Frequently Asked Questions - PW50CS HONEYWELL

How to adjust the residual hardness of the treated water?

To adjust the residual hardness, use the mixing needle valve on the valve. Remove the cap, then turn the handle to obtain the desired hardness (e.g., 10°f or 6°dH). Do not exceed the 'maxi' position. Replace the cap after adjustment. The recommended residual hardness is 1.0 mmol/l (corresponding to about 10°f). Note that the sodium content must not exceed 200 mg/l.

What to do in case of a power failure?

After a power outage, it is necessary to reset the time (see chapter 10.1). Other settings (capacity, forced regeneration, etc.) are retained. It is recommended to start a manual regeneration after the power supply is restored (see chapter 10.3).

How often should the softener be cleaned and how?

Cleaning should be done every six months (or according to local conditions). Procedure: put the device in 'bypass' position, remove the cover and the lid of the salt tank, clean the inside and outside of the tank as well as the brine hose with water and a cloth (without solvents). Replace the cover and lid, then switch back to 'service' position. Annual maintenance by a professional is also required.

How to start a manual regeneration?

There are two ways: 1) Briefly press the 'manual regeneration' button (about 5 seconds): regeneration starts immediately. 2) Briefly press the programming button: regeneration starts at the preprogrammed time (the indicator flashes). During regeneration, the display shows the active phase and remaining time.

What type of salt to use?

Use pellet salt for softeners conforming to EN 973. Do not use table salt or unsuitable rock salt. Fill the tank with a bag of salt after manually adding water to about 3 cm height. Let the brine form for 1 to 12 hours before the first regeneration.

What is the required operating pressure?

The operating pressure must be between 2.0 and 8.0 bar. If the supply pressure exceeds 8.0 bar, it is imperative to install a pressure reducer upstream. If it exceeds 4 bar, it is advisable to install one. The minimum pressure required for brine suction is 2.0 bar.

How to install the device?

Installation must be carried out by a qualified professional. Choose a location protected from frost and heat. A drain connection to the sewer must be available within 5 m and with a maximum height difference of 2 m. Mount the adapter with the bypass valve, connect the drain hose (minimum internal diameter 13 mm). Pay attention to the flow direction (arrow). After installation, set the time and trigger a manual regeneration.

What does the display mean during regeneration?

During regeneration, the display shows the active phase (phase 1 to 4) and the remaining time for that phase. For example, 'Phase 2, 27 min' means phase 2 is in progress and 27 minutes remain. The total duration of the 4 phases varies by model: about 52 min for PW50-AS, 77 min for PW50-BS, and 102 min for PW50-CS. After phase 4, the device returns to normal mode.

How to set the time on the softener?

Set the time using the 'H' (hour) and 'M' (minute) buttons. Hold down the buttons to scroll faster. The time is in 24-hour format. In normal operation, the display alternately shows the time and the remaining capacity (in liters).

How to maintain the salt tank?

Check the salt level every week. If the salt falls below 10 cm, add pellet salt (conforming to EN 973). To clean the tank, put the device in 'bypass', remove the cover and lid, clean the inside with water and a cloth, check the brine hose. Replace and switch back to 'service'. Do not use solvents.

7. Assembly

7.1 Installations Guidelines

All works should only be carried out by a qualified person
- Ensure that installation is not subject to freezing or extreme heat
- A drain connection within five meters distance or two meters height must be available. The drain hose must not be kinked in any way as this will lead to an overflow of the device
After the device has been installed, the time and the water hardness should be set on the appliance and a manual regeneration be initiated

If the supply pressure exceeds 8.0 bar, a pressure reducer has to be connected!

If the supply pressure exceeds 4 bar, it is recommended to fit a pressure reducer upstream the device.

7.2 Assembly instructions

In order to avoid irreversible damages to the water conditioning device, all welding and soldering work in the immediate vicinity has to be completed prior to assembly!

1. Thoroughly flush pipework
2. Install the water conditioning device
   Note flow direction (indicated by arrow)
   Install without tension or bending stresses
3. Connect the water conditioning device
4. Connect the sewerage tube to the discharge connection (inner tube min. 13mm 1 / 2^ )

Make sure the seal is fitted properly!

8. Commissioning

Commissioning has to take place in the following order!

8.1 Flush and Deaerate

1. Set the water conditioning device to "Bypass" (handles to position cross)
2. Open the main water supply
3. Open the nearest cold water tap and allow the water to run. Impurities and soldering remains are flushed out of the pipework
4. Set the water conditioning device to "Service" (handles to position straight)
5. Deaerate the water conditioning device, flush device for approx. 10 minutes
6. Should the bypass unit be dripping, open and close again
7. Close the cold water tap

Noise development can occur during regeneration due to incompletedeaerating.However,this will disappear after 2-3 regenerations!

8.2 Cabinet

1. Remove covering cap and salt lid. The brine tube remains closed
2. Manually fill water into the cabinet The water level should be approx. 3 cm
3. Fill up the cabinet with a bag of block salt for softeners (according to DIN EN 973)

Wait until the brine formation is sufficient (1h - 12h)!

8.3 Time Setting

1. Connect the mains plug to the power supply o The power supply has to conduct continuous operat ing voltage and should not be connected to a switch
2. Set the time via the 和 and 和 buttons o The clock runs quicker when the 和 and 和 but-tons are held pressed

8.4 Determining Water Hardness

The raw water hardness can be requested from the responsible waterworks or determined via a hardness measuring instrument in the main water supply in front of the water conditioning device.

1. Set the water conditioning device to "Bypass" (handles to position cross)
2. Take a water sample at the first draw-off station
3. Determine the water hardness via a hardness measuring instrument
4. Set the water conditioning device to "Service" (handles to position straight)

8.5 Blending Setting

The desired residual hardness (mixing ratio between raw water and soft water) has to be set at the blending

It is recommended that drinking water keeps a residual hardness of 1.0 mmol/l (equals 100 ppm CaCO3 or 6^ ! The sodium content of the softened drinking water increases by 0.46mg / l per ppm removed hardness (by 46 mg/l per mmol/l removed hardness), and must not exceed the limit value of 200 mg/l!

1. Open sampling point
2. Remove cover from adjustment knob
3. Set blending

o Turn adjuster knob until the desired hardness is reached (recommended: 100 ppm)

o Do not turn in too far!

Position "max"

Position "closed"

In position "closed" no untreated water added to the soft water!

1. Fit cover to adjustment knob
2. Close sampling point
3. The water conditioning device is ready for operation

8.6 Calculating the Set Value for capacity

A value for the capacity has to be set at the water conditioning device according to the water hardness, and is calculated as follows:

Set value = Factor F: (Raw water - Residual Hardness)

Factor F + Figure 8.6

Example 1:

Water conditioning device PW50-AS

Factor F for ^ unit 28.000

Raw water hardness 24°dH

set residual hardness 8° dH

Set value = 28.000 : (24-8)

Set value = 1.750

Example 2:

Water conditioning device PW50-BS

Factor F for ^ unit 42.000

Raw water hardness 19°dH

set residual hardness 5^

Set value = 42.000 : (19-5)

Set value = 3.000

8.7 Capacity Setting

1. Simultaneously press the 和 and 和 buttons for 5 seconds

If p -2 is displayed, press no further buttons (test mode manufacturer)!

Wait for approx. 10 seconds until the current time is redisplayed!

1. Enter the calculated set value via the 和 and 和 buttons
2. Press the button three times to save the setting
