Start-Up And Maintenance; Equipment Installation - Kinetico KUBE Serie Manual De Instrucciones

Avoid any external dripping liquids from pipes, wastewa-
ter, etc. Onto the equipment.
Should softened water be supplied to a hot water or
vapour generator, it will be necessary to install a depen-
dable check valve between the water softener and the
generator, in order to prevent hot water from returning
to the system and damaging it.
The existing pipelines must not have deposits of either
iron or limescale. Replace all pipelines containing a
great amount of iron or limescale deposits.

In the event that pipelines are blocked with iron, install
a separete iron filter unit before the water softener.
It is recommended valves are installed to take samples
for both treated and untreated water, as close as pos-
sible to the water softener.
If there are quick-closin valves, it is recommended to
install a device to prevent water hammers.
Precautions:
1. Reading and review: Carefully read all procedures,
guides and regulations before installing and using the
water softening equipment.
2. Treatment of chemicals:Avoid the presence of fla-
mammble products or materials as a safety measure for
preventing the risks of explosion and fire. Make sure to
use the glue and the cleaning prodict for PVC in a we-
ll-ventilated area.
3.Eye orotection: Wear safety goggles during the insta-
llation process to prevent any injury in your eyes, cau-
sed by the ejection of welding materials or matal and
plastic chips.
4. Welding: Use adequate protective aquipment to pro-
tect the exposed surfaces against the flame of the gun
or an excessive temperature inrease. Only use welding
guns WITHOUT LEAD.
5.Grounding: When installing a plastic pipe between two
metallic pipes, a grounding continuity.
6. Easy reach: Use a ladder for working at heights which
are out of reach. If you must work at heights for a pro-
longed period of time, use adequate safety devices.
ATTENTION: we recommend that the installation
is carried out by a qualified installer. Failure to
install the equiment in accordance with this ma-
User's manual
nual will render the Limited Warranty void.
If daytime pressure is heigher than 5.5 bars, nigh-time
pressure may exceed the maximum. Please use a pres-
sure-reducing valve if necessary (a pressure-reducing
valve may reduce the flow).
Note: The Limited Warranty of the equipment does not
cover any damages due to the freesing of the equip-
ment. If you have questions about KUBE water equi-
pment or if you think that it is not working properly,
contact your distributor.

The installation of the water softener must be carried
Sink outlet
out by skilled technical personnel. Follow the recom-
mendations in "Section 5"·
Given that the system that you are going to install im-
proves the quality of the water you consume and is con-
sidered a food, All of the tools that you are going to use
