1.- INTRODUCTION

Hidro-Water S.L. wants to thank you for purchasing your new Kobe system. We hope you
enjoy the benefits of having softened water. Among other things, this means:
•
Less consumption of cleaning products (soap, fabric softener, anti-limescale products...).
•
Softer skin, silkier hair (more comfortable showers and shaves, causing less irritation).
•
Clothes last longer as well as their colours.
•
Savings on your electric bill (water heats up quicker).
In this manual, you can find the steps to follow for the Kobe Series softener system's
installation, start-up and maintenance.
Keep this manual safe for future reference and if you have any query or doubt, please contact
your distributer's Technical Support Department. (See stamp on back of manual).

1.1.- Operating information - Theory

The softening process in your Kobe system will be carried out through an ionic
exchange process.
To do so, ionic exchange resins are used. They have the chemical capacity to capture
water hardness, Calcium (Ca) and Magnesium (Mg) ions and eliminate them from the
treated water. At the same time that the Calcium and Magnesium ions are captured by the
resin a Sodium (Na) ion is released, which due to its chemical characteristics forms salt
particles with a solubility much higher thus avoiding problems associated with hardness.

1.1.1 Service phase

During the treatment process – service cycle – the water enters the valve through the inlet
connection, flows from the upper part of the bottle, through the resin bed in a descending manner
which is how the ionic Exchange takes place (softening). The treated water is send through the
outlet connection to the supply line.

1.1.2 Regeneration phase

Once the resin bed has retained the total amount of Calcium and Magnesium ions (water
hardness) that they are capable of retaining, the bed must be regenerated to start a new work
cycle.
The regeneration process consists of several stages with the finality of regenerating the
resin bed and preparing it for a new work cycle.
The Kobe series softeners automatically start and carry out the alternation between service
and regeneration phases without the user having to manipulate the machine.

2.- TECHNICAL DATA

Just like any device, your new Kobe has optimal performance within its Operating Range:

2.1.- Operating pressure

So that these systems work correctly, they must operate within a certain pressure range, along them
to work correctly and safely. This working pressure is as follows:
•
Minimum pressure: 2,5 kg/cm
2
.
•
Maximum pressure: 6 kg/cm
.
2
If the pressure is below 2.5 kg/cm
, some cycles wouldn't work properly and/or have an
2
appropriate water supply. In that case, a pump system should be installed to assure the necessary
flow and pressure.
If the pressure is over 6 kg/cm
2
it would be dangerous for the system as it would deteriorate
or break down. Therefore, a pressure reducer should be installed.

2.2.- Operating temperatures

•
The system should NOT be supplied with hot water (Tª < 36°C).
•
Room temperature should be between 4 - 43 °C.

2.3.- Component materials

•
Valve: Strengthened GF Noryl.
•
Bottle tank: Polyethylene Coated with GF reinforced polyester.
•
Housing cabinet: Made from HDPE.
•
Cationic descaling resin, Manufactured with polymers of high technical qualification,
regenerable sodium form (NaCI).

2.4.- Water alterations

•
By going through the softener, the water's sodium level is increased.
•
By going through the softener, the water's calcium and magnesium levels are reduced.
•
By going through the softener, the water's pH & chlorine may be reduced.

2.5.- Capacity

•
Maximum operating flow:
○ KOBE 14 = 0.5 m
3
/h + mix
○ KOBE 22 = 0.77 m³/h + mix
○ KOBE 35 = 1.2 m³/h + mix
