Original Abstract Submitted
a washing machine may include: a hardness component remover including a resin charging chamber between a downstream buffer space and an upstream buffer space and containing an ion-exchange resin; a saturated regeneration water generation vessel in which saturated regeneration water is to be generated; a regeneration water passage connecting the saturated regeneration water generation vessel to the downstream buffer space; a drain passage connecting the upstream buffer space to a drain; a first on-off valve to open and close the regeneration water passage; a second on-off valve to open and close the drain passage; at least one processor; and memory storing instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the at least one processor to perform a regeneration process to regenerate the ion-exchange resin.
