GEL Hi-Soft 9 cabinet softener cod. 109.789.10

The calcium and magnesium salts determine the hardness of the water, which is the main cause of encrustations and damage to water systems, boilers, kettles, taps and appliances.

If the water has a hardness higher than 15° French, it is good practice to install an ion exchange softener.

In addition to solving the limestone problem, it is important to install a water softener because it reduces energy costs and the consumption of detergents, makes the skin hydrated and the clothes clean.

The GEL softeners are:

• Compact in design and small in size
• Efficient in reducing the hardness and washing the resins, and with reduced consumption
• Complete with electronic timer for automatic management of regeneration in time, pure volume or volume/time mode.

Characteristics

The Hi-Soft series ion exchange cabinet softeners offer an efficient solution to all problems deriving from water hardness and are equipped with the most recent technological innovations in water treatment:

• UP-FLOW mode which guarantees salt and water savings during regeneration
• Compact design and sliding lid, new and practical, for easy filling and salt level control
• Brine valve with safety float to provide additional overfill protection
• Automatic regeneration mode even during holidays to keep resins clean
• User friendly touch key design
• They remove up to 10ppm of iron and manganese
• Easy to read multilingual front LCD display
• Built-in exclusion by-pass
• Built-in mixing valve
• Resin self-disinfection system
• Ideal in situations of limited space

All equipment in contact with drinking water is made with top quality materials, in accordance with the provisions of Ministerial Decree 174/2004.

Installation

• Hi-Softs must be installed by qualified personnel, in a dry place protected from frost and sunlight.
• Install a safety filter upstream of the softener.
• Use flexible pipes or anti-vibration joints to make the water connections from the softener to the system.
• Position a free drain (not under pressure) at a height lower than the "overflow" of the brine tank.
• Install an autoclave with pressures lower than 2 bar.
• Install a pressure reducer with pressures above 4 bar.
• Install a non-return valve after the meter.

NB. For details on programming the timers, refer to the HiSoft water softeners user and maintenance manual.

Maintenance

• Periodically clean the filter cartridge upstream of the softener
• Clean the brine tank every six months.
• Periodically check and replenish the salt in the brine tank (according to the instructions of the specialized technician).
• Check the hardness of the water supplied every two months.
• • Periodically clean the resins with Resiclean Gel.

GUIDE TO THE CHOICE OF HI SOFT

NB. In the "choice guide" table, only the daily water consumption is taken into account, therefore check the peak flow rate. If the peak flow rate is not adequate, choose the higher softener model. A regenerative frequency of 2 days and a residual hardness of 15°f are also considered.

If there is iron and manganese in the water, add the iron and/or manganese value (mg/l) to the hardness (°f).

NB For each milligram/litre of iron and manganese, 6.5 °f of hardness (65 mg/l) must be considered.
