combines with the deposit forming ions of the water

causing salt ions to be released into the water. The resin needs to reactivated once these salt ions have been used up. How often reactivation takes place will depend on water usage and the water hardness level. The reactivation interval is set via the weekly disc in the control unit. Reactivation is carried out automatically. Minimum flow pressure The PG 8090 Monoblock water softener needs a minimum flow pressure of approx. (200 kPa) 2.0 bar when used in conjunction with a fresh water system dishwasher without a built-in water softener. The PG 8090 Monoblock water softener needs a minimum flow pressure of approx.

Find out the mains water hardness level in your area. The Miele authorised service technician will require this information in order to set the correct reactivation interval for the water hardness level.

Please make a note of the water hardness level here. Hardness level: The service engineer will connect the Monoblock water softener to the water supply, fill the resin cartidges with water and start the system. The built-in salt valve limits the amount of water going into and out of the unit by means of a float switch to ensure there is sufficient salt available for reactivation. Only use reactivation salt that is suitable for water softeners. It is important to use good quality reactivation salt. Only use salt tablets or coarse grained reactivation salt (8 - 15 mm grain). Never use cooking salt, as it contains particles which do not dissolve in water. These particles can cause a blockage in the Monoblock water softener. Filling the salt container

Remove the lid. ^ Fill the salt container with salt tablets or coarse grained reactivation salt via the salt filler inlet. Capacity: 10 kg First fill: 10 kg Do not let any salt get into the salt valve tube. The valve is protected by a cover. Make sure that this is closed.
