At this moment, controller 152 recovers valve 127 according to being opened and closed by hardness detecting unit 140 detected rinse water hardness.For example, when being increased by hardness detecting unit 140 detected rinse water hardness, controller 152 controls recover valve 127 makes that recovering valve 127 is opened more continually.Here, if softening fully by ion exchange resin, then clean hardness of water and will reduce, otherwise hardness be with higher from the rinse water of pliable cell 121 dischargings.
As mentioned above, because when the cleaning hardness of water of 121 dischargings from the water softening unit increases, the absorbability that can determine the ion exchange resin of water softening unit 121 reduces, so when the cleaning hardness of water of 121 dischargings from the water softening unit increased, the time of opening of recovering valve 127 can further shorten.Therefore, by recovering water softening unit 121 in time, the dirt that metal ion forms on bucket 20 and water collector 110 can be minimized.
In addition, control module 152 can only just be opened in drying process and recover valve 127.For example, when controller 152 determines that the 121 cleaning hardnesss of water of discharging are greater than reference value from the water softening unit (S23), then determine whether carrying out drying process.When controller 152 determines that drying process is not being carried out, recover valve 127 and keep its closed condition.On the other hand, when definite drying process is being carried out, recover the recovery solution that valve 127 is included in the recovery unit 125 and can be directed into water softening unit 121 (S25) thereby open.At this moment, the ion exchange resin of water softening unit 121 is resumed the solution storage.
In addition, determine whether drying process finishes (S26).When definite drying process is finished, close and recover valve 127 (S27).Obviously, can also control and recover valve 127, thereby after recovery valve 127 is opened one period scheduled time, close and recover valve 127.
