How to remove packaging
The packaging consist of a wooden crate which contains the deionization plant skid-mounted.
Open the wooden crate removing, first, the cover and, then, the wall sides. Keep the cards and
everything contained inside the packaging.
3.2.
How to move and lift the unit
The pipes of the plant are made in plastic material, hence they can be easily damaged. Do not
lift and/or move the unit by any part of the plant. To lift the unit, use only fork-lift or other
equipment suitable for the weight and dimensions to be lifted/displaced. Take care to correct
balance the weight in order to avoid rolling of the load during displacements. Insert the forks
under the pallet-type side of the skid of the unit (see “INSTALLATION/DIMENSIONS/WEIGHT”
drawing).
3.3.
Placing
Place the unit on a perfectly flat surface.
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 service and maintenance (see

PRINCIPLES OF WORKING
The process of deionization is featured by ion exchange. The resins contained in the cation column
exchange all the metal cations against H ions, of which they are charged. When the resins are
exhausted, they are fully charged of metal ions (cations), while they do not have any more H ions
available for exchanging and they need to be regenerated.
The anion exchanger completes the process of deionization. The resins contained in the anion
column exchange all the acid anions against OH ions, of which they are charged. When the resins are
exhausted, they are fully charged of acid ions (anions), while they do not have any more OH ions
available for exchanging and they need to be regenerated.
Regeneration means exchanging back H and OH ions available from chemicals regenerants (HCl
and NaOH) against metals and acids ions which are carried away to waste treatment.
The starting of regeneration of exhausted line is usually programmed according to the conductivity
of treated water.
The control panel handles the working of the regeneration.
The regeneration consists of a backwashing, an injection of the chemicals regenerants followed by
a rinsing of the resins. These operations run for both exchangers (cation-anion)
The complete regeneration (backwashing- chemical drawing- rinse) of both exchangers takes
approx 180 minutes.
4.1.
Quality control & end-cycle
The conductivity of treated water is continuously checked and visualized by conductivity-meter,
built-in the control panel.
Two adjustable set-points (K1 and K2) are available in the conductivity-meter, allowing to set the
end-cycle of the deionizer (see particular paragraph further on, for setting/modification of set points)
The set-point K1 has been adjusted, during the running test of the system, at a value of 10 µS/cm
(factory-set), while the set-point K2 is not used.
Therefore, the set-point K1 is the threshold value of conductivity to switch the end-cycle; when this
value is reached, the red lamp “ALARM” turns ON; in the same time the outlet valve of the deionizer is
closed, in order to avoid to supply water of not-satisfactory quality.
If water does not flush inside the resins bed, i.e. when the treated water is not required, a reionization of the still water can occur.
Therefore, the first water supplied after the interruption of service could be of an unsatisfactory
quality, although it is not depending on the exhausting of the resins.
The system is arranged in order that, when the conductivity exceeds the pre-set value, the drain
valve automatically opens, featuring a “test-drain” for a pre-fixed time, in order to check if the
unsatisfactory quality is caused by the exhausting of the resins or by a too long standing of the water
itself inside the resin bed.
This feature is named “QUALITY CONTROL” and the time of this can be modified as explained at
next pages, while the factory set is 8’.
Whether the quality of water, during this phase, will turn on a satisfactory value (below the threshold value of set-point), the system turns on service again; otherwise, the end-cycle is featured and
the system turns on "REGENERATION REQUIRED”, indicated by the visualization on the display of
PLC. The regeneration can be started by simply turning, for at least some seconds, the mode selector
on “AUT” position. The regeneration will be automatically completed. Obviously, whether the mode
selector is already on “AUT” position, the regeneration will automatically start, without any manual
operation.
Whether the regeneration have not been cmpleted correctly, the red lamp "ALARM" will be still ON
at the end of the regeneration. It can be turned OFF by pushing the button RESET, or starting
manually a new regeneration.

4.2.
End-cycle by volume
The end-cycle by volume can be enabled by mean of parameter switch ACT. VOL (B11)
End-cycle is reached when the preset volume of water has been supplied; in the same time the
system turns on “WAITING FOR REGENERATION”, until the mode selector of the line is turned on
AUT position.
Naturally, if the mode selector is already on AUT position, the regeneration will automatically start,
without any manual operation; in this case, the status of “WAITING FOR REGENERATION” will
be only temporary.
Whether the end cycle by volume is enabled and the end-cycle by conductivity is reached before
that the pre-set volume is reached, the alarm “SHORT CYCLE” is driven.
The meaning of the unit of volume entered and visualized depends on the unit value of the pulse
from the installed meter.
As standard setting the unit of setting and reading are hectolityers, according to the installation of
water meter series CD (1 pulse every 100 liters).
4.3.
Manual end-cycle
When the deionizer is on service or on stand-by, it is allowed to force the shift to status of to he
status “WAITING FOR REGENERATION”, proceeding as follows :
• Turn the mode selector on "0"
• Push the button of “ADVANCE PHASE” for 5 consecutive seconds.
The unit shift on “WAITING FOR REGENERATION”.
WARNING : The regeneration will start only when the mode selector is turned on AUT (for at least
2 seconds) and there is not any regenration inhibit.
4.4.
Regeneration
The regeneration phases run as follow (see “TIME AND PHASES” table) :

