2. Principles of working

Softening is the process that allows to remove calcium and magnesium from water.These two elements, together with bicarbonate, are the main cause of the scale inside

thermal plant and domestic appliances (heating system, laundry machines, etc.). Theyalso can cause big trouble in many industrial process.The process of softening is featured by ion exchange. The resins contained in the

column exchange the ions calcium and magnesium (Ca++ and Mg++) against sodium ions(Na+), of which they are charged. When the resins are exhausted, they are fully chargedof calcium and magnesium (Ca++ e Mg++) while they do not have any more sodium ions(Na+) available for exchanging and they need to be regenerated.

Regeneration means re-built the charge of sodium ions (Na+) available from sodiumchloride (NaCl), common salt used in kitchen. During regeneration an exchanging back isperformed of sodium ions (Na+) against ions calcium and magnesium (Ca++ e Mg++) whichare carried away to drain. The equipment prepares automatically the brine from the salt(NaCl) in grain or tablets.

 AC and AS  series softeners are used for water treatment for residential and industrialapplications as well. All the materials, resins included, are food grade and approved fordrinking water.

The range of models includes systems with capacity from 1 up to 20 m³/h and capacityfrom 90 up to 4300 m³ x ºF. The working of the system is controlled by an automaticprogrammer, allowing to schedule the frequency and the hour for the regeneration. Thenthe system automatically starts the regeneration that proceed automatically. Duringregeneration, (except for "fast rinse" phase) the system supplies non softened waterthanks to a by-pass inside the automatic valve; for AS/METER models, water supplyduring regeneration is completely inhibited by means of a membrane valve mounted onthe outlet.

These system can be equipped with automatic sterilizing device (Nobel CL 90  or CL

180 ), according to the local laws of some countries for the treatment of drinking water.

4.2. How to remove packaging

The packaging consist of one wooden crates that contain the vessel with resins, onwhich the automatic valves have been already mounted; the brine tanks is shipped asseparated, already assembled and protected by a plastic foil wrapped around.

Open the wooden crate removing, first, the side cover, then withdraw carefully thecontents. Keep the cards and everything contained inside the packaging.

For models AC, which have the brine tank integrated in main structure, the packagingconsist of one carton box.

For models AS 1050 and following, the vessel is empty and is packed in a singlecarton box, pallet-sized for the largest model. The resins are shipped as separated inbags of 25 liters each.

4.3. How to move and lift the unit

The vessel containing the resins can be easily moved until it is in original packaging;

after removed the packaging it can be moved for short stretches by rotating it around theirbase, very carefully, to avoid the breaking of the plastic end.

The empty vessel and the brine tank can be moved avoiding bump or crashing whichcan seriously damage them.

 Always do not move the vessel handling them by the top-mounted control valve.

4.4. Placing (see DRAWING 2a or 2b installation & dimensions)

•  Follow the directions of the dimensional drawing for the correct placing of the unit,according to the dimensions of the available room and the required room for serviceand maintenance.

•  Place the column of resins and the brine tank on a perfectly flat surface.NOTE : AC models, have the brine tank integrated in main structure.

For models AS 1050 and following, the resins are shipped separately.

The resins must be loaded according to the shipped quantity, and proceeding asfollows:

◊  Check that the shipped and available quantity complies exactly with the quantitylisted in the Components Table (see § 8 page 13).

◊  Keep the distribution pipe with bottom nozzle, exactly in the center of the vessel,while loading the resins. Take care that the resins do not fall inside the pipe; it canbe useful to put on the hole a scotch tape or something else, during the loading.

◊  After the loading has been completed, remove the scotch tape, if used, and cleanperfectly the thread hole of the vessel, taking off the spheres of resins that could

be there. Proceed in screwing on the control valve; the distribution pipe must beinserted inside the proper hole in the lower part of the control valve. In order tomake this operation easier, it is suggested to lubricate the end of the pipe or to wetit with water.

◊  After that, check that the O-ring seal from control valve and vessel is not damagedand is properly placed. Screw firmly the control valve on the vessel just tighteningit by hand only. Do not use any tools.

4.5. Hydraulic connections (see DRAWING 2a or 2b installation & dimensions, 

DRAWING 3, 4 or 5 automatic valves )

•  connect the inlet and outlet fittings, placed on the back side of automatic valve, tothe untreated water line. In order to avoid shut-off during maintenance operations,an emergency by-pass line should be provided.

