The water softener

The water softener removes minerals from the
water supply, which would have a negative effect
on the washing results and on the appliance.
The higher the content of these minerals, the
harder your water is. Water hardness is
measured in equivalent scales.
The water softener should be adjusted
according to the hardness of the water in your
area. Your local water authority can advise you
on the hardness of the water in your area. It is
important to set the right level of the water
softener to assure good washing results.
Softening hard water increases the
consumption of water and energy
as well as the programme duration.
The higher the level of water
softener, the higher the
consumption and the longer the
duration.
