THE WATER HARDNESS TABLE
The water softener removes minerals from the water
supply, which would have a negative effect on the
washing results and on the appliance.
The higher the content of these minerals, the harder
your water is. Water hardness is measured in
equivalent scales.
The water softener should be adjusted according to
the hardness of the water in your area. Your local
water authority can advise you on the hardness of
the water in your area. It is important to set the right
level of the water softener to assure good washing
results.
Softening hard water increases the
consumption of water and energy as
well as the programme duration. The
higher the level of water softener, the
higher the consumption and the longer
the duration.
