FAQs
How often should I add salt?
Salt usage depends on water hardness and household water consumption. Check the salt levels regularly and refill when low.
What type of salt should I use?
Use water softener salt, available in various forms (pellets, crystals).
Where should I install the water softener?
Install the unit indoors, near the main water supply, and in a location that is easily accessible for salt replenishment and maintenance.
How long does the regeneration process take?
The regeneration cycle time is typically set in the unit's settings; refer to the user manual for details.
What happens if I run out of salt?
The water softener will stop softening water until salt is added. Your water will revert to its original hardness.
How do I adjust the water hardness?
Use the mixer on the unit to adjust the water hardness to your preference.
Is professional installation required?
While the installation kit includes everything needed, consider professional installation for optimal performance and to ensure proper connections, especially if you're not experienced with plumbing.
Troubleshooting
Water isn't soft.
Check salt levels, ensure the bypass valve is closed, and verify the time and hardness settings are correct.
Unit is not regenerating.
Check the power supply and ensure the unit is programmed correctly. Consult the user manual for regeneration cycles.
Low water pressure.
Check for any blockages in the hoses or pipes. Ensure the bypass valve is fully open if you need water while troubleshooting.
Salt cabinet is full of water.
Check the safety float; it may be stuck or malfunctioning. Clean the brine tank.
