CONT

As the resin has a marked preference for alkaline-earth cations the final hardness of the water is equal to the TH-TAC value of the raw water. It may therefore fall to zero if the TH is lower than or equal to the TAC.

La résine ayant une préférence marquée pour les cations alcalino-terreux, la dureté finale de l'eau est égale à la valeur TH-TAC de l'eau brute. Elle peut donc tomber à zéro si le TH est inférieur ou égal au TAC.
