1. PRESENTATION
The softener you have purchased is a state-of-the-art
softener with one of the most advanced control heads
on the market..
MEDDALSOFT softeners have quickly positioned them-
selves as an international benchmark in domestic softe-
ning systems, both for their proven quality and for their
elegant design and simple and intuitive use.
Equipment that combines the virtues and advantages of
classic softener with the addition of much more effi-
cient water and salt consumption.
The limestone in the water can cause problems in the
pipes and affect the proper functioning of the machines
in contact with this water, increasing their maintenance
and reducing their longevity.
This reality prompted us to design this range of softe-
ners, specially designed to protect the installations of
your home from the effects of incrustation on them.
Your MEDDALSOFT softener will provide you and your
loved ones with the following benefits and advantages:
• Energy saving.
• Greater sense of well-being.
• Increases the life of household appliances.
• Savings on detergents and cosmetics.
• Low maintenance cost.
• System automatic control.
It is important that you carefully read and save this
manual before installing and starting up the equip-
ment. If you have any questions about the installation,
use, or maintenance of this equipment, contact your
distributor's technical assistance department.

2.1 WHAT IS HARDNESS?
Hardness is understood as the amount of scaling salts
present in the water, formed mainly by salts of low so-
lubility of calcium and magnesium. The salts that cause
hardness are mainly:
Calcium bicarbonate:
Calcium chloride:
Calcium sulphate:
Magnesium bicarbonate:
Magnesium chloride:
Magnesium sulphate:
These salts, due to their chemical characteristics, tend
to precipitate, become embedded in the pipes and clog
them by accumulating..
Likewise, hardness has a strong tendency to embed
itself in the electric resistances of the heaters and to
precipitate inside the boilers, due to the fact that its
temperature increases.
