Water hardness is measured in equivalent scales:

•German degrees (dH°).

•French degrees (°TH).

•mmol/l (millimol per litre - international unit for the hardness of water).

•Clarke.

Adjust the water softener to the water hard- ness in your area. If necessary, contact your local water authority.
