2. ABOUT THE EQUIPMENT
2.1 HOW DOES IT WORK?
The cationic resins in the softener's tank transform calcium
carbonate in sodium carbonate, which is water-soluble at the
working temperatures of both coffee makers and ice makers
machines.
The transfer of sodium ions between the resins and water is
imperative to soften drinking water, but this process tends to
decline in proportion to the flow rate and the consumption
of water. For this reason, it is necessary to regenerate the
exhausted resins by making water and salt flow through them,
therefore returning them to their active state.
The resins gradually lose their cationic function, and conse-
quently their efficiency, with each regeneration. We recom-
mend replacing them after seven years of use.
