B Basic information

1 | Laws, regulations, standards

In the interest of good health, rules cannot be ignored when it comes to the processing of drinking water (raw water). This operation manual takes into consideration the current regulations and stipulates information that you will need for the safe operation of your water treatment system.

Among other things, the regulations stipulate that

only approved companies are permitted to make major modifications to water supply facilities

and that tests, inspections and maintenance on installed devices are to be performed at regular intervals.

2 | Water, scale, softening

The water works provide us with pure water (raw water) that is suitable for drinking. However, this water is much more often used for washing machines, heating systems, water heaters, commercial devices, etc., where it can lead to problems if it is "hard".

Hard water is generated if water containing carbon dioxide* flows through layers of calcium. It dissolves the calcium until the so-called calcium - carbon dioxide - equilibrium has been reached.

If this equilibrium is unsettled (e.g. by heating CO2 escapes) more calcium (CaCO3) is precipitated (scale).

Note: Calcium ions and magnesium ions exist side by side in nature, e.g. in the mineral dolomite.

Hardness ranges according to the German Act on Environmental Sustainability of Detergents and Cleaning Agents (WMRG):

The total hardness of the water is the sum of the concentrations of calcium ions and magnesium ions.

From hardness range "medium" onwards, it is advisable to soften the water for usage. Additional measures may be necessary depending on the original quality of the water and its intended use.

* CO2 from the atmosphere is dissolved in water. In this process, a low amount of carbon dioxide is generated.

Hardness range °dH °f mmol/l =

mol/m3 1 (soft) < 8.4 < 15.0 < 1.50 2 (medium) 8.4 - 14.0 15.0 - 25.0 1.50 - 2.50 3 (hard) > 14.0 > 25.0 > 2.50

3 | Ion exchange

Resin

Fig. B-1: Initial position

The exchange of calcium and magnesium ions for sodium ions causes the water to become soft.

Principle The hard raw water flows through an exchanger. This tank is filled with a resin, to which sodium ions are bonded (see Fig. B-1).

Since the bonding positions at the resin prefer calcium and magnesium ions to sodium ions, these ions are retained while the resin discharges sodium ions into the water (exchange reaction). In this way, all substances causing hardness remain in the exchanger. Soft water loaded with sodium ions leaves the exchanger (Fig. B-2). This process continues until the sodium ions are used up.

Hard water

Soft water

Resin

Fig. B-2: Operation

The exchange reaction can be reversed if a large amount of sodium ions (salt solution = brine) is added (Fig. B-3). By their sheer number, the sodium ions displace the calcium and magnesium ions at the docking positions of the resin.

This process restores the initial state. The resin is regenerated and is again ready for softening.

Drinking water (raw water) As protection against corrosion, we recommend a soft water hardness of at least 3 °dH (5.3 °f, 0.53 mmol/l). According to the German Drinking Water Ordinance, the limit value for sodium ions (200 mg/l) must not be exceeded. This hardness is achieved by adding untreated drinking water (raw water), a process which is commonly called blending.

Resin

Waste water

Brine solution

Fig. B-3: Regeneration

Note: Many popular mineral waters contain significantly more sodium ions. Check for yourself by reading the analysis results on the labels.

Warning! Risk of infection due to germs in the drinking water. Germs can reproduce in stagnant water to the point where they pose a threat. Work with water softeners requires special hygienic measures. Ensure that there is sufficient flow. Disinfect the systems if required.

Single/Twin/Triple water softeners In case of single water softeners, no soft water is available during the regeneration phase.

Twin water softeners have two exchangers that alternate operation. As a result, soft water is available at all times.

Triple water softeners consist of three exchangers. Two exchangers are flown through in parallel while the third is being regenerated.

