5.2. Service mode
The system operates on the principle of ionic exchange. The hard water runs over a bed of resin containing sodium ions. The
calcium and magnesium ions attach themselves to the resin and release sodium ions into the water.
The water that comes out of the water softener is soft.
5.3. Regeneration mode
The softening causes the resin to become saturated with a certain amount of hard water. The regeneration phase works on
the principle of inverse ionic exchange. The resin is resupplied with sodium.
During this process, the resin is sent through brine (a mixture of water and salt) counter-flow. After the brine, the resin is
washed by the mains water. The lime and rinsing water are discharged into the drain.
When the water softener is running at 75 % capacity, regeneration is scheduled for 2 o'clock in the morning. When maximum
capacity has been reached, regeneration is triggered immediately.
Aside from being chronometric, the water softener in the Vi range is also volumetric, which means that the water used to
prepare the brine and the resin rinsing water is proportional to the volume of softened water used, as measured by the flow
sensor. The amount of water required for regeneration is calculated by the scheduler.
For reasons of hygiene, the water softener will automatically regenerate every 4 days (European standards) if no water is
being used. Regeneration is proportional to the volumes of soft water used.
6. DESCRIPTION OF THE SCHEDULER
Your new VI comes with the latest generation scheduler and a multi-colour interactive display.
The scheduler allows you to access your system's various technical data. It timely displays information about the state of the
system, using icons or messages.
The display goes into standby mode when the scheduler is not being used for a certain period of time. To reactive the dis-
play, just tap any key. Standby mode allows you to save energy and to check whether your water softener is powered up.
