Abstract (en)
The present invention relates to an ironing apparatus comprising: a water tank, a filter for reducing the water hardness placed in fluid communication with the tank and adapted to receive and filter the water contained in the tank, an iron that comprises at least a main body and a thermo-conductive metal plate secured to the base of the main body and adapted to receive the filtered water from the filter. Furthermore, the filter for reducing the water hardness comprises at least one ion exchange resin provided with silver ions. Such a filter for reducing the water hardness provided with ion-exchange resins supplied of silver ions is able to prolong the life of the iron, reducing the hardness of the filtered water and preventing the formation of algae in the filter itself, thus avoiding thereby the formation of limestone and the proliferation of algae in both resins and other parts of the hydraulic lines in the iron.