The fittings of automatic valve type S132 (black plastic ones) have to be inserted justpushing them inside the connections of body valve and then fixed with proper pins. Thefittings of valves type S230 and S250 are thread union type (bronze ones).

•  MODELS AS/V only: insert pulse sender water meter, horizontally downstream thesoftener, along the outlet piping.

•  MODELS AS/METER only: insert, pulse sender water meter - membrane valve unit,

horizontally downstream the softener, along the outlet piping. Run the plastic tubes,already connected to the front of the automatic valve, to the fitting placed on thediaphragm valve.

CAUTION: It is recommended to hold the pipes with adequate brackets, to avoid breaking onthe plastic connections.

•  complete the line from the injector fitting placed on the top of the control valve to thefitting of the float valve mounted inside the regenerant tank, using the suppliedplastic tube. For AC models such connection is already done.

•  complete the line from the drain hose connection (placed on the side of automaticvalve), to a floor drain, using a proper sized common flexible rubber or plastic tube

(see § 3.3 page 5).

•  for models AS1355, AS1655, AS1955, AS3000, AS4300 only : the plastic tubingalready connected to the drain fitting of the pilots on rear side of the programmer,must be connected to the main drain line.

•  connect the overflow fitting of the brine tank to a floor drain; this line must runseparately from the above mentioned drain connection.

4.6. Electrical wiring connections

•  Connect the power feeder of the programmer to a power socket; check that theavailable power is correct as listed in technical characteristics (see § 3.2 page 4).

•  MODELS AS/V and AS/METER only: Connect the DIN plug from the pulse senderwater meter on the socket placed on the side of the electronic programmer.

5. End cycle and regeneration

5.1. End cycle

The softeners are equipped with an electronic programmer that allows to schedule theautomatic regeneration (end of cycle).

The regeneration runs according to the following modes :

•  SERIES AS/S :  electro-mechanic time programmer: (24 h, 7 days, max 1regeneration per day)

•  SERIES AC/T ed AS/T :  electronic time programmer : selected time and day (24 h, 14days, max 1 regeneration per day)

•  SERIES AC/SV and AS/SV: 

end-cycle by time/volume (pulse sender inside automaticvalve); regeneration runs at selected time and day (24 h, 14gg, max 1 regeneration per day), or after the preset volume ofwater has been supplied but only at a pre-set time.

•  SERIE AS/V :  as for AS/SV series but with external pulse sender watermeter

•  SERIE AS/METER :  end-cycle by volume; regeneration runs after the presetvolume of water has been supplied, with membrane valve toshut off the flow during regeneration

The end-cycle programming has to be adjusted according to the quality of availablewater and the consumption of water.

The max. quantity of available soft water the equipment can supply between twofollowing regeneration is to be calculated as follows:

where 1°Fr = 10 ppm CaCO3 = 0.56° German

The cycle of all NOBEL softeners are expressed by the number identifying the model(i.e. AS 1350/V, the cycle is 1350 m3 x °Fr).

The regeneration can also be started manually at any time (see instruction of theprogrammer).

5.2. How to select the end-cycle

The programmer installed on the AS/V and AS/METER series allows also workingmode time only, besides volume only and time/volume modes.

Whether it is desired to use the equipment with working mode different than thestandard one, it is possible to select an end-cycle mode different than the pre-set one; it isrequired to select the new mode, according to the explanation in the special instruction ofthe programmer (mod. AQUA TIMER).

5.3. Regeneration

The regeneration phases run one after one, as follows :

1. Backwash: during this phase, the water flush from the bottom to the top of thecolumn, lifting the resins which are mixed together and release the solids trapped onsurfaces of the resins bed during the service. The backwashing water flows to drainfrom the top of the column. This is the only phase, during which the water crossesthrough the column from the bottom to the top. During this phase, it is very importantto check that there is no leakage of resins to the drain. 

2. brine drawing: during this phase, a concentrated solution of water and sodiumchloride (common kitchen salt, in grain or, better, tablet) is drawn from the brine tankto the resins column, by an injector. The brine crosses through the column from thetop to the bottom.

3. slow rinse: it is the first step of the rinse, during which the ion exchanges betweensodium chloride and resins is featured. The time of this phase is not adjusted, sinceit starts when the brine tank is completely empty (all brine has been drawn); aspecial device built-in the brine float valve avoids the air drawing.

