4. Installation Instructions

Testing water quality

The HYDRIM L110w G4 is equipped with

a built-in water softening system that must

be adjusted according to the local water

hardness. To read local water hardness,

proceed as follows:

1. The water test kit included with your

HYDRIM contains three water

hardness test strips in bags. Take a

water sample from the location where

the machine will be installed.

2. Open one of the bags, remove the

test strip and dip it into the water.

3. Compare the color of the strip with

the chart on the back of the bag

Determine the water hardness according

to the chart on the water test kit envelope.

4. Power the unit on and select the

Settings key from the main menu.

5. Go to the Setup Menu and select

“Set Regeneration”.

6. Using the up and down arrows, set the

water softener regeneration level

according to the water hardness table

in this section. If your water hardness

falls between two settings, select the

higher setting.

7. Unscrew the water softener container

lid from the bottom right of the chamber

and pour at least 1.0 litres (0.26 gal) of water

into the water softener container. Then ﬁll the

salt container to the top (maximum 1 kg/

2.2 lbs.) with salt. Close by screwing the lid

tightly back into place and run a complete

cycle with no instruments. An improper seal can lead to corrosion.

*Please note: The water test strip is only accurate up to 250 ppm. If the reading on the test strip exceeds

250 ppm and/or if the location in which the HYDRIM is installed has known water quality problems, having

a more detailed and accurate water test done by a test lab is strongly recommended.
