instruction manual
water softener
1) DEAR CUSTOMER,
thank you for purchasing our MINI - MAXI water softener.
Please set the water softener at work only after reading this
instruction manual. In case of trouble, please contact your re-
tailer for assistance. For future reference, keep this manual to-
gether with the water softener.
2) HOW DOES A MINI - MAXI WATER
SOFTENER WORK?
The MINI - MAXI water softener, thanks to the ionic exchange
resins contained inside the bottle, traps the Magnesium and
Calcium salts dissolved in the water, removing water hardness
in excess and preventing the formation of limescale.
In order to guarantee a correct functioning of the resins, it is
important to add salt to the brine tank periodically (fig. 7).
3) THE PACKAGING CONTAINS:
• 1 MINI - MAXI Series water softener with cationic resins
adapt for softening
• 1 instruction manual
• 4 metres of unloading pipe
• 1 overflow curved union joint
• 1 hose fitting for the unloading pipe

7) SECURITY WARNINGS
Please read carefully the following warnings before installing
the fixture:
1. Installation and maintenance must be carried out only by a
qualified personnel, well practised with this kind of fixture
and who thoroughly knows current local safety regulations;
2. Before installation, make sure the fixture is not faulty or da-
maged because of transport; failing this, please contact
your retailer;
3. The water softener only guarantees the softening of cold
drinkable water. Any other use is considered unreasonable;
4. Repair and maintenance must be carried out only with the
original spare parts;
5. Do not expose the fixture to rain and damp;
6. Do not touch or use the water softener with wet or damp
hands or feet, or barefoot;
7. Before connecting the fixture to the electric network, make
sure the available line voltage corresponds to the voltage
indicated by the tag on the fixture;
8. The electrical plants must be provided with a working
earthing arrangement to prevent any danger;
9. Make sure the maximum pressure of the water network
does not exceed 8 bar, otherwise please install a pressure
reducer.
Should you not follow the above-mentioned warnings,
the manufacturer is not responsible for any damage
and/or injury.
8) INSTALLATION
8.1 POSITIONING
Choose the place where to position the fixture considering
that:
1. the temperature of the place must range between 4°C and
30°C;
2. the water softener must be easily reachable, since salt mu-
st be loaded periodically in the brine tank (fig. 7);
3. the distance between the water softener and the unloading
system must be as short as possible.
4. the water softener must be put on a horizontal surface;
5. the flexible connection pipes must not be flattened or have
too narrow elbows, so that water can flow out without run-
ning into obstacles;
6. if the water softener is close to a boiler, make sure pipes
and the water softener itself don't overheat; if possible,
keep at least a 3-metre piping between the outlet of the
water softener and the boiler inlet.
7. do not install the water softener near acid or corrosive sub-
stances or fumes.
8.2 ELECTRIC NETWORK CONNECTION
Before plugging the fixture into the supply network, make sure
the plug is compatible with the socket. This fixture was built in
accordance with the essential safety requirements set by the
following European regulations: Low Voltage Directive
2006/95/CEE and 93/68/CEE (electrical safety),
Electromagnetic compatibility 2004/108/CEE and
93/68/CEE (electrical safety). Installation must be carried
out in accordance with the law on electrical plants (CEI
64.8).
8.3 WATER NETWORK CONNECTION
Make sure the pressure of the water network ranges between
2 bar and 8 bar; if pressure is higher than 8 bar, the installa-
tion of a pressure reducer is required. If it is lower than 2 bar,
