Manual Water Softener Regeneration
To be completed each time you refill with salt
A water softener is a crucial part of your warewashing set up, especially if you operate in a hard water area. A well-maintained water softener will protect your equipment from limescale build-up which likes to cling to parts such as heating elements, wash arms and water hoses leading to expensive engineer call outs. Scale can also be an aesthetic problem, leaving streaky and 'milky' looking marks on otherwise clean glasses and crockery.
Your manual water softener will only perform at full efficiency if it is well maintained and regularly inspected to see if it requires a salt top-up. Without topping up your softener with salt and performing a regeneration, the resin inside can become depleted, leading to the softener to cease working.
