Puretec Customer Service
Puretec Customer Service
Thank you for purchasing a Puretec Sorol Volumetric Water Soening System. Your
system is a proven performer manufactured from only quality materials and components.
It will give years of reliability and trouble free operation if maintained properly.
This user guide is designed for Puretec SOL-E3 Water Treatment Systems. Be careful to
ensure the information and illustration is applicable to your particular unit.
Caution: Do not use with water that is microbiologically unsafe or without
adequate disinfection before or aer the system.
The systems are designed for metropolitan supply water but can be used in other
situations. For other types of water supply, please contact your local Puretec dealer.
Puretec Water Soeners are designed to run economically for many years, dependent on
the initial installation and periodic maintenance.
Flush system for 5 minutes or more, aer any period of non-use, more than 2 weeks.
Note: For point of entry installations an approved dual check backow prevention device
must be installed.
When line pressure exceeds 500 kPa, a pressure limiting valve must be installed.
Note: Water soener salt not supplied.
Installation Note: A water lter system/tap, like any product, has a limited life and may
eventually fail. Also sometimes failure happens early due to unforeseen circumstances.
To avoid possible property damage, this product should be regularly examined for
leakage and/or deterioration and replaced when necessary. A drain pan, plumbed to an
appropriate drain or outtted with a leak detector, should be used in those applications
where any leakage could cause property damage, and/or the water supply should be
turned o if no one is home/present.
INSTALLATION SHOULD BE COMPLETED BY QUALIFIED TRADESPEOPLE. FAULTY
OPERATION DUE TO UNQUALIFIED PERSONS WILL RESULT IN VOIDED WARRANTY
COVERAGE.
Warning: Chlorine (free chlorine) tolerance is 1ppm - high chlorine levels permanently
damage the soening resin & is not covered under warranty. If chlorine exceeds this
limit, we recommend a carbon pre-lter such as the WH2 or CFS Series. Please refer to
Puretec for a specic recommendation. In any case, a carbon pre-lter is recommended
to protect against chlorine spikes & prolong the resin life.

Before Installation
Professional Installation Required
• Installation requires shutting water o to home, cutting home water supply pipe
and using a welding torch to add piping and ttings. Specialised tools and skills are
required, this must be completed by a qualied tradesperson.
Make Sure Your Water Has Been Thoroughly Tested
• An analysis of your water should be made prior to the selection of your water
conditioning equipment. Your dealer will generally assist with this service for
you, and may send a sample to an independent laboratory for analysis and
recommendations. Enter your analysis information on page 4 for your permanent
record.
• Soeners are designed to reduce hardness but can handle reasonable amounts
of soluble iron if consideration is given to content when selecting model and
regeneration settings. For best results contact Puretec to discuss.
Install Water Conditioning Equipment Correctly
Select the location of your water soener with care. Various conditions which contribute
to proper location are as follows:
• Install as close as possible to a drain.
• Install in correct relationship to other water treatment equipment. Contact Puretec
for assistance.
• Install the soener in the supply line BEFORE the water heater. Temperatures above
40°C will damage the soener and void the warranty.
• DO NOT install the soener in a location where freezing temperatures occur.
Freezing may cause permanent damage and will also void the warranty.
• DO NOT install where water hammer conditions may occur without installing an
arrestor.
• Allow sucient space around the installation for easy servicing. Provide a non-
switched 240V power source for the control valve.
Before Installation
6 Installation & Operation Manual Copyright © Puretec Pty Ltd 2021
Before Installation
• The control valve, ttings and/or bypass are designed to accommodate minor plumbing
misalignment but are not designed to support the weight of a system or the plumbing.
• Do not use petroleum jelly, oils, other hydrocarbon lubricants or spray silicone anywhere.
A silicon lubricant may be used on the black o-rings but it is not necessary.
• Do not use pipe dope or other sealants on threads. Thread seal tape is the preferred
sealant but is not necessary on the nut connection or caps because of o-ring seals.
• All plumbing should be done in accordance with local plumbing codes. The pipe size for
the drain line should be a minimum of ⅝”.
• Avoid getting primer and solvent cement on lter system.
• Install grounding strap on metal pipes if required.
• Ensure the system is protected against high pressure and extreme temperatures.
• Chlorine (free chlorine) tolerance is 1ppm - high chlorine levels permanently damage
the soening resin & is not covered under warranty. If chlorine exceeds this limit, we
recommend a carbon pre-lter such as the WH2 or CFS Series. Please refer to Puretec
for a specic recommendation. In any case, a carbon pre-lter is recommended to
protect against chlorine spikes & prolong the resin life.
Things to Remember While Planning Your Installation:
• All installation procedures MUST conform to local plumbing codes.
• If lawn sprinklers, a swimming pool, or geothermal heating/cooling or water for
other devices/activities are to be treated by the Sorol system, a larger model MUST
be selected to accommodate the higher ow rate, treated water volume, plus the
backwashing requirements of the Sorol system. Contact Puretec for assistance.
WARNINGS
Note: Solder joints must be done prior to connecting to the valve ttings. Leave at least 6”
between the tting and solder joints when soldering pipes. Failure to do this could cause
heat damage to the ttings.
This should be carried out by a qualied tradesman.
