In the Asber Tech Dishwasher or Glasswasher (GT Series), models are equipped with a water softener internally to the machine that’s designed to protect the machine and components from limescale in areas with water hardness equal to or greater than 10 °fH.
This softener has a manual regeneration process and needs to be refreshed periodically with salt to ensure its effective operation. Failure to regenerate the softener may result in the accumulation of limescale within the machine's pipes, leading to potential blockages and operational issues, as well as invalidating your manufacturer's warranty.
