Installation Procedure - BWT A6X Instrucciones De Montaje Y Uso

The numbers in bold refer to the marks in chapter INSTALLATION - OVERVIEW
Tighten the hydraulic block
The preliminary tightening of the
hydraulic block upon the vessel is
crucial because untightening during
transportation may have occurred.
Check the power outlet
Check that there is a power outlet
of 230 V at less than 1.20 meters.
Install the pre-filter (7)
Place and connect the filter upstream
from the softener.
Comply with the water flow direction
as shown on the filter head.
Fix the filter head on the wall with
the bracket, without tightening too
much the screws on the filter head.
Put the softener (1) in place
Place the device in its definitive position (see dimensions on the Scope
of Delivery sheet)
The floor shall be clean and horizontal.
The controller unit (2) and the lid shall remain accessible.
Connect the hydraulic block
21
23
Connect the brining tube (9) to the quick fitting (20).
Connect the in and out flexible hoses (13) respectively on the flange
fittings (21) and (22) of the hydraulic block.
Connect the drain tube (8) on the splined fitting (23) and tighten it with
a hose clamp (Serflex type). Connect the plug of the chlorination cell if
your softener has this option (24).
Complete the connections and purge the air.
Before opening the water inlet into the installation, purge and rinse properly the pipes upstream from the bypass.
Connect the inlet and outlet flexible hoses (13) to the network pipe, by paying attention to the water flow direction.
Progressively open the bypass tap (or the upstream cutting valve of the installation).
Purge the remaining air by using the purging screw upon the filter (unscrew it, then screw it back once the air is purged) or by a downstream
tapping point if the filter is not equipped.
Plug the softener to the electricity outlet.

INSTALLATION PROCEDURE

Check the network pressure
The pressure must be within the
limits indicated in the additionnal
sheet. Above 7 bars, install a pres-
sure reducer.
Insert a tap for non-softened water (14)
In case you need to keep raw water
(for example for gardening, etc.)
Install the by-pass (12)
Note: the shown by-pass is wall-mounted single block brass by-pass
Install the bypass on the pipe
complying with the water flow
direction.
Turn the bypass tap into the softe-
ner by-pass position.
Set and connect the brine valve (5)
Open the salt lid (4), remove the
cap (17), then the brine valve (5)
from its well (16). Set the float
height (X), rod pulled, at the value
provided on your Scope of Delivery
sheet.
Check that the brining tube (9) is
cut straight on its ends, put it on
the sheath (15), then tighten it
on the fitting located on the brine
valve foot (18), using the fly nut
(19). Put the brine valve (5) back
into the bottom of the well (16),
pass the brining tube (9) through
the hole of the cap (17), then put
this cap back upon the well (16).
Pass the brining tube (9) through the dedicated hole in the salt tank,
making sure that this tube does not bend anywhere.
Connect drain outlets.
Connect the drain tube (8) to the
upper fitting of the siphon (11) and tigh-
22
ten it with a hose clamp (Serflex type).
The siphon ensures the mandatory
protection of the domestic water circuit
20
against sewage backflow.
24
Connect the tube of the salt tank
overflow (10) to the side fitting of the
siphon (11), respecting a slope of mini-
mum 2% (2 cm per meter) from the tank
overflow to the siphon. Then tighten it
with a hose clamp (Serflex type).
The overflow must take benefit of gravity and follow a simple and short
way. If not possible, install a lift pump compatible with salted water.
Connect the siphon (11) to the drain by a rigid PVC tube with a
diameter of 40 mm, tightened on the fitting (25).
