Sodium to Total Cation Ratio :From the water analysis data,

Sodium to Total Cation Ratio = ( 222.04 / 802.53 ) * 100
= 27.66 %
Regeneration Level :Since, the desired Hardness Leakage is 1 ppm, from graph no. 4,
Regeneration Level : 130 gm of NaCl / Liter of Resin
Operating Capacity Calculations :
From Graph No. 3,
Operating Capacity at Regenration level : 60 gm of CaCO3 / Liter of Resin
From Graph No. 5,
Correction Factor for the Sodium to Cation Ratio of 28 % : 0.99
Correction Factor for the Hardness of 580.49 ppm as CaCO3 : 0.99
Therefore,
Corrected Operating Capacity : 60 * 0.99 * 0.99
: 58.806 gm CaCO3 / Liter of Resin
