5.1 - WATER SOFTENER

Use appropriate salts or kitchen salt (SODIUM CHLORIDE) Na CL to reactivate the water softener when necessary. Hard water is caused by calcium
and magnesium. Hard water is not harmful or a health hazard but it can cause scaling in the pipes and water collection tanks.
Water is hard when it reaches 30-45° on the French hardness scale and is very hard at above 45°. To measure the hardness of your water, use the
testing kits sold in chemists or at one of our after-sales service centres.
Using a water softener will save on electricity and maintenance costs.
Example of water softener
M1-M2 : tap handles
R : water softener pipe
S : drain pipe
U : drain connection
E
: supply connection
Place pipe S in a receptacle capable of containing 2 litres of water, place tap M1 in position 2. Drain the water from the water softener, remove the plug
and pour in 1 kg of kitchen salt. Clean the parts of that come into contact with the plug carefully and place the plug back in position.
Next, place pipe R in a position where water can drain out of it and turn the taps to position 3. Let the water flow until soft water emerges and then turn
the tap handle to position 1.
