Do not use salt at this level.
If you use multi-tablets containing salt and
the hardness of your water is lower than
21°dH, you can set the lowest water
softener level. It deactivates the salt refill
indicator.
If you use standard detergent or
multi-tablets without salt, set the
proper water hardness level to keep
the salt refill indicator active.
