Regenerate water softener
All tap water contains dissolved elements, one of which is calcium carbonate. While an
increase in temperature normally leads to better dissolution of elements, precipitation of
calcium carbonate (scale) is favoured by high temperatures. Scale in your machine will
inevitably lead to costly repairs and may eventually cause your machine to break down.
To avoid the precipitation of calcium carbonate from the tap water in your Speedster, a
water softener is included in your shipment to capture the calcium carbonate before it
reaches your machine. We urge you to never use your Speedster without a properly
functioning water softener.
Calcium carbonate is taken out of your tap water and stored in the water softener (also
called: ion exchanger) which will decrease its proper functioning. By regenerating the
water softener the calcium carbonate is expelled from the water softener thus restoring
its proper functioning. For assurance, the water softener delivered to you was
regenerated in our shop before shipment.
How quickly the functioning of your water softener decreases depends mainly on the
quality of your tap water and the amount of use. We advise you to regenerate your water
softener at least every 3 months, more often is never wrong.
Warning!
During regeneration the water supply to your machine is cut off, therefore you must shut
down your machine before regenerating the water softener.
