10. MINI RESIN WATER SOFTENER
◆ Calcium and magnesium determine the hardness of the water and cause the formation of what we
simplycallscale.Waterishardfrom30°f to40°f;itisconsideredveryhardfrom40°f upwards.The
hardness can be measured by simple test kits, which may be purchased at any service centre.
◆ There is a small resin water softener (plus one in the accessories kit) inside the water tank, which
should be replaced or regenerated once every 20-30 litres of water that are used.
The small water softener can be regenerated by putting it in salt water (0,5 litres and one spoonful of
NaCl, sodium chloride) for approx. 48 hours. Thoroughly rinse with clean water and put the small
water softener connected to the silicone tube back inside the tank.
11. PRACTICAL INFORMATION AND SUGGESTIONS
We recommend water hardness between 15 and 30 French degrees (check
with your help centre). If the value is greater than or less than the recommended
parameters, periodic checks and a special cleaning of the hydraulic circuits by specialized
technicians are required.
Depending on the geographical location and a possible period of inactivity, it’s recom-
mendedaspeciccleaningof thehydrauliccircuitbyqualiedpersonnel.
