5. Description of the device
5.1 Operation
Hard water includes a combination of calcium (Ca), magnesium (Mg) and iron (Fe).
Softening of water consists in removing positively charged ions by treating them with
the ion-exchange resin. When the ion-exchange resin losses its properties, it is
reactivated thanks to the regeneration process.
Regeneration
During the regeneration the deposits are rinsed with brine and the absorbed calcium
and magnesium ions are flushed to the drain.
Regeneration is performed automatically in a smart and logic way; based on the
water consumption within the last 7 days the system independently chooses the day
of regeneration within the set time limit. During the regeneration (60 minutes) there is
no access to the softened water.
Regeneration process
consists of 4 cycles:
1. backwash (5 minutes)
2. regeneration agent (brine) rinse (50 minutes)
3. regeneration agent (brine) refill (30 seconds)
4. fast rinse (5 minutes)
