Zusammenfassung: | The present invention is directed to a water-hardness reducing apparatus (100) for reducing the formation of chalk deposits in a water supply (101) adapted to be coupled with a beverage generating apparatus (103), comprising, a cation exchange element (107), which is in fluidic connection with a water source (105) of the water supply (101) for supplying water, wherein the cation exchange element (107) is adapted to remove cations from the supplied water to obtain cation reduced water, a first pH sensor (109), which is positioned downstream of the cation exchange element (107), wherein the first pH sensor (109) is adapted to assess a first pH value of the cation reduced water, a lye supplying element (113), which is positioned downstream of the cation exchange element (107), wherein the lye supplying element (113) is adapted to supply lye to the cation reduced water, and a controller (111), which is connected to the first pH sensor (109) and to the lye supplying element (113), wherein the controller (111) is configured to activate the lye supplying element (113) for supplying lye to the cation reduced water, depending on the assessed first pH value of the cation reduced water. |