GENO-mat® duo WE-X / WE-OSMO-X water softener

duo WE-X Serial number:

duo WE-OSMO-X Serial number:

Order no.: 2 | Technical specifications

The GENO-mat® duo WE-X water softener is a twin system for the continuous supply of soft water. The system is equipped with a central control valve for both exchangers and is volume-controlled. The regeneration is released when the pre-set water volume in an exchanger tank has been softened. The system regenerates with soft water.

All system data is summarised in tables C-1 and C-2. The data given refers to standard water softeners. Possible deviations in case of special versions are communicated separately, if applicable.

The GENO-mat® duo WE-OSMO-X water softener is only available with full salting. The control electronics is not equipped with an operating and display unit. The system is operated by means of the control electronics of the OSMO-X reverse osmosis system.

Warning! Extended periods of idleness may cause bacterial growth in drinking water. Automatic regeneration counteracts this effect. Therefore, do not disconnect the system from the water and power supply when you are absent for longer periods of time.

Caution! Electrically operated valves. In case of power failure during the regeneration, water may flow into the drain or brine tank. In the event of power failure, check the system and shut-off the water supply, if necessary.

3 | Designated application

Water softeners of the GENO-mat® duo WE-X series are designed for the softening and partial softening of cold drinking and process water. As twin systems, they are suitable for the continuous supply of soft water. There are system types available with regeneration with full salting or economy salting. In this case, the type of regeneration is type-specific and is not allowed to be changed independently.

Note: In order to soften the water to less than 0.1 °dH, only and exclusively systems with full salting may be applied.

The water to be softened has to be free of iron and manganese (less than 0.2 mg iron and/or 0.05 mg manganese per litre). Its temperature must not exceed 30 °C. The maximum ambient temperature is 40 °C.

The systems are used for the (partial) softening of well, process, boiler feed, cooling and air-conditioning water.

When softening drinking water, the provisions of the German Drinking Water Ordinance are binding (residual hardness of 3 °dH - 8 °dH, max. sodium content of 200 mg/l (chapter E-2.1.). A blending valve for mixing supply water is also needed.

The system is adjusted to the soft water requirements to be expected at the installation site, it is not suitable for major deviations. The maximum continuous flow must not be exceeded under any circumstances.

The system may only be operated if all components are installed properly. Safety devices and equipment must NEVER be removed, bridged or tampered with.

Appropriate application of the device also implies that the information contained in this operation manual and all safety guidelines applying at the installation site be observed. Further-more, the maintenance and inspection intervals have to be observed.

4 | Application limits

The application limit is defined by the maximum continuous flow corresponding to the data in tables C-1 and C-2 for raw water in the hardness ranges 1 - 3. With very hard water (from hardness range 4 onwards), there may be a drop in the continuous flow. In this case, the application limit of the system is defined by the formula:

hardnessBlendinghardnesswaterRaw

capacityTimeflowcontinuousMaximum

The time capacity is summarised in tables C-1 or C-2.

1.1 Water installation It is imperative that you comply with certain regulations when installing the GENO-mat® duo WE-X water softener. Additional recommendations are given in order to facilitate the handling of the system. The installation instructions described below are also illustrated in Fig. D-1.

Binding rules

The installation of a water softener represents a major interference with the drinking water system. Therefore, only authorised experts may install such systems.

Please observe the local installation guidelines and the general regulations.

Install a drinking water filter upstream (e.g. BOXER®).

Use corrosion-resistant material for soft water lines OR Meter corrosion inhibitor downstream of the water softener.

Provide a drain connection (minimum DN 50) to discharge the regeneration water.

Note: If the regeneration water is directed to a lifting system, said system must be salt water resistant.

The unit does not carry a DVGW test certificate. Provide additional safety equipment for protection of the drinking water in line with DIN 1988. Therefore:

Isolate the water softener from the drinking water supply in line with DIN 1988 part 4 (e.g. by the use of the GENO® DK 2 Euro system separator).

Recommendations

Provide a sampling valve immediately downstream of the softener. This facilitates the sampling for the regular hardness tests (functional check).

Warning! Floor drains leading to a lifting system do not work in case of a power failure.




