Operation

A Unplug the wall-mounted transformer.
B Shut off water supply or put bypass valve(s) into bypass position.
C Relieve system pressure before performing any operations.
D Unlock the cover (2) from the slide clips (1) (one on each side of the valve).
E Remove the controller (3) by pressing on (4).
F Connect the small chlorine generator connector to the back of the controller (5).

Remove the existing refill controller (6) with the ball (7) from the valve and replace it with

G

the one provided in the kit.
Connect the other end of the cable to the refill controller previously installed.

H

Connect firmly to ensure a good contact.

I Reverse above procedure steps to rebuild.

Note

No programming is necessary for the chlorine generator to work properly on the controller.
The system will be automatically functional after the chlorine generation senses brine for
the first time. There is a check salt light on the front of the controller that will illuminate
when there is no brine present during the brine draw.

3.4.2. Blending valve kit

Tightening the adjusting screw provided by the kit will force the bypass flapper open. The open flapper
will allow untreated (hard) water to blend with the treated water supply. As the adjusting screw is
turned in, the hardness of the outlet water increases.
Loosening the adjusting screw will allow the bypass flapper to close. The closing action will blend less
untreated water into the outlet flow.
To blend a specific amount of hardness into outflow, adjust the screw and test the water. Repeat the
following procedure as needed until the desired harness level is reached.

No. Operation

A Insert the nut (3) into the blending valve orifice (2).
B Insert the adjusting screw (4) through the top plate and then through the nut.
C Tighten the adjusting screw (4) until it touches the bypass flapper (1).
D Adjust the position of the screw (4) until the desired hardness level of water is reached.

3.5. System regeneration cycle (8-cycles operation)

Service (downflow) — cycle C0

Untreated water is directed down through the resin bed and up through the riser tube. The hardness
ions attach themselves to the resin and are removed from the raw water being exchanged on the resin
beads against sodium ions. The water is conditioned as it passes through the resin bed.

Backwash (upflow) — cycle C1

The flow of water is reversed by the valve and directed down the riser tube and up through the resin
bed. During the backwash cycle, the bed is expanded and debris is flushed to the drain, while the
media bed is remixed.

Brine (downflow) — cycle C2

The controller directs water through the brine injector and brine is drawn from the brine tank. The
brine is then directed down through the resin bed and up through the riser tube to the drain. The
hardness ions are displaced by sodium ions and are sent to the drain. The resin is regenerated during
the brine cycle. When the air check valve closes brine drawing finishes, and then the slow rinse phase
starts.

Slow rinse (downflow) — cycle C3

Repressurize cycle (hard water bypass flapper open) — cycle C4

This cycle allows the air and water to hydraulically balance in the valve before continuing the
regeneration.

Fast rinse (downflow) — cycle C5

The controller value directs water down through the resin bed and up through the riser tube to the
drain. Any residual brine is rinsed from the resin bed, while the media bed is re-compacted.

2nd Backwash (upflow) — cycle C6

2nd Fast rinse (downflow) — cycle C7

Brine refill — cycle C8

Water is directed to the brine tank at a rate controlled by the refill controller, to create brine for the
next regeneration. During brine refill, treated water is already available at the valve outlet.

3.6. Filter cycle (4-cycles operation)

Service — cycle C0

Unfiltered water is directed down through the media and up through the riser tube. The water is
filtered as it passes through the media.

Backwash — cycle C1

The flow of water is reversed by the valve and directed down through the riser tube and up through
the media. During the backwash cycle, the media is expanded and debris is flushed to the drain.

Repressurize cycle (hard water bypass flapper open) — cycle C4

This cycle allows the air and water to hydraulically balance in the valve before continuing the
regeneration.

Fast rinse — cycle C5

The valve directs water down through the media and up through the riser tube to the drain while the
media is re-compacted.

4.2. Filter configuration (Performa 263)

In filter configuration, the valve body, the camshaft and the controller are identical to the one used for
softening. The only difference is related to the valve configuration.
In filter mode, the injector size installed in the valve does not matter, it is only required to allow intern
pressure balancing during cleaning cycles. Refill flow controller is plugged.
The DLFC used is now related to the tank size and media type.
