Water softeners reduce calcium and magnesium ion concentration in hard water, which otherwise precipitates out as scale on boiler surfaces and heat exchangers, reducing heating efficiency and, in a pressurized system, risking overheated metal and catastrophic failure. This 12L stainless steel unit is rechargeable, so there's no filter cartridge to replace, recharging is done with ordinary rock salt available at any hardware, plumbing or grocery store.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSPECIFICATIONS\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConnection: 3\/8\" BSP (standard fittings; an adapter may be needed for some supply hoses)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDimensions: 500 mm height x 185 mm diameter\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eResin content: 9 L\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRegeneration salt: 1.5 kg NaCl rock salt (for reference, not included)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaterial: Stainless Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCOMPATIBILITY\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFits: commercial espresso machines requiring a 3\/8\" BSP water softener for hard water treatment\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eINSTALLATION\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFollow the \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0511\/8282\/9755\/files\/LT-Series-instruction-manual.pdf?v=1726062134\" title=\"DVA LT Series Softener Manual\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"\u003efactory user manual\u003c\/a\u003e (page 10 for English); for a quick, complete install we recommend adding \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.espressoparts.mom\/3-8-press-in-tubing\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e5 feet of plastic hose\u003c\/a\u003e (or more), \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.espressoparts.mom\/3-8-f-jg-od-tube-x-3-8-f-jg-od-tube-shut-off-valve\" target=\"_blank\"\u003ea shut-off valve\u003c\/a\u003e, \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.espressoparts.mom\/john-guest-straight-check-valve-3-8-jg-x-3-8-jg\" target=\"_blank\"\u003ea check valve\u003c\/a\u003e, and \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.espressoparts.mom\/espresso\/installation\/fittings-hoses\/3-8-john-guest-x-3-8-bspp-female\" target=\"_blank\"\u003ea fitting for the water inlet\u003c\/a\u003e.