21

1.2 Electrical installation

A shock-proof plug is adequate for the electrical connection. However, it must comply with the specifications given in table D-1, may not be further away from the softener than 1.20 m and must carry constant voltage (do not couple with light switch).



22

1.2.1 Connections to other subsystems within the water softener The following connections are preset internally at the factory and

must not be modified (cables to be connected by the client are marked with *).

2 | How to set up the system

2.1 How to set the blending hardness

The small systems with economic salting (GENO-mat® duo WE-X 50, WE-X 130, WE-X 230) are equipped with a blending unit as standard. This blending unit is

available as additional equipment for the GENO-mat® duo WE-X 65, WE-X 150, WE-X 300 systems.

Larger systems can be fitted with a blending valve R 1¼" as additional equipment. If both soft water with 0 °dH and blended water are needed, this blending valve is also recommended for small systems. Refer to the operating manual for the blending valve in systems with this equipment.

Caution! If the water softener is installed before a reverse osmosis system, the feed line to the reverse osmosis system is not allowed to be configured as a blending water line.

Note: The provisions of the German Drinking Water Ordinance are binding when softening drinking water.

Sodium content (max:) 200 mg/l Note point 3.1 with regard to the blending hardness!

Example

Softening of drinking water

Supply water (22 °dH) contains sodium (51.6 mg/l)

Possible addition of sodium during softening:

200 mg/l – 51.6 mg/l = 148.4 mg/l

Sodium content Obtain the sodium content of the supply water from your water supply provider. The sodium content increases by approx. 8.2 mg/l when softening water by 1 °dH. The water cannot be softened unrestrictedly if the provisions of the German Drinking Water Ordinance are to be adhered to. The permissible blending hardness results from the limit value for the sodium content and the supply water hardness.

200 mg/l (limit value according to the Drinking Water Ordinance)

– x mg/l (sodium content in the supply water)

This means that the maximum permissible softening is:

y mg/l (permissible addition of sodium during softening)

Conclusion: Blend to at least 22 – 18 = 4 °dH!

y

8 2,= Z °dH (maximum possible softening)

The supply can be softened to a maximum of Z °dH. Depending on the sodium content of the supply water, a blending hardness needs to be selected which is below the admissible maximum of 200 mg/l.

2.1.1 Recommendations

Blending hardness Blending hardness

Result

3 – 5 °dH Very soft water – ideal for thermal equipment – possible problems when washing off soap

6 – 8 °dH Optimum soft water




31

Setting the blending unit In the GENO-mat® duo WE-X 50, duo WE-X 130 and duo WE-X 230 systems, the blending unit described here is mounted on the control valve. Optionally, small systems with full salting can be equipped with it. In all other cases, the operating manual for the installed blending valve applies.

1. Open the valve on the raw water inlet.

2. Open the valve on the soft water outlet.

3. Set the adjusting cap (1) to a mean scale value.

4. Take a water sample at the sampling valve downstream of the system.

5. Perform a hardness test using the "Total hardness" water inspection device.

6. Set the blending hardness as required. In order to do so:

Turn the adjusting cap to the left (close) so as to reduce the blending hardness.

Turn the adjusting cap to the right (open) so as to increase the blending hardness.

7. Repeat steps 4. and 5. until the desired blending hardness is reached.

2.2 How to set the control

unit The GENO-mat® duo WE-X water softener is volume-controlled. The operating parameters are already stored in the GENO®-IONO-matic WE-X control unit. During start-up, all parameters must be entered which are required for the automatic calculation of the regeneration interval.

Note: For detailed information on the handling of the GENO®-IONO-matic WE-X control unit, please refer to chapter F.

2.2.1 Setting the time and raw water hardness

Starting from the basic display

Press and hold key P for > 1 second. The parameters can be accessed there.



32

3 | How to start up the system 1. Open the valve on the raw water inlet.

