Preparing WS regeneration station
for operation
1 Close the stop valve of the water sup-
ply.
2 Remove the cover of the control valve.
The programming unit (camshaft and
control valve flaps) of the control valve
becomes visible.
Bring the control valve into the "Opera-
tion, Position 1" position.
In order to do so, push the red pro-
gramme button of the programming unit
and simultaneously turn on the cam-
shaft in a counter-clockwise direction
until the arrow of the programme button
is on "Operation, Position 1".
3 Open the stop valve of the water sup-
ply.
4 Bring the programme button into the
"Backwash, Position 2" position by turn-
ing the camshaft.
Note: Water and air escape from the
wastewater connection now. Continue
to turn the programme button after ap-
prox. 1 minute.
5 Bring the programme button shortly be-
fore the "Replenish and purge, Position
4" position. In order to do so, push the
red programme button of the program-
ming unit and turn the camshaft in a
counter-clockwise direction.
6 Allow the programming unit to automat-
ically travel to the "Operation, Position
1" position.
Note: This takes approx. 15 minutes,
within this time, the air seal valve fills
with water and fills the salt tank via the
suction hose.
If the "Operation, Position 1" position is
reached, turn the programme button to
the "Regenerate wash, Position 3" posi-
tion. The control valve sucks and the
water level in the salt tank slowly de-
creases until it is empty. Empty is equal
to a water level of approx. 7 cm.
Important: If the salt tank is not com-
pletely drained by suction, the suction
system is not sufficiently bled and there
is air in the air seal valve. If this is the
case, start over with step 5.
7 Finally bring the programme button
shortly before the "Replenish and
purge, Position 4" position and allow it
to automatically move to the "Opera-
tion, Position 1" position.
Note: In the process, the salt tank is re-
plenished. If the water is above the
sieve bottom in the salt tank, the salt
can be filled in.
8 Reattach the cover of the control valve.
9 Fill the water tank with at least 5 kg of
salt.
Note: The salt tank can be completely
filled, this does not increase the salt
consumption.
Caution
 Do not use cattle or road salt!
10
 Only use salt in accordance with DIN
19604.
Our salt meets these requirements (or-
der no. 6.287-016.0 - 25 kg).
After completion of this work the WS regen-
eration station is ready for operation.

Regeneration

Regenerating WS 50 / WS 100

1 Control valve
2 Connection hose 1
3 Inlet exchanger
4 Outlet exchanger
5 Connection hose 2
6 Start button
7 Deaeration valve
8 Dial gauge
Connecting WS 50 / WS 100
 Place the WS 50 or WS 100 next to the
WS regeneration station.
 Close the stop valve of the water sup-
ply.
 Connect the connection hose 1 with the
exchanger inlet and the control valve
connection.
 Connect the connection hose 2 with the
exchanger outlet and the control valve
connection.
 Open the stop valve of the water sup-
ply.
 Bleed the exchanger, in order to do so,
open the bleed valve and allow the air
to escape. Then close the valve.
Regeneration
 Push the red start button. The regener-
ation is automatically performed by
means of the programming unit of the
control valve. Duration approx. 2 hours.
Note: The individual functions can also
be selected manually, see Chapter
"Programming unit control valve".
Caution
 Always refill salt in due time, approx. 5
kg are consumed per regeneration.
 Fill salt in when water is visible above
the salt upon removing the cover at the
latest.
 If the salt tank is completely empty, the
regeneration will not be successful

Disconnecting WS 50 / WS 100
After the regeneration has taken place:
 Close the stop valve of the water sup-
ply.
 Bleed the exchanger, in order to do so,
open the bleed valve and allow the air
to escape. Then close the valve.
 Remove the connection hose 1 from the
connection of the control valve and at-
tach it to the dial gauge.
 Remove the connection hose 2 from the
exchanger and attach it to the control
valve.
 The regeneration is completed.
 After the regeneration a soft water de-
termination is to be performed.
See operating instructions WS 50 / WS
100 exchanger.

Maintenance and care

General notes

Danger
Risk of injury!
 Always wear protective goggles when
operating, maintaining and cleaning the
appliance.
 The plug connections are under pres-
sure, depressurise the plant prior to de-
taching the plug connections.

Risk of frost

Caution
 The station must not be exposed to
frost. When setting up the station, the
proper place must be selected.

Maintenance Works

Cleaning the salt tank
at least once a year:
 Bring down the salt level in the salt tank
until water is visible above the salt.
 Remove the remaining salt.
 Pull the suction hose with the suction
strainer out of the guide tube.
 Clean the entire container and reas-
semble it.
 Perform initial start-up (see Chapter "In-
itial start-up") so that the suction system
is bled and the salt tank is filled.
Injector control valve
As part of a maintenance, it is recommend-
ed to clean the injector and the injector
sieve of the control valve.
1 Injector sieve
2 O ring
3 Injector
4 Injector cap
