the washing cycl, follow the product manufacturers' instructions on

Degrees of water hardness
Water hardness is classified in so-called "degrees" of hardness. Information on
hardness of the water in your area can be obtained from the relevant water
supply company, or from your local authority.
Note: A water softener must be added when water has a medium-high degree
of hardness (from degree of hardness II). Follow the manufacturer's instructions.
The quantity of detergent can then always be adjusted to degree of hardness I (=
soft).
