Basic Information Water Softeners Note: Calcium ions and magnesium ions exist side by side in nature, e.g. in the mineral dolomite. Hardness ranges according to the German Act on Environmental Sustainability of Detergents and Cleaning Agents (WMRG): The total hardness of the water is the sum of the concentrations of calcium ions and magnesium ions.
Page 11
Basic Information Water Softeners 3 | Ion exchange The exchange of calcium and magnesium ions for sodium ions causes the water to become soft. Principle The hard raw water flows through an exchanger tank. This tank is filled with a resin, to which sodium ions are bonded at certain positions (see fig.

Maintenance Water Softeners 3 | Maintenance According to DIN EN 806-5, maintenance work at water soften- ers may only be performed by Grünbeck’s technical service/au- thorised service company or a specialised company. An operation log must be kept for water softeners. In this opera- tion log, the service technician records all maintenance and re- pair work performed.
Page 54
Maintenance Water Softeners • Check the non-return function of the safety fitting (e.g. system separator). Not required for intrinsically safe water softeners, in particular water softeners with DVGW-test mark! • For water softeners with disinfection unit: functional check of the disinfection unit (determine electric current).
