Maintenance - Leyco IQsoft IQ-CS Instructions D'installation & Emploi

RECOMMENDATION
Notwithstanding the reliability of the appliance, we strongly
recommend to have it serviced and maintained on a regular
basis by a competent and duly trained technician. He will be
able to determine the appropriate maintenance interval for
the appliance, depending on your specific application and the
local operating conditions. The advantages of performing
regular maintenance are:
•
regular check of the local operating conditions (water
quality, pressure, etc);
•
regular control and adjustment of the settings of the
appliance, to guarantee it operates at maximum
efficiency;
•
minimize the risk of unexpected break-down.
Contact your dealer or installer for more information, or visit
our website.
ROUTINE CHECKS
Regularly the user should perform a basic check to verify if the
appliance is functioning correctly, on the basis of the
following control points:
1. Check settings of electronic control panel.
2. Measure water hardness before/after appliance.
3. Check drain line from control valve; there shouldn't be
any water flow (unless appliance is in regeneration).
4. Check drain line from brine cabinet overflow; there
shouldn't be any water flow.
5. Check appliance and surrounding area; there shouldn't be
any water leakages.
BYPASSING THE APPLIANCE
Occasionally it may be necessary to put the appliance
hydraulically in bypass, i.e. to isolate it from the water
distribution system; f.e.:
•
in case of an urgent technical problem;
•
when it is not necessary to supply treated water to the
house/application (refill swimming pool, irrigation,...).

The appliance needs 'brine' for its periodic regenerations. This
brine solution is made from water, that is automatically dosed
in the brine cabinet by the control valve, and water
conditioner salt. The user should make sure that the brine
cabinet is always kept full of water conditioner salt. Therefore
he should periodically check the salt level inside the brine
cabinet and refill it if necessary; the salt level alarm will
remind him of this on a regular basis. The salt lid can be
removed completely to facilitate refilling. The brine cabinet is
equipped with internal LED illumination; press any button on
the control panel to activate it.
Ideally the level of water conditioner salt inside the brine
cabinet is kept between 1/3 and 2/3. A lower level of water
conditioner salt can cause insufficient brine saturation,
resulting in a loss of softening capacity. A higher level of water
conditioner salt can cause salt bridging (hard crust or salt
bridges in the brine cabinet). When you suspect salt bridging:
•
carefully pound on the outside of the brine cabinet to
break loose the salt bridges;
•
using a broom (or like blunt tool) carefully push the salt to
break it apart;
•
pour warm water over the top of the salt to dissolve it.
To retain the appearance of the appliance, simply wipe it with
a damp cloth or clean it with a mild soap solution; never use
abrasive cleaners, ammonia or solvents.
Other contaminants (f.e. iron) present in the feed water can
cause the resin bed to foul up, resulting in a loss of softening
capacity. An approved resin cleaner can be used periodically
to thoroughly clean the resin bed.
