10.4 Water hardness

If the water hardness in your area is high
or moderate, we recommend that you
use a water softener for washing ma-
chines. In areas where the water hard-
ness is soft it is not necessary to use a
water softener.
To know the water hardness in your area,
contact your local water authority.
Obey the instructions that you find on
the packaging of the products.
Equivalent scales measure the water
hardness:
• German degrees (°dH).
• French degrees (°TH).
• mmol/l (millimol for each litre - inter-
national unit for the hardness of wa-
ter).
• Clarke degrees.
