Water Characteristics
The characteristics of the water used to fi ll the
system are very important to prevent the build-up
of mineral salts and the formation of incrustations
along the pipes, in the thermostove and in the heat
exchangers. Therefore, please get your plumber’s
advice concering:
• Hardness of water circulating in the system, to
prevent problems of incrustation and limescale,
especially in the domestic water heat exchanger
(>15° French).
• Installation of a water softener (if water hardness
> 15° French).
• Filling the system with treated water
(demineralised).
If you have very extensive system, with a large
amount of water, or which require frequent
refi lling, it is recommended the installation of
water softening system. It ‘should be noted that
the encrustations drastically reduce performance
because of their low thermal conductivity.

The pellets are cylinders of compressed wood, produced from sawdust and wood
processing (chips and sawdust), generally produced by sawmills and carpenters. The
binding capacity of the lignin contained in wood, allows to obtain a compact product
without adding additives and foreign chemicals to the wood, is therefore
obtained a natural fuel with high yield.
The use of expired pellets or any other unsuitable material can damage
parts of the thermostove and impair proper operation: this can lead
to the termination of the guarantee, and its producer responsibility.
For our products use pellets diameter 6 mm, length 30 mm and a maximum of 8% and
A1 certifi ed according to the UNI EN ISO 17225-2 standard. Keep the pellets away from heat
sources and not in humid environments or with explosive atmosphere.
