Setting the water softener

The water softener removes minerals and salts
from the water supply. Minerals and salts can
have bad effect on the operation of the appli-
ance.
Water hardness is measured in equivalent
scales:
• German degrees (dH°).
• French degrees (°TH).
• mmol/l (millimol per litre - international unit
for the hardness of water).
• Clarke.
