Note: All the calculations are based on salt dosage setting of 120g/liters.
*Indicatives data. Maximum flow rate to produce in order to respect the required service velocity for an optimal
ion exchange, independently from the inlet pressure.
** Values may vary upon local condition and programming. Consumption for RiverSoft 4 and RiverSoft 8 are
given for system u3 programmed. Consumption for RiverSoft 16 and RiverSoft 25 are given for a system u4
programmed.
All consumptions are given for an inlet pressure of 3.44 bar (50 Psi).

GENERAL PRECAUTIONS

Before you begin installation, read the entire manual. Gather all
materials and tools needed. Improper installation voids warranty.
Do not use with water that is microbiologically
WARNING:
unsafe or of unknown quality without adequate
disinfection before or after the softener.
SODIUM INFORMATION: Water softeners
WARNING:
using sodium chloride for regeneration will
add sodium to the water. Persons who are on
sodium-restricted diets should consider the
added sodium as part of their overall sodium
intake.
NOTE: Sodium Chloride or Potassium Chloride are
recommended.
NOTE: The efficiency of this softener shall be valid only at
the stated salt dosage.
RECOMMENDATION: a qualified plumber should be contracted
to make all difficult piping installations.
Softener must be protected against freezing,
CAUTION:
which can cause cracking of the softener and water
leakage.
Do not treat water over 43°C because hot water will
CAUTION:
damage the softener and void warranty.
Locate the softener within 500 cm of drain.
CAUTION:
Drain must be capable of handling a maximum
backwash flow rate of 19 liters of water per minute.
Maximum allowable inlet water pressure is
CAUTION:
8 Bars if daytime pressure is around 8 Bars,
nighttime pressure may exceed the maximum.
Use a pressure-reducing valve if necessary. Use a
pressure-reducing valve if necessary.
NOTE: Handle softener with care. Do not turn upside
down, drop, or set on sharp objects.
