CONTENT CHECK
Actual parts that you have received, may differ from
the pictures/illustrations in these Instructions!
For ease of transportation and installation, the
softening resin is NOT loaded in the resin tank, but
delivered in separate bags of 25 ltr; it must be loaded on-
site, after positioning of the resin tank.
Check the content of the system, using the Composition
Overview at the end of these Instructions. Identify and lay-
out the different components to facilitate the assembly.
DUPLEX ALTERNATING SYSTEM
A Duplex Eco ALTERNATING system consists of 2 Simplex
Eco systems (Master & Slave), that:
-share 1 electronic control panel, mounted on the Master
valve/system,
-are hydraulically installed in parallel,
-are electronically interconnected by means of an
InterConnect cable,
-have a Normally Closed solenoid operated diaphragm
valve (so called Service Valve) in the outlet of each
Simplex system; both Service Valves are controlled by
the electronic control panel of the Master valve/system
and are activated alternately during the service cycle, to
open the outlet of the respective Simplex system.
Both Simplex systems share 1 brine tank, that contains 2
brine valves!
During normal operation, only 1 of the 2 Simplex systems is
in service, while the other one is regenerating or ‘in
standby’!As soon as the first Simplex system initiates a
regeneration, the second system goes into service,
guaranteeing uninterrupted supply of treated water. In case
of a power failure, both Service Valves will be deactivated,
meaning the outlet of both Simplex systems will be closed
off, cutting off the water supply (potentially hard water!) to
the application.
DUPLEX/TRIPLEX PARALLEL SYSTEM
A Duplex/Triplex Eco PARALLEL system consists of 2/3
Simplex Eco systems, that:
-are hydraulically installed in parallel,
-are electronically interconnected by means of an
InterConnect cable,
-have a Normally Open solenoid operated diaphragm
valve (so called Service Valve) in the outlet of each
Simplex system; this Service Valve is controlled by the
electronic timer of the Simplex system and is activated
during the entire duration of the regeneration, to close-
off the control valve's standard 'hard water bypass
during regeneration'.
Furthermore, in case of a Duplex system, both Simplex
systems share 1 brine tank, that contains 2 brine valves!
During normal operation, all Simplex systems are in
service, doubling/tripling the service flow rate! When one
of the Simplex systems initiates a regeneration, it
immediately communicates it's status to the other Simplex
system(s) via the InterConnect cable(s), to make sure the
other Simplex system(s) remain(s) in service, guaranteeing
uninterrupted supply of treated water. In case of a power
failure, all Service Valves will be deactivated, meaning the
outlet of all Simplex systems will be open, guaranteeing
uninterrupted supply of water.
For correct assembly, repeat the different assembly steps,
until all Simplex systems are assembled and positioned
correctly.
For large installations, with an important need for treated
water, 2 or more Duplex systems can easily be installed in
parallel hydraulically, to double/triple/... the flow rate and
softening capacity.
RESIN LOADING
1. Move the resin tank to the correct installation location;
position it on a flat and level surface. Make sure to leave
enough space for ease of service.
2. Position the riser assembly upright and centred in the
resin tank; plug the top of the riser tube with a piece of
tape or clean rag, to prevent resin from entering the
tube.
3. Add water to the resin tank to a height of ±30 cm from
the bottom; this water will protect the bottom of the
resin tank and the bottom distributor, during filling of
the resin tank.
4. Place a funnel on the resin tank opening and fill the resin
tank with resin.
5. Rinse the resin tank opening to remove any resin beads
from the threaded section.
6. Unplug the top of the riser tube.
CONTROL VALVE
7. Make sure the O-ring in the riser insert and the tank O-
ring (around the threaded section of the control valve)
are in the correct position.
8. Screw the top distributor onto the control valve.
9. Lubricate the threaded section of the resin tank, the top
of the riser tube and the tank O-ring of the control valve;
use a silicon-based lubricant.
10. Lower the control valve straight down onto the riser
tube, until the riser tube is correctly inserted in the riser
insert; then push it down firmly and screw it onto the
resin tank.
