1) INTRODUCTION
Thank you for purchasing this AL series water softener. Please
set the machine at work only after reading this instruction ma-
nual carefully. In case of trouble, please contact your retailer
for assistance. Keep this manual for future reference.
2) HOW DOES A WATER SOFTNER WORK?
Thanks to the ionic exchange resins inside the cylinder, the
water softener traps magnesium and calcium salts dissolved
in the water, getting rid of water hardness and preventing sca-
le formation. In order to safeguard the correct functioning of
resins, it is essential that you periodically put salt in the brine
tank (fig. 7). Salt will be collected in the form of salty water
during the regeneration cycle. If there is a salt shortage in the
brine tank, the water softener will warn the user with visual
and/or acoustic signals. In addition, during the regeneration,
the water softener will also perform resins disinfection to pre-
vent the formation of bacteria.
3) SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
The main components of the water softener are:
• 1 5-cycle ALIA valve (fig. 1, C) with the following features:
- It can be programmed in 5 different languages
- With the "setting at work" program, it performs the va-
rious steps for the setting at work autonomously
- With the "resins rinse" function, the resins can be rinsed
- The resins regeneration can be performed at a precise
time and day chosen by the user
- Regenerations can be performed following a weekly pro-
gram
- Regenerations can be performed with an interval of 1 to
30 days
- Regenerations can be performed in a semi-automatic
way, only when the appropriate key is pressed
- Resins disinfection is performed during regeneration
- If a salt shortage is detected, a visual and/or acoustic
signal will warn the user
• 1 brine tank for the cylilnder and the salt (fig. 1, A)
• 1 cylinder containing the resin suitable for water softening
(fig. 1, D)
