TOTAL HARDNESS REDUCTION
PROFINE® OCRA is designed for water softening (reduction of total hardness) thanks to the presence of a strong cationic resin in gel form, with a fixed residue set at approximately 25%. If the cartridge is used in equipment for the food industry, the system as a whole must meet the European requirements set out in Community Directive 178/2002.

TOTAL HARDNESS REDUCTION
BIG PROFINE® OCRA is part of a wide range of Profine® products tested and designed to meet all needs. It is ideal for use with automatic beverage dispensers and coffee machines. The cartridge must be fed with cold water only. It features an integrated adjustable bypass.
The cartridge must be mounted vertically. Use 3/8" female connections with a flat gasket.
AIR CONDITIONING VALVE
The water filter activation process includes an initial phase called Conditioning. Conditioning is the initial rinsing process of the filter, necessary to bring it into ideal operating conditions. This initial rinse ensures complete cleanliness of all the filter media inside and the circuit itself. Conditioning should only be performed during the first activation of the cartridge. This operation can last from a few seconds to a few minutes. It is recommended to perform it even after the filter has been inactive for extended periods. Instructions on how many liters to dispense for proper conditioning can be found in the product data sheets.

We recommend replacing the filters at the end of their rated lifespan, or if the outflow is too slow. Filters must be replaced within 365 days of installation. Before removing the filters, close the upstream water inlet and relieve the circuit pressure by opening the tap. To properly activate the filters, open the inlet valve and let water flow for at least five minutes before using it for drinking.
