3. How the system works
The water becomes „soft“. However, the ion exchanger resin absorbs only a limited amount
of hardness particles. Depending on the water hardness, the absorbing capacity of the resin
becomes depleted sooner or later and has to be regenerated.
Regeneration with this system means removing the hardness particles from the ion exchanger
resin.
The diluted salt brine that flows through the resin bed removes the hardness particles, which
are then directed to the sewer.
The regeneration process requires only a small amount of salt and complies with EN 14743 and
DIN 19636-100.
The water softening system undergoes automatic disinfection on a regular basis in order to
prevent microbial growth. The small amount of chlorine required for that process is generated
electrolytically from the brine sucked in during regeneration.
The regeneration is carried out automatically.
A water meter integrated in the device records the quantity of produced soft water, which is
summed up in the electronic system. When the value set for the raw water hardness is reached,
the electronic system triggers the required regeneration process.