LONG RINSE
** The minimum duration of the phase "ANION RINSE" of the regeneration is fixed at 5 minutes;
then the phase is completed when the conductivity of drain water is below the pre-fixed value .
If this value is not reached within the maximum pre-set time (45 minutes), the rinse is stopped
anyway and regeneration is blocked on "LONG RINSE" phase.
WARNING : Regeneration can be completed only whether the value of conductivity goes down below
the thre-shold value of set-point K1. In order to repeat the regeneration, when the
regeneration is blocked on "LONG RINSE" phase, it is required to modify temporary the
conductivity set-point to a value appearing satisfactory, by electronic logical only.

How to advance manually the phase of the regeneration
During the regeneration, the phases can be manually advanced, by turning the mode selector on
"0" position and pushing the button "ADVANCE PHASE”. The phase is actually advanced when it
is completed the rotation of the motor in order to place correctly the cam shaft for the following
phase.
This features is not working during "ANION RINSE" and "LONG RINSE" phases; they must be
overpassed only according to the conductivity.
4.6.
How to rinse the resins during “LONG RINSE” phase
During “LONG RINSE“ phase, it is possible to run a further rinse, by turning the mode selector on
“0” position and pushing the button "ADVANCE PHASE". By releasing the button, the rinse is
stopped.
4.7.
Conductivity-meter
The main functions of the conductivity-meter are the following :
•
•
•
•
The pushing of the button ON disables the outputs related to set-points K1 and K2; in the
same time, the light ON blinks to warn that the set-points have been manually disabled
The light ON is continuously lit up to indicate the correct working
The blinking of the light ON warns of a current faulty condition.
The pushing of the button NEXT, during the normal working, alternates the visualization of
the conductivity and the one of the temperature of water (only if the temperature sensor is
installed, otherwise a fixed value is shown).
In order to visualize and/or modify the parameter of configurations of the instrument, (included the

STARTING-UP
• DISCONNECT ELECTRIC POWER
• Close the inlet and outlet valves
• Turn clockwise the cam shaft of the pilots group, until the first piston is pressed. (CATION
BACKWASH).
• Open slowly and not completely the inlet valve. Water will enter from the bottom into the cation
column as air will be expelled from the top to the drain.
• When only water will come out from drain, open completely the inlet valve and allow the water
flush until the drain water looks clear.
• Turn again clockwise the cam shaft, until the second piston is pressed too (HCl INJECTION).
Check that some water flows to the drain line, while, in the same time, the acid flows from its
own tank to the unit.
• Turn again clockwise the cam shaft, until only the second piston is pressed, while the first one
is released. (CATION RINSE). The water flows to the drain line; allow the water flowing until
the drain water looks perfectly clear.
• Close the inlet valve .
• Turn again clockwise the cam shaft, until the second piston is released and the fourth one is
pressed (ANION BACKWASH).
• Open slowly and not completely the inlet valve. Water will enter from the bottom into the anion
column as air will be expelled from the top to the drain.
• When only water will come out from drain, open completely the inlet valve and allow the water
flush until the drain water looks clear.
• Turn again clockwise the cam shaft, until the fifth piston is pressed too (NaOH INJECTION).
Check that some water flows to the drain line, while, in the same time, the chemical (NaOH)
flows from its own tank to the unit.
• Turn again clockwise the cam shaft, until only the fifth piston is pressed, while the fourth one is
released. (ANION RINSE). The water flows to the drain line; allow the water flowing until the
drain water looks perfectly clear.
• Turn again clockwise the cam shaft, until the fifth piston is released as well (SERVICE).
• Switch on again electrical power.
• Open the outlet valve.
It is now requested to start an automatic regeneration of the resins, checking that the correct
quantities of chemicals are injected (sucked) within the times listed in the programming table,
related to each model of deionizer (see “Characteristics for each model” page 4).
When the regeneration is completed, the unit is on service, if the quality of the product water meets
the desired value.
At the shipment, the new resins are totally exhausted, hence another regeneration could be
required.
¾ In order to adjust the injected quantity of chemicals, drive manually the ball valves mounted along
the injection line of the chemicals themselves.
¾ During the phases CHEMICAL (HCl OR NaOH) INJECTION and CHEMICAL (HCl OR NaOH)
DISPLACEMENT, the multifunction top-mounted control valves are in the same position; the
difference between one phase and the (following) other one is made by mean of the automatic
closing of the diaphragm valves mounted along the chemical injection lines (the opening/closing of
the diaphragm valves is controlled by the pilot pistons no. 3 and 6).

