This new softener equipment works by exchanging ions  from the urban network water. The water will also be pre-filtered to improve quality and to protect the entire hotel Tigaiga installation.

This facility is also intended to protect the environment: thanks to the new softener we plan to reduce the consumption of detergent (kitchen) and the need of fabric softener (laundry). We also hope to keep the machinery for more years (dishwashers, washing machines, ice machines, plumbing fixtures (minimizing the use of degreasing and descaling products).
