TLDR
In this article, a water softener for use in a dishwasher was developed, which is located in the dishwasher water supply between the primary supply valve and the wash chamber.Abstract:
A water softener particularly for use in a dishwasher. The water softener is located in the dishwasher water supply (238) between the primary supply valve and the wash chamber. The softener includes a resin container (207) with an ion exchange resin (290). Water supplied to the wash chamber optionally passes through the resin container (207). Regenerating brine is developed in a brine container (203). The brine container (203) is supplied manually with solid salt (270) and water diverted into the container from the main supply at an air break (201). In the regenerating cycle brine is delivered from the brine container (203) to the resin container (207) by a pump (206). The duty cycle of the pump (206) determines the degree of regeneration of the resin (290).read more

Arrangement for regeneration of the water softening resins in a washing machine
TL;DR: In this article, an arrangement for the regeneration of the water softening resins in a washing machine is described, which consists of a container (R ) for the resins used to reduce the degree of water hardness, a container(S) for the salt required for resins regeneration, metering means (E.V.) for the water to be delivered to the salt container (S) required for regeneration purposes, where the regeneration processes are carried out periodically in time, in particular at each wash cycle executed by the machine.
