Water2buy Water softener User manual

The Water Softener is a device designed to remove hardness from your water. It does this by using a process called ion exchange. The water softener uses a resin bed that traps the calcium and magnesium ions in your water and replaces them with sodium ions. This makes the water softer and prevents scale buildup in your pipes and appliances.

Frequently asked questions

You can use any water softener salt of good quality, including “rock,” “pellet,” “solar,” or “evaporated” types. All rock salt, regardless of source, contains insoluble material, which collects at the bottom of the salt storage tank and requires periodic clean out.

You can start a manual regeneration by turning the manual backwash knob clockwise to the first position. The process will take approximately 1 hour.

Salt levels need to be maintained at approximately 100mm above the bottom of the tank and 50mm from the top of the tank.

If you unexpectedly experience hard water, make these simple checks before calling Water2buy. Run a manual regeneration, check your power supply, check for a blown fuse, check your salt supply, and check to see if you have a continuous flow to the drain.

Tighten the brine suction hose connection, tighten the connection between the control valve and vessel, and clean the injectors.

We recommend watching the videos on www.water2buy.com. Do not place heavy objects on top of the salt storage tank or case. Use only mild soap and warm water when cleaning the exterior of the softener. Never use harsh, abrasive cleaning compounds or those, which contain acid, such as vinegar, bleach and similar products. Warning: Protect your water softener and the entire drain line from freezing temperatures. Danger: If your unit should freeze, do not attempt to disassemble it. Contact Water2buy.com.

How can the regeneration frequency of a water softener be reduced?

The method depends on the type: For Meter Softeners, adjust the Regeneration Capacity (REG.CAP.) setting, which determines regeneration based on water usage and hardness. For Timer Softeners, the frequency is set using the skipper wheel on the control valve. Push all pins in initially, then push out ('ON') the required number of pins at equal distances to match the needed frequency based on household size and water hardness.

What causes resin to be found in the drain line, leading to clogged faucet filters?

Resin in the drain line may be due to iron buildup inside the valve or tank. Cleaning the control, adding resin cleaner, and increasing the regeneration frequency can help. It could also be due to foreign material obstructing the control inlet; in that case, remove the piston and clean the control valve.
