Increase in number or residents:
Sudden changes in your water usage should not affect your water softeners performance. If however,
the number of guests staying with you increases, you will notice that the water usage patterns will alter.
This may cause your water softener to regenerate more often than normal. As the water usage returns
to its normal level, the number of regenerations will also return to normal.
Cabinet Water Level:
During normal operation the water level inside the water softener cabinet will rise and fall as required
by the regeneration process. If the water softener is used within the specified operational para meters
the water level should not reach the overflow connection. If however an overflow situation occurs
please see chapter 6 Trouble shooting to diagnose the problem.
Following any overflow situation reduce the water level by half and initiate a manual regeneration as
described above.
NOTE!

Check the water level weekly and following any unplanned event, e.g. power failure.

To test the water hardness, allow the nearest cold water tap to run for a while and check the hardness
of the blended water using the AQUATEST hardness tester.
Adjust with the blending valve until the desired value is reached.
