Auto SOFT PROCESS AND FEATURES Principle of Working The so�ener converts the hard water into so� water with the process of on Exchange. In the so�ening cycle the so�ener resin media exchanges the hard ions of calcium and magnesium for sodium ions. When the so�ener resin is exhausted the auto valve recharges the resin media (The output given by your so�ener depends on the hardness of the raw water and your so�ener model).
