The systems are designed to provide fully softened wa-
ter; the control valve incorporates a residual hardness
mixer to adjust the degree of hardness of the softened
water (see section 7).
CAUTION: for water intended for human con-
sumption, a residual hardness between 5 and
8ºHF is recommended when the pipes are made of co-
pper and between 8 and 10ºHF when they are made of
iron (in the latter case it is also recommended to install
a posterior silicopolyphosphate filter).
2.8 SODIUM INCREASE
Most of the sodium we consume daily is ingested throu-
gh food in general and processed foods in particular,
salt being an excellent preservative, it is used as an ad-
ditive in processed products.
Sodium intake from the water we drink is relatively low
compared to that ingested through food.
CAUTION : as indicated above, softeners reduce
the concentration of Calcium and Magnesium in
the water, replacing them with Sodium. Therefore, the
level increased sodium in water.
The recommended sodium limit for drinking water is
150 ppm. Depending on the sodium concentration and
hardness of the water to be treated, softened water
may have higher sodium concentrations than recom-
mended.
In cases where this occurs or in the case of people who
must follow a low sodium diet, a reverse osmosis system
should be installed for drinking water consumption.
The following table serves as an orientation on the in-
crease of the sodium concentration in the treated wa-
ter depending on the inlet hardness:
