Device for online water hardness monitoring for quality controlled triggering of regeneration
Various operating modes allow both, a pure water hardness monitoring as well as a quality controlled triggering of regeneration of the water softener. Compared to a quantity controlled operation, the soft water throughput will be substantially increased and operating costs reduced.
TECHNICAL DATA
