6 - CAPACITY SETTINGS
Knowing the resin volume in the vessel and the brine concentration (g of salt/litre of resin), you
can establish the softened water capacity of your installation. (g of salt/litre of resin)
As a guideline, you will find in the chart hereunder a few brine concentrations with their
conversion in exchange capacity.

Resin volume x exchange capacity
Hardness of water to remove °Th
Example :
Water hardness 30°Th, resin volume 12 litres per vessel and a brine concentration of 150 g of salt
per litre of resin:
12 x 6 =72 m

72 / 30=2,4 m

Important note: 9000/9100/9500 valves regenerate with soft water provided by the vessel
in service. It is necessary to deduct the water volume consumed for the regeneration.
