Install and use the Eckstein water softener correctly

Basics of water softening

• There are various methods that are offered as a water softener. The Eckstein water softener exchanges calcium ions for sodium ions. The calcium ions stick to the exchanger. In the subsequent regeneration phase of the ion exchanger, these are discharged into the wastewater. You will get really soft water with this procedure.
• Processes that use magnetic or electric fields to change the calcium ions, so-called physical water softeners, promise that the lime is changed and cannot be deposited. The process has not been scientifically proven. The fact is that you will not get soft water, if the statements of the providers are correct, you will get hard water that does not lead to limescale deposits.
• Eckstein water softeners measurably change the hardness of the water. Soft water is beneficial for washing machines, baths, and showers. The use of soft water in kitchens is controversial. If you have an old pipe network with metal pipes, the lime that has settled on the pipes is an important protection against metal ions getting into the drinking water. If you are old

  copper- or cleaning lead pipes and then using a corner stone water softener, this can even be dangerous. You don't need soft water for the dishwasher, it has a water softener on board.

Installation of corner stone devices

1. There are many of the Eckstein water softeners out there, and most are designed for easy self-assembly. Let us advise you on the system you need. If you choose a device with a bypass, you do not need to build a bypass line.
2. Installation is very easy. You need to connect 2 reinforced hoses between the water pipe and the corner stone water softener. You have to connect the hose that carries the hard water to the left connection of the water softener mount, the hose that goes from the right connection to the line must point in the direction of the tapping points to be assembled. Caution: first close the main water tap.

3. From the overflow of the device you need a hose to one Drain place. Make sure that the drain is lower than the overflow.
4. Now fill in the salt and granules, the granules are already available in some systems. Now connect the system to a socket and turn the water on again at the main water tap.
5. Now set the cubic meter output of the system on the right wheel. Press the red button and set the correct time. Then loosen the 1. Regeneration off by turning the main switch in the direction of the arrow until it audibly triggers.
6. The first regeneration now starts. This takes 1 to 2 hours. The red indicator light indicates that no soft water is being produced. After the regeneration, the green lamp lights up. From now on you can get soft water from the Eckstein water softener.
7. The regeneration now starts every day at 2 a.m., during which time you can only take hard water from the pipes. Set the desired water hardness. It makes sense not to create water that is too soft. A hardness of 6 ° is sufficient.
