softener designed to remove minerals and
salts from the water supply, which would
have a detrimental or adverse effect on the
operation of the appliance.
The higher the content of these minerals and

ness is measured in equivalent scales, Ger-

and mmol/l (millimol per litre - international
unit for the hardness of water).The softener should be adjusted...