2. Release a manual regeneration (chapter F). Starting from the basic display, press and hold key for 5 seconds. An exchanger is now regenerated.

3. When the first manual regeneration has finished: Start a manual regeneration again, the second exchanger is now regenerated.

Note: All systems with low-salt alarm have a delay time set bet-ween 2 regenerations (factory setting: 0.2 hours = 12 minutes). At the end of the regeneration, it is necessary to wait for this time to elapse before a manual regeneration can be triggered again.

4. Open the valve on the soft water outlet after regeneration has finished.

5. Perform a visual check. Ensure that no water leaks from the system at any point.

6. Take a water sample at the sampling valve downstream of the system.

7. Perform a hardness test using the "Total hardness" water inspection device. The system is working correctly if the analysis of the water taken just downstream of the exchanger tank gives 0 °dH.

8. Complete the cover sheet and check list / column 1 of the operating log. To do this, carry out the necessary measure-ments and tests.

G Faults

1 | Basic information

Even carefully designed and manufactured technical systems that are operated properly, may experience malfunctions. There is a difference between warnings and faults:

Warning = signal contact of the control unit opens (terminals 30/31), yellow LED is illuminated

Fault = fault signal contact of the control unit opens (terminals 29/30), red LED is illuminated

As long as the power supply is on and no warning/fault is pending, the signal contact and the fault signal contact are closed.

The warning/fault can be acknowledged using the P key.

Note: Grünbeck's technical customer service/authorised service company must always be notified in the event of faults that cannot be eliminated with the information given in table G-1! When contacting the technical customer service, please indicate the system designation, serial number and the error message displayed.

1.1 Warnings Table G-1: Warnings

This is what you observe This is the cause This is what to do

Service interval The maintenance interval of the water softener has expired

Inform Grünbeck's technical customer service/authorised service company

Low salt Er A Not enough salt in brine tank

Check salt level in brine tank and refill salt tablets as per DIN EN 973 A, if necessary

1.2 Faults Table G-2: Faults

This is what you observe This is the cause This is what to do

Power failure fault Power failure > 1 minute If the power failure has continued for some time, start a manual regeneration to be on the safe side. The water that flowed through the system in the meantime will not have been measured, and the exchanger in operation may have reached the limits of its capacity.

Valve motor fault The next step setting on the control valve was not reached within the required time

If the fault reoccurs within 5 minutes after having been acknowledged, notify Grünbeck's technical customer service/authorised service company

Hard water fault While one exchanger bottle was still undergoing regeneration, the capacity

Malfunction is automatically acknow-ledged as soon as a regenerated exchanger bottle is available again




45

of the other exchanger bottle already expired.

Restrict the system flow to the max. continuous flow (chapter C, technical data table).

Microswitch fault The signal from microswitch S2 is active at terminal 14 outside a regeneration

Check the wiring and function of the switch, and notify Grünbeck’s customer service/authorised service company if necessary

Motor current fault Monitoring of the step motor current has tripped

If the fault reoccurs within 5 minutes after having been acknowledged, notify Grünbeck's technical customer service/authorised service company

H Maintenance

1 | Basic information

In order to guarantee the reliable function of water softeners over a long period of time, some maintenance work has to be performed at regular intervals. This applies in particular to the softening of drinking water where the required measures are defined in the pertinent regulations and guidelines. All regulations and guidelines which apply at the installation site must be strictly adhered to.

DIN 1988 part 8 / A 12 stipulates:

an inspection must be performed at least every 2 months.

Maintenance must be carried out twice a year. In case of water softeners that carry a DVGW certificate, yearly maintenance is sufficient!

Maintenance must be performed by the Grünbeck’s technical service/authorised service company or by an approved company.

An operating log must be kept in order to document the maintenance work performed.

Notes: A maintenance contract ensures that any required maintenance work is performed in due time.

The operating log is attached to this operation manual.

2 | Inspection (functional check)

You may perform the regular inspections yourself. We recommend inspecting the water softener at shorter intervals after installation, before switching over to the standard inspection cycle. However, an inspection is compulsory at least every 2 months.

