Technical Information

4.17.1Reactivation

The electronic unit activates the Softener Valve (Y38/1) and water from the Water Intake Assembly flows into the Salt Container, where it dissolves a quantity of salt to become a brine mixture.

The saturation point, above which the water cannot dissolve any more salt, is approximately 40%. The brine then flows past a mechanical Non-Return Valve into the Ion Exchanger and flushes the existing water into the Sump. The built-in Non-Return Valve in the Softener prevents the brine mixing with the incoming water during normal operation.

The brine flushes the resin in the Ion Exchanger, and replaces the retained calcium and magnesium ions, with sodium ions. At the next program start, the incoming water flushes out the remaining brine and hardness minerals before the actual dishwashing program begins.
