Degrees of water hardness
Water hardness is classified in so-called “de-
grees” of hardness. Information on hardness
of the water in your area can be obtained
from the relevant water supply company, or
from your local authority.
A water softener must be added when
water has a medium-high degree of
hardness (from degree of hardness II).
Follow the manufacturer’s instructions.
The quantity of detergent can then al-
ways be adjusted to degree of hardness
I (= soft).
