Softening capacity
The capacity depends on the water hardness. According to BILT, the following guideline values apply to the Nical 900:
-
9 °fH / 5 °dH: approx. 300 liters
-
18 °fH / 10 °dH: approx. 150 liters
-
27 °fH / 15 °dH: approx. 100 liters
-
36 °fH / 20 °dH: approx. 75 liters

Important: The Nical 900 is not a submersible filter that lies loosely in the water. For machines with an open water tank without an intake connection, the BILT Oscar series is suitable instead.
