You should add approximately 1.2 kg of salt into the water softener. o It is perfectly normal for a small amount of water to come out of the water softener, whilst you are filling it with salt.
Setting the water softener level It is possible to regulate the amount of salt that the water softener will release during a wash cycle. The water softener should be set to a level that is appropriate for the hardness of your water (please refer to the table below).
