4. سیٹ اپ اور انسٹالیشن
Proper installation is crucial for the efficient operation of your water softener. Refer to the diagram below for connection details.
4.1 تنصیب کے مراحل
- مقام کا انتخاب کریں: Select a suitable location near the main water supply, a drain, and a power outlet. Ensure adequate space for maintenance and salt replenishment.
- Water Supply Shut-off: اپنے گھر کو پانی کی مین سپلائی بند کر دیں۔
- Connect Inlet/Outlet: Connect the incoming hard water line to the softener's inlet and the softened water line to the outlet. The connections are 26.44 mm (¾") AG.
- بائی پاس والو: Install a bypass valve system to allow for manual bypass of the softener if needed (e.g., for outdoor watering).
- ڈرین لائن: Connect the drain line (Ø 14 mm) from the control valve to a suitable drain. Ensure the drain line has an air gap to prevent back-siphonage.
- Brine Line: Connect the brine line from the control valve to the brine well inside the salt tank.
- پاور کنکشن: پاور اڈاپٹر کو گراؤنڈڈ الیکٹریکل آؤٹ لیٹ میں لگائیں۔
- Add Salt: نمکین پانی کے ٹینک کو پانی کے نرم کرنے والے نمک سے بھریں۔
- ابتدائی آغاز: Slowly open the main water supply valve to fill the softener with water. Check for leaks.
- Program Controller: Set the initial water hardness level on the display according to your local water supply data.

5. آپریٹنگ ہدایات
The Wiltec NW-SOFT-C1 operates automatically once configured. The control panel allows for initial setup and monitoring.
5.1 ابتدائی پروگرامنگ
- Upon first power-up, the display will prompt you to set the current time and date.
- Navigate through the menu using the control buttons to find the water hardness setting.
- Enter your local water hardness value (e.g., in dH or ppm). This value is critical for the softener to calculate regeneration cycles accurately.
- Confirm settings. The system will then automatically manage the softening process and regeneration cycles.
5.2 How Water Softening Works (Ion Exchange)
The water softener utilizes a resin bed to remove hardness minerals. Hard water containing calcium (Ca²⁺) and magnesium (Mg²⁺) ions passes through the resin, which contains sodium (Na⁺) ions. The resin attracts and holds the calcium and magnesium ions, releasing sodium ions into the water. This process effectively softens the water.
Figure 5: Illustration of the ion exchange reaction. Calcium (Ca²⁺) and Magnesium (Mg²⁺) ions are exchanged for Sodium (Na⁺) ions on the ion exchange resin (cation exchanger).
Figure 6: Internal schematic showing the flow of water and the regeneration process. Hard water enters, passes through the resin bed in the pressure tank, becomes soft water, and exits. During regeneration, brine solution flushes the resin, and wastewater is drained. Key components include the automatic central control valve, brine hose, safety brine valve, float, suction lance, exchange resin, and cabinet tank.
6 دیکھ بھال
Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance and extends the life of your water softener.
6.1 Salt Level Monitoring and Refill
- Check the salt level in the brine tank regularly, typically once a month.
- Ensure the salt level is always above the water level in the brine tank.
- Refill the tank with high-quality water softener salt (pellets, crystals, or blocks) when the level is low. Do not use rock salt or table salt.
6.2 Automatic Regeneration
The system automatically initiates regeneration cycles based on water usage and programmed hardness. During regeneration, a brine solution flushes the accumulated hardness minerals from the resin, recharging it with sodium ions. This process typically takes about an hour.
- Ensure there is always enough salt for regeneration.
- Do not interrupt a regeneration cycle.
6.3 صفائی
- Periodically clean the brine tank to remove any salt residue or sludge. This can be done annually or as needed.

7 خرابیوں کا سراغ لگانا
This section addresses common issues you might encounter with your water softener.
| مسئلہ | ممکنہ وجہ | حل |
|---|---|---|
| Water is still hard. | Low salt level in brine tank. Incorrect water hardness setting. بائی پاس والو کھلا ہے۔ Resin bed exhausted or fouled. | Add salt to the brine tank. Verify and adjust the water hardness setting on the display. Ensure the bypass valve is in the service position. Initiate a manual regeneration. If problem persists, contact support. |
| Softener not regenerating. | یونٹ کو بجلی نہیں ہے۔ Control valve malfunction. Low salt level. | بجلی کا کنکشن اور سرکٹ بریکر چیک کریں۔ Check salt level and refill if necessary. Contact support if the control valve is faulty. |
| Salt bridge in brine tank. | Salt has solidified, preventing brine formation. | Carefully break up the salt bridge with a broom handle or similar tool. Avoid damaging the brine well or float assembly. |
| Water pressure drop. | Clogged filters (if pre-filter installed). Resin bed fouled. | Clean or replace pre-filters. Initiate a manual regeneration. |
