2.5 CHARACTERISTICS OF FEED WATER
Feed water must be:
• Drinkable and clean (SDI 1)
• Temperature must be between 6° and 25°C
• Hardness must be below 900 ppm CaCO
3
(90°f)
2.6 EQUIPMENT PERFORMANCE
BASED ON WATER HARDNESS
Chart reports the liters of water that the GIX water softeners
supply based on the hardness of feed water.
The hardness of supply water is around 2 French degrees.
3) INSTALLATION
3.1 PACKAGING
• Before the installation, check that the equipment was not
damaged by the transport and does not show any anomaly.
If in doubt, ask your seller, whose information is written on
the back of this manual.
• To preserve hygienic safety, we recommend removing the
equipment from the package only at the moment of instal-
lation.
• Don’t throw the package away for some time, being careful
to keep any dangerous or small parts of the package away
from children.
• Inside the salt container there are:
- The drain pipes (fig. 3, E, F)
- The instructions to connect the overfill protection pipe
- The transformer
- The package with the rubber-keeping joint (fig. 2, C) for the
drain pipe (fig. 3, F)
• Check that there are no parts of the package left in the salt
container.
3.2 CHOOSING THE PLACE OF INSTALLATION
• The equipment must be installed by keeping it horizontal.
• Ensure that there is no other water treatment machine
present upline of the place of installation.
• Ensure that feed water comes from a drinking water pipe.
We recommend checking the chemical and physical para-
meters of the drinking water as well as its hardness before
installation.
• Install the equipment near a floor sink that must be placed
downline of the equipment, to let the waste water coming
out of the overflow protection pipe flow with no impedi-
ments.
• Install the equipment in a dry place that can be easily ac-
cessible to maintain and clean the equipment. Do not in-
stall the equipment in dirty and unhygienic places, or in any
place difficult to clean.
• Ensure that room temperature in the place of installation is
between 4°C and 35°C.
• Keep away from corrosive or acid products.
• If the water softener is near a boiler, check that the pipes
and the water softener itself are not subjected to overhea-
ting. If possible, install a pipe that keeps a few meters’ di-
stance (at least 3) between the outlet of the water softener
and the inlet of the boiler.
• Do not install in places where electric safety norms or per-
sonal safety norms are openly disregarded.
• Hydric pressure must not be under 0.2 Mpa (2 bar) or over
0.8 Mpa (8 bar). (We recommend at least 3 or 4 bar)
• If hydric pressure is over 8 bar, it is necessary to install a
pressure adaptor.
• If hydric pressure is under 0.2 Mpa (2 bar), the equipment
may not be working correctly.
• Salt packages or boxes must not be kept in humid places
or in direct contact with the floor: keep it, for example, on a
wooden pallet.
3.3 CONNECTION TO THE WATER SYSTEM
The connection to the water system must be done according
to all applicable norms, following the instructions of the manu-
facturer and qualified personnel.
During the installation use pipes, hoses, valves and compo-
nents which comply with applicable norms on hygienic safety
DM 174/2004. They must be kept in their sealed package
until the moment of installation to preserve their hygienic sa-
fety. It is forbidden to use components that are not suitable for
drinking water contact, or components which hygienic safety
was compromised, as they could corrupt the quality of treated
water and the equipment itself.
