6.3.1 Performance examples using chart
Chart refers to a
sodium limit
of 150 mg/l
Example 2
Example 1:
•
Concentration of alkalis in the supply water c r (Ca²+) = 5.3 mol/m³
•
Sodium concentration in the supply water c (Na+) = 0 mg/l
From the point where the alkaline value 5.3 mol/m³ intercepts with the c (Na+) value 0 mg/l;
go horizontally across to the left hand scale, which then gives the result that:
ð
The residual hardness in the mixed water must be at least c
Example 2:
•
Concentration of earth alkalis in the supply water c r (Ca²+) = 3.5 mol/m³
Sodium concentration in the supply water c (Na+) = 100 mg/l
•
ð
The residual hardness in the mixed water must be at least c

7. Guidelines for operation
Regularly check the salt level
Every four weeks
Regularly check the regeneration function
This is indicated by salt consumption and by checking the regeneration indicators
R1, R2 and R3.
After longer stagnation periods (e.g. holiday) it is recommended to start a manual regeneration
cycle before water draw off.
8. Maintenance
The appliance should be maintained regularly and at intervals of no longer than one year
The maintenance should be carried out only by competent persons.
9. Fault finding, causes and rectification
Fault
Cause
No water
Wrong connection direction
No water in drain
Height difference between
hose during
drain connection on the
kaltec
regeneration
Cool and drain too
great
Flow rate too small
Takeoff volumes do not
correspond with performance
of appliance
Regenerates too
There is no fault, but unit is reacting properly. The appliance is
frequently
working with maximum efficiency (salt usage) to it's full capacity and
precisely when required and that can also be during the day.
Older, time-controlled models regenerate mostly during the night,
irrespective of whether this is necessary.
Regeneration does
not stop
Salt consumption
too high
Too much water
in consumables
container
Salty taste in
drinking water
