Where should the Soft Water Pads be placed?
How long does it take to soften the water?
Can I use the Soft Water Pads more than once?
How do Soft Water Pads work?
I have a water softener in my house. Do I still need the Soft Water Pads?
How do I measure the hardness of my water after using the SoftWater Pad?
To measure your current water hardness we recommend the SpaBalancer Total Hardness Test Kit.
The SoftWater Pads should be well flowed through. Now I thought I would put the pads into the filter shaft and remove the filter. Can I do that?
Absolutely not. The pump could suck the SoftWater Pads and they could disappear in the pipes. So in any case leave the filters inside. You could attach the SoftWater Pads with a rubber directly to the filter. Or put them on the filters. Or tie them in the water in front of the filter shaft.
In the time I have the SoftWater Pads in the water, can I add UltraShock as well as the pH minus, as described in the instructions for refilling?
You can do the normal water maintenance while you have the pads in the water.
Can we take a bath while the pads are still in the water?
You can bathe while the pads are still in the water.
The SoftWater pads can be used several times according to the description, after placing them in distilled water with at least 30% salt content. Can the pads be stored for several months up to a whole year after they are no longer effective until they are regenerated in distilled water etc.? Does the regeneration still work after this long time?
I would not store them in the water. Bacteria can form. Leave the pads in the salt solution for about 4 weeks. Then add about 20 ml Ultrashock to the salt water. The Ultrashock prevents bacteria from forming in the wet SoftWater Pad. Leave the SoftWater Pads in the salt water for two more days. Remove the SoftWater Pads from the water. Let them dry a little. They must not become completely dry because the ion exchange resin beads will crack and lose their effectiveness as ion exchangers. Put the pads into the original bag and keep them there.
How long does it need to be soaked in salt water until it is regenerated?
You should leave it in the salt water for at least a week. However, it can also be left in it for longer.
Does the amount of water matter? Is 1 litre enough?
The SoftWater Pad should be completely covered by the salt water.
Does the water need to be mixed or stirred in between?
It does not need to be mixed or stirred.
Is distilled water from the tumble dryer with some lint suitable and can the SoftWater Pad then simply be washed off under running water?
"Dirty" distilled water can be used.
After use and regeneration, should it be left to air dry or stored wet in the bag provided?
After regeneration, the pad should be dried to the point where it is still slightly damp but no longer dripping. It must then be placed in the bag provided and sealed. The resin balls must not dry out, otherwise they will break and no longer be effective.
