10.4 Water lter maintenance
10.4.1 Water hardness detection
As part of the lter maintenance, it is advisable to test
the water beforehand.
To identify the carbonate hardness of the water use
the kit specied as follows:
1. Put 10 ml of water to be tested in the test tube (1);
2. add a drop of reagent (2) and mix;
3. proceed in the same way by counting the number
of drops until the solution (3) changes color from
Blue to Red
1 DROP = 1°dKH
Example: 9 Drops ----> Carbonate hardness 9°dKH

10.4.2 By-pass conguration
Depending on the hardness of the water, adjust the
by-pass of the water lter as shown in the table below.
Example:
Water hardness 9°dKH
