Water Softener Device - Salvis FS 1/1 P Instructions D'installation Et Mode D'emploi

4.10 Water softener device

- The water softener device operates according to the
principle of an ion exchanger.
- The container contains approx. 3.0 litres of ion
exchange resin which in its regenerated state decom-
poses the calcium carbonate Ca2O2 contained in the
water flowing through, by exchanging the Ca ions for
Na ions.
- The resulting Na CO2 does not settle, but instead is
flushed away with the condensate and the remaining
water.
- During cooking, the exchange resin becomes satura-
ted with Ca ions, i.e. it gradually looses its ability to
soften the water.
- When the exchange resin is saturated, it will need to
be regenerated, using approx. 0.5 kg of household
grade regeneration salt.
- Regeneration periods depend on water hardness in
your area.
- The saline solution which is in contact with the ex-
change resin for a specified time, exchanges the Ca
ions for Na ions. After this, the water softener is again
fully absorptive.

- Regeneration of the water softener is described in
Section 6.14.
- A description of how to set the water credit is provided
in the service manual «Setting the regeneration
interval of the water softener», such a description also
accompanies every appliance (see document below).

Adjustment of the regenerating intervals of the water softener
There are 3 water softeners possible: - Integrated in the unit
- Brita, Standard installed
- Brita, Jumbo installed
Referring to the existing water hardness, the water credit code can be read out of the diagram below
and programmed as follows:
Enter in service program:
