    Calculate Your Needs

    How do you choose the resin volume?

    Size your water softener in 4 steps

    1. Estimate your daily water needs

    Simply take your bills for the year, add up the billed water volumes, and divide by the number of days you were at home.

    Reference: average water consumption in France is around 150 liters per day per person.

    2. Decide on the water volume between regenerations

    For example, if you live with your partner, you use about 300 liters of water per day.

    If your goal is to regenerate the resin in your Ideal every 7 days on average, you get 2,100 liters.

    3. Measure your water hardness

    Tests are available as strips or a liquid at any home improvement store.

    4. Calculate your resin needs

    Calculation formula

    Resin volume = Water volume between regenerations × TH / 5,000
