4.5 Brine
The capacity of a WaterLine softener device is not a constant but
is determined by the following factors:
•
Raw water quality (drinking water quality required)
•
Raw water hardness
•
Raw water hardness variations (require regular checks)
•
Raw water flow pressure
•
Resin quality
•
Resin volume
•
Method of brining
These influencing variables must be considered when program-
ming the control valven. Below, particular attention is directed on
the method of brining.
Depending on the amount of NaCl consumed during regenera-
tion, full or partial brining is refered to. For a residual hardness of
soft water below 0.1 °dH, only full brining is adequate. Full brin-
ing requires the use of 220g of salt per liter of resin.
Please note:
When working with zero hardness water, zinc-
coated pipes must not be used. Only pipes made from plastic or
stainless steel are adequate.
In case of a lower requirement concerning the residual hard-
ness, partial brining (i.e. 160g of salt per liter of resin) is allow-
able.
Please note:
When using partial brining,
a certain „slip of hard-
ness“ may occur, i.e. following a regeneration soft water hard-
ness may be increased by 2°dH (with respect to the set value)
for a certain amount of time.
