5. THE WATER SOFTENER (SOFTWATER
TECHNOLOGY)
5.1 Introduction
The water contains harsh minerals. The
higher the content of these minerals the
harder the water is.
Hard water can reduce the effectiveness
of the detergent, reduce the softness of
fabrics and contribute towards shrinkage
and colour fading.
This appliance is equipped with a water
softener able to provide the right degree
of water softening to preserve the fabric
integrity, colour brightness and ensuring
good wash performances at low
temperature.
