Wiltec NW-SOFT-C1 Water Softener User Manual

1. ບົດແນະນຳ

This manual provides essential information for the installation, operation, and maintenance of your Wiltec NW-SOFT-C1 water softener. This device is designed to effectively reduce water hardness by eliminating limescale, thereby protecting your plumbing and household appliances. It operates on an ion exchange principle, replacing calcium and magnesium ions with sodium ions, which helps prevent limescale buildup on heating elements and improves water quality for various uses, including cooking, showering, and appliance operation. The system features automatic resin regeneration, simplifying maintenance.

1. ຕຳແໜ່ງ: Place the water softener on a stable, level surface near the main water supply and a drain. Ensure adequate space for maintenance and salt refilling.
2. ການເຊື່ອມຕໍ່ທໍ່ນໍ້າ: Connect the main water inlet to the softener's inlet and the softener's outlet to your household's water distribution system. Use the provided fittings and ensure all connections are watertight. A bypass valve system is recommended to allow for maintenance without interrupting the main water supply.
3. ສາຍລະບາຍ: Connect the drain line from the softener to an appropriate drain, ensuring there is an air gap to prevent back-siphonage.
4. Brine Line: Connect the brine line from the control valve to the brine tank.

6. ຄໍາແນະນໍາການດໍາເນີນງານ

The Wiltec NW-SOFT-C1 features automatic operation once initial settings are configured.

6.1 Initial Setup and Hardness Setting

1. ເປີດ: Once installed and filled with water, connect the power. The control panel will illuminate.
2. ຕັ້ງຄ່າຄວາມແຂງຂອງນ້ຳ: Use the control panel to set the initial water hardness level. Refer to your local water utility for this information. This setting is crucial for the softener to calculate regeneration cycles accurately.
3. ການ​ຕັ້ງ​ຄ່າ​ເວ​ລາ​: Set the current time of day on the control panel.
4. Regeneration Cycle: The system will automatically initiate regeneration cycles based on water usage and the set hardness level.

6.2 Ion Exchange Process

The softener uses a resin bed to remove hardness minerals (calcium and magnesium) from your water. As water passes through the resin, these minerals are exchanged for sodium ions. Over time, the resin becomes saturated with hardness minerals and needs to be regenerated.

6.3 Automatic Regeneration

When the resin bed reaches its capacity, the control unit automatically initiates a regeneration cycle. During this cycle, a brine solution (saltwater) from the brine tank is drawn through the resin bed. This brine solution flushes the accumulated hardness minerals from the resin, which are then sent to the drain. The resin is recharged with sodium ions, restoring its softening capacity. The regeneration process typically takes about 30 minutes.

7. ບໍາລຸງຮັກສາ

Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and efficiency of your water softener.

7.1 ການເຕີມເກືອ

The brine tank must always contain enough salt for regeneration. Check the salt level regularly (e.g., monthly). When the salt level drops below one-quarter full, refill the tank with water softener salt. Use only high-quality salt pellets or crystals designed for water softeners.

7.2 Resin Cleaning (Automatic)

The NW-SOFT-C1 features an automatic self-cleaning system for the resin, which prevents fouling and extends the life of the installation. The integrated electrolysis produces automatic cleaning, ensuring prolonged efficiency without manual washing.

8. ການແກ້ໄຂບັນຫາ

This section addresses common issues you might encounter with your water softener.

• Water is still hard:
  • Check salt level in the brine tank. Refill if necessary.
  • Ensure the initial water hardness setting on the control panel is correct.
  • Verify that the bypass valve is not fully open, allowing untreated water to bypass the softener. Adjust if needed to achieve desired hardness (e.g., 5-8 °f).
  • Check for any blockages in the brine line or drain line.
• Excessive salt consumption:
  • Review the water hardness setting; it might be set too high.
  • Check for leaks in the brine tank or lines.
• Control panel display issues (e.g., incorrect language):
  • Consult the detailed manual (if available online) for specific instructions on changing language settings, as generic manuals may not cover this.
• Water pressure drop:
  • Check for sediment buildup in the pre-filter (if installed) or the softener's inlet.
