Functional description

If softened water is consumed, then fresh water flows through the base exchanger cylinder and is softened. If the residual hardness of the softened water exceeds a marginal value, the hard water sensor triggers a regeneration of the base exchanger cylinder. The base exchanger cylinder is regenerated using the brine from the salt tank. If the buffer tank of permeate is partially empty, then softened water flows from the base exchanger via – finest filter, – inlet valve, – Pump, – RO membrane, – to the buffer tank for permeate. The RO membrane separates the softened water in the permeate and concentrate. The permeate flows to the buffer container for permeate. A part of the concentrate is fed back for achieving better yield to the suction side of the pump. If the Top care programme is active, the SS wash is supplied with water from the buffer tank for permeate.
