Once set up, operating the water softener is straightforward:
- Open Water Supply: Slowly open the water tap to allow water to flow through the softener and into your cleaning equipment.
- Monitor Flow Meter: The flow meter will display the volume of water that has passed through the softener. The resin beads can filter up to 1000 liters of water per cycle before regeneration is needed.
- Perform Cleaning Task: Use the softened water for your desired cleaning application, such as washing cars, windows, or solar panels, to achieve spot-free results.
- Check Water Hardness Periodically: Use the test strips to periodically check the hardness of the output water. When the water starts to show signs of hardness again, it's time to regenerate the resin.
- Close Water Supply: After use, close the water tap and disconnect the hoses.

7. Mantentzea
7.1. Resin Regeneration
The ion-exchange resin needs to be regenerated after approximately 1000 liters of water have been processed, or when the output water shows signs of hardness. Regeneration restores the resin's ability to remove calcium and magnesium.
Beharrezko materialak: Normal table salt (sodium chloride).
- Deskonektatu mahuka-hodiak: Disconnect the inlet and outlet hoses from the water softener unit.
- Kendu tapa: Unscrew and remove the lid with the carrying handle from the top of the unit.
- Gehitu gatza: Pour a sufficient amount of normal table salt into the unit. The exact quantity may vary, refer to the unit's markings or a general guideline of 1-2 kg for a full regeneration.
- Urez bete: Slowly add water to the unit until the salt is dissolved and the resin is submerged. Stir gently if necessary to help dissolve the salt.
- Busti: Allow the salt solution to soak with the resin for at least 30 minutes to an hour. This allows the ion-exchange process to reverse, releasing calcium and magnesium and recharging the resin with sodium.
- Hustu: Reattach the lid and hoses. Connect the inlet hose to your water source and the outlet hose to a drain or an area where the salty water can be safely discharged. Slowly open the water source and flush the unit thoroughly until all salty water is expelled and the water runs clear and tasteless. This typically takes several minutes.
- Test Hardness: After flushing, use a test strip to confirm that the water is soft again.
