Water Hardness

It is important to know if you live in a hard, medium or soft water area since this determines what dosage of washing detergent you should use.Tell tale signs of hard water are:

• A "ring around your bath tub"
• Soaps and shampoos do not lather easily
• White deposits around taps and drains
• Fabrics feel stiff, not fluffy
• If in doubt contact your local water authority or supplier.

You need to use a higher dosage of detergent in hard water areas to maintain cleaning performance and avoid the build-up of dirt and hard water deposits in your machine.
