Check:

Whatyouneedtoverifythesoftenerfunction:
1. Testkittomeasurethewaterhardness(partnumber607236).Payattentiontoexpirydate.
2. Aconductivitymeter(possiblypHindicatorstrips609927).
Howrespectivelywheretomeasure?
Usecleanteacuporbeakerforsamplingwater.
1. Takemeasurementofthetotalwaterhardness(dh)atthetapwherethemachineisconnectedto.
2. Measuretheconductivity(S/cm)atthetapwherethemachineisconnectedto.
3. Measurethehardnessofthewaterinthebooster.
Therefore,theboosterdrainhoseistobeused.Discardthefirstcupofwatertoensurethatnoresiduals

4. Measuretheconductivityoftheboosterwater.
Adjustmentofsoftenersettingaccordingtothehardnessofincomingwater:
1. Ensureadequatesoftenersetting:

2. Ensurethatthesaltchambercontainssalt.
3. Ensurethatgranularsaltisused(salttabletsarenotallowed).
4. Ensurethatthesaltchamberhasbeenfilledupwithwater.

2. SelecttheshortestprogramP01andtakeasampleofwater(ateacup)attheboosterdrainhose
