4. Installation Instructions (cont.)
4.3 Testing water quality
The HYDRIM M2 G4 is equipped with
a built-in water softening system that must
be adjusted according to the local water
hardness. To read local water hardness,
proceed as follows:
1. The water test kit included with your
HYDRIM contains three water
hardness test strips in bags. Take a
water sample from the location where
the machine will be installed.
2. Open one of the bags, remove the
test strip and dip it into the water.
3. Compare the color of the strip with
the chart on the back of the bag.
Determine the water hardness according
to the chart on the water test kit envelope.
4. Power the unit on and select the
Settings key from the main menu.
5. Go to the Setup Menu and select
"Set Regeneration".
6. Using the up and down arrows, set the
water softener regeneration level
according to the water hardness table
in this section. If your water hardness
falls between two settings, select the
higher setting.
7. Unscrew the water softener container
lid from the bottom right of the chamber
and pour at least 1 L of water. Then fill
the salt container to the top (maximum
1 kg / 2.2 lbs) with salt.
8. Close by screwing the lid tightly back
into place and run a complete cycle
with no instruments.. An improper seal can lead to corrosion.
*Please note: The water test strip is only accurate up to 250 ppm. If the reading on the test strip exceeds
250 ppm and/or if the location in which the HYDRIM is installed has known water quality problems, having
a more detailed and accurate water test done by a test lab is strongly recommended.