MAINTENANCE AND SERVICE
Generally speaking, this kind of plant does not require any scheduled maintenance operations.
Indeed, the only parts that could be damaged, during the working, are the electrical components
and the moving parts; in details :
• membranes of the automatic valves, that can aged after years and hair-cracked.
• solenoid valves, that can be electrically failed or dirty..
• common electrical components (relays, lamps, etc.).
It is important to note that the plant and all area around should be kept clean, in order to realize
immediately any mechanical or hydraulic dysfunction.
Indeed, dust or wet part can hide leakages or crackings, that otherwise should be immediately
noted.
The correct handling of the plants requires the following points:
• the water to be treated must be free of suspended particles; a proper filtration should be provided.
• the best condition of service are a continuous flow of water at a constant flow rate; too long stillness
of the water inside the resins bed should be avoided.
• before starting a regeneration, check that proper quantity of chemicals are available in the
regenerant tanks.
WARNING :
The piping of the system contains dangerous chemicals.
The operators must be aware of the hazard and danger of the chemicals used in the
process.
The maintenance operations must be performed only by skilled and authorized
operators, using proper tools and CE marked personal protection devices (gloves,
masks, cloths, etc).
It is also required to follow strictly the directions mentioned on the safety bulletins of
the chemicals themselves.

HOW TO REPLACE THE RESINS
Whether the replacement of resins is required, proceed as follows :
•
•
•
•
•
•
Switch OFF the main power
Take off all tubing and pipes connected to the multifunction top-mounted valves.
Unscrew the top-mounted valves.
Take out the resins using an aspirator or by mean of a siphon.
Withdraw the resins pipe with related bottom distribution nozzle
Be sure that the under-valve nozzle and bottom distribution nozzle are not damaged; in the case
replace the pipe with the distribution nozzle.
• Proceed to load the new resins :
ƒ 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 can be useful to put on the
hole a scotch tape or something else, during the loading.
ƒ After the loading has been completed, remove the scotch tape, if used, and clean perfectly the
thread hole of the vessel, taking off the spheres of resins that could be there.
ƒ Proceed in screwing on the control valve; the distribution pipe must be inserted inside the
proper hole in the lower part of the control valve. In order to make this operation easier, it is
suggested to lubricated the end of the pipe or to wet it with water.
ƒ After that, check that the O-ring seal from control valve and vessel is not damaged and is
properly placed.
ƒ Screw firmly the control valve on the vessel just tightening it by hand only. Do not use any tools.
• Complete the commissioning of the unit by connecting all the tubing and pipes to the multifunction
top-mounted valves, previously taken off.
Proceed as explained at § 9 for starting-up after replacement of resins.
9.
DISPOSAL
In case of disposal of the unit or parts of it, it must be made according to local laws concerning the
waste of the materials. It should be taken in consideration that resins are usually listed as plastic
materials and not as toxic or harmful material.

CHECKING OF THE RESINS
If the conductivity of the product water is not satisfactory, it is possible to check quickly the
conditions of the resins, by testing the Hardness and the pH values of the outlet water from the cation
and anion columns.
In order to check the quality of outlet water from cation column, turn temporarily the column in the
phase "CATION RINSE" (see § 9) and sample the water from the drain line of the column.
The sampling of water outlet from the anion column is made directly from the sampling cock on the
outlet line of the unit.
1. The Hardness of the outlet water from the cation column must be NIL, and the pH must be very
low (2-3 according to the quality of the treated water). An higher pH value and/or the presence of
Hardness means that the resins is not regenerated properly, hence a regeneration is required.
2. After checked that the quality of the outlet water from the cation column meets the above
mentioned standard, proceed to test the outlet water from the anion column : its Hardness must be
NIL, and the pH between 7 and 9. The presence of Hardness means a fouling of the anion resins,
that could be caused by a flowing of hard water through it. According to this condition, a washing of
the anion resins with HCl followed by a double regeneration with NaOH could be required.
3. A pH value lower than 7 means a failing regeneration (or the exhausting) of the anion resins,
hence that a regeneration is required.
4. A pH value higher than 9, together with hardness NIL, means that the anion resins is still
impregnated with NaOH regenerant, and a new rinse should be provided. This situation can be
often found at the end of the regeneration cycle (hence, when the signal "LONG RINSE ALARM"
appears).
The causes can be the following :
1. A too high quantity of NaOH has been drawn off, or the correct quantity has been drawn off in too
short time (in any case a too high concentration of NaOH through the resins).
2. during the phases of NaOH suction and/or following rinses, a pressure drop in inlet water line
occurred. It is suggested, in this case, to rinse again the resins, opening manually the drain valve
VS.
WARNING :
The mentioned pH values are average values: they are strictly
depending on the chemical composition of the water to be treated.
I.e. an high value of sodium in the water to be treated causes an increase
in the pH value of the product water, quite apart from the presence of
regenerant NaOH.
In this situation, the presence of NaOH is inevitably caused by a natural
leakage of the Na from the cation resin.
Therefore, it is suggested, for further reference and comparation, to use
the values already verified with the same water to be treated.
