GEL Decalux 30 VT 1000AD standard cabinet softener cod. AD9.735.30

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 Decalux are ion exchange, cabinet softeners (the brine tank is not separated from the cylinder/timer unit).

The Decalux softeners are equipped with the self-disinfection system of the resins and equipped with the electronic-volumetric timer, VT 1000 AD, easy to use.

The VT 1000 AD timer indicates when salt has run out, the quantity of water that can be supplied between regenerations, the quantity of softened water consumed since the last regeneration.

The Decalux consist of a head with a hydropneumatic valve in plastic material and an electronic timer; plastic cylinder covered in fiberglass.

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

Installation

• Decalux must be installed by qualified personnel, in a dry place protected from frost and sunlight.
• After verifying the correct installation, GEL specialized personnel carry out testing and start-up.
• Prepare for a 230V power outlet.
• 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 6 bar.
• Install a non-return valve after the meter.
• For potable use:
• Install a manual or automatic mixing valve (residual hardness = 15 °f);
• Install the AD version (resin disinfection system and salt insufficiency alarm to regenerate the resins)

NB. For details on programming the timers, refer to the use and maintenance manual of the Decalux water softeners.

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 check that the salt level in the brine tank is higher than the water level.

DECALUX CHOICE GUIDE

NB. The "Guide to selection" table only takes into account the daily consumption of water, therefore it is necessary to check the peak flow rate. If the peak flow rate is not adequate, select the higher softener model. A regenerative frequency of 3 days, 3 people per apartment and an average per capita consumption of 0.2 m3/day are also considered.
