Setting the water softener
The water softener removes minerals and
salts from the water supply. Minerals and
salts can have bad effect on the operation of
the appliance.
Water hardness is measured in equivalent
scales:
• German degrees (dH°).
• French degrees (°TH).
• mmol/l (millimol per litre - international
unit for the hardness of water).
• Clarke.