Please refer to the following summary for the tasks to be performed within the framework of an inspection.

Summary: Inspection work

Determine the raw water hardness. (Water test kit "Total hardness").

Determine the soft water hardness (0°dH (°f, mmol/l)) or the soft water with blending in case of water softeners with blending valve (Water test kit "Total hardness").

Check control unit settings: a) Time b) Raw water hardness

Check salt level in brine tank. If required, refill salt (refer to chapter H-2.1).




47

Caution! If the salt level falls below the minimum filling level, hardness may break through. Observe the minimum salt filling level (see Technical Specifications, chapter C). In case of systems where no specific value is indicated, refill the water softener as soon as the level has fallen to just a few centimetres.

Evaluate the salt consumption with reference to the water volume consumed.

Note: Minor deviations are normal and cannot be prevented technically. If you detect major deviations, please contact Grünbeck’s technical service/authorised service company.

Check control valve to drain for tightness (in operating mode).

2.1 How to refill salt

Warning! Impurities in the brine tank may adversely affect the water quality.

For hygienic reasons be very careful when refilling salt.

Caution! Insoluble impurities in the salt may cause malfunctions at the brine valve and at the injector of the control valve. A defined salt quality is required for the reliable function of the water softener.

Only use salt tablets as per DIN EN 973 type A.

A few precautionary measures ensure hygienically and technically perfect conditions:

Only store the salt in dry and clean areas.

Do not use salt from packages that are already open.

Clean the outside of the packages before opening them.

Fill the regeneration salt directly from the package into the brine tank.

Close the brine tank immediately after refilling.



48

3 | Maintenance

According to DIN 1988 part 8 / A 12, maintenance work at water softeners may only be performed by Grünbeck’s technical service/authorised service company or an approved company.

An operating log must be kept for water softeners. In this operating log, the customer service technician records all maintenance and repair work performed. In case of mal-functions, this log helps to identify possible sources of error. In addition the log documents the proper system maintenance.

Note: Make sure that all maintenance work is recorded in the operating log.

Summary: Maintenance work

Read the water pressure, flow pressure and water meter value.

Determine the hardness Raw water hardness, soft water hardness, 0°dH (°f, mmol/l) test.

Readjust the blending valve and check the blending hardness again, if necessary. With Delta-p®, program the required soft water hardness in the control unit.

Adjust the electronics settings with reference to the measured hardness values.

Check the programming of the control unit.

Check the brine regulation (salting, filling of brine tank) and program settings; readjust them, if necessary.

Check release of regeneration.

Check start of turbine water meter.

Check control valve for tightness, replace wearing seals if necessary, check the proper function of the drive motor of the control valve, clean injector and sieve – typical hydraulic values.

Clean brine tank and brine valve.

Check regeneration salt supply (quantity and quality).

Check hose connections and seals and replace, if necessary.

Caution: Danger of water damage! Damaged or worn hose connections may tear. Therefore, DIN 1988, part 8, paragraph A 12 recommends checking and if necessary replacing the flexible connection hoses.




49

Safety fitting (e.g. system separator) checked for non-return function. Not required in case of intrinsically safe water softeners, in particular water softeners with DVGW test mark!

In water softeners with a disinfection unit: Functional check of the disinfection unit (measure flow). - With Delta-p®, only possible with code -.

If necessary, read regeneration counter, total soft water volume, error memory. - With Delta-p®, system data printout is possible via serial port -.

If necessary, reset service interval.

Record all data and activities, including repair work in the operating log.

Hand over the water softener and the filled out operating log to the owner-operator.

3.1 Operating log The operating log is attached to this operation manual. When

starting up the system, make sure to record all data on the cover sheet of the operating log and fill in the first column of the checklist.

The customer service technician will fill in a column of the check list whenever maintenance is performed. This document provides evidence of proper maintenance.