4. fast rinse: it is the phase during which the residual of salt is flushed away throughthe resins; at the end of this phase the resins column is ready to start again a newservice cycle.

NOTE: During the fast rinse phase the unit supplies the water to the brine tank, inorder to prepare the brine for the following regeneration. The brine tank refillwill be automatically completed when the level mark of water reaches the floatvalve inside the tank.

NOTE: During regeneration, (except for fast rinse phase), an internal by-pass lineallows the system to supply un-treated water; for AS/METER models, thewater supplying during regeneration is completely inhibited by means of amembrane valve mounted on the outlet line.

See programmer manual for the time of each phase of regeneration.

6. Starting-up and settings

The starting-up of the unit consists of running a first regeneration cycle, during which

the column of resins and brine tank will be filled of water, all automatic features will bechecked and the unit will be prepared to start the service.

During the starting-up is not required that salt is available inside the brine tank. At theend of the first regeneration, fill the brine tank with salt.

See § 3.3 page 5 for recommended quality of salt to be used.

To start-up the unit, proceed as follows :

•  DISCONNECT ELECTRIC POWER

•  Open the by-pass valve, keeping the inlet and outlet ones shut.

•  Turn clockwise the eccentric disk (or cam shaft for models with S250 automaticvalve) located on the back of the programmer, until the first piston is pressed

(BACKWASH).•  Open slowly and not completely the inlet valve. Water will enter from the bottom of

the column as air will be expelled from the top to the drain.

•  Using a pail, add water in the brine tank, until the water mark is approx. 30 cm (12inches) from the bottom (this is required for the initial regeneration only and isautomatically filled thereafter).

•  When only water will come out, open completely the inlet valve and allow the waterflush until the water looks clear.

•  Turn again clockwise the eccentric disk (or cam shaft), until both pistons arepressed (BRINE DRAWING AND RINSE). Check that some water flows to the drainline, while, in the same time, the water flows from the brine tank to the unit. Checkthe water mark diminution in the brine tank (BRINE DRAWING).

•  Turn again clockwise the eccentric disk (or cam shaft), until only the second pistonis pressed. The first piston must be released (FAST RINSE). The water flows to thedrain line; allow the water flowing until the drain water looks perfectly clear. In thesame time the water flows to the brine tank, too, in order to prepare the brine for thefollowing regeneration cycle. The water level inside the brine tank is automaticallyadjusted according to the float valve.

•  Turn clockwise the eccentric disk (or cam shaft), until both pistons are released andnot pressed (SERVICE).

•  Switch on electrical power.

•  Put the salt into the brine tank (it can also be completely filled). Take care not to putsalt inside the protection pipe.

•  open the outlet valve and close the by-pass valve

Starting now the unit is on service and feeds treated water.

WARNING (for models AS1355, AS1655, AS1955, AS3000, AS4300 only) :It can happen a hydraulic misfunction of the control valve (S250), due to specialoperating situations (usually caused by high pressure drop through the inlet Iineof water). Whether it happens, it is possible to solve the problem just closingpartially (reducing the flow of) the gate valve mounted on the drain of the valve.Please, take note that if the gate valve is closed too much, it can compromise thecorrect function of the brine suction during regeneration.

7. Service & Maintenance

Softeners are equipment designed to treat raw water supplied frommunicipalities or from well.

ANY OTHER APPLICATIONS OF THE EQUIPMENT DIFFERENT THAN THEMENTIONED ONES IS MADE UNDER THE ONLY RESPONSIBILITY OF THE USER.

The correct handling of the equipment requires:

•  take off the raw water suspended solids, if any, by an adequate filtration.

•  check that the water pressure is within the stated values.

•  check the salt level in the brine tank. A salt lack will cause the incompleteregeneration of the resins, or not any regeneration at all.

•  it is suggested to use clean salt, better in the shape of tablets, available almosteverywhere, in order to avoid residuals of sand or dirties in the tank and along thebrine lines.

Not any further special maintenance operations are required.The only consumption material is salt.The average life of the ion exchange resins is approx. 5÷8 years, according to the

quality of raw water and how often regeneration is featured.

7.1. Disposal

In case of disposal of the unit or parts of it, it must be made according to local lawsconcerning the waste of the materials. It should be taken in consideration that resins areusually listed as plastic materials and not as toxic or harmful material (the safety bulletin ofresins are available upon request).
