4.2 Transport notice
Note: For returning and transport reasons the RO device must be in an upright position. The
electrical components must be protected from moisture. In the case of an installed AS dosing
station, the to overlength components have to protect with padding. The devices packaging
are marked with self-explanatory pictograms.
4.3 Installation
Installation conditions
When installing the device, select a location where the unit can easily be connected to the
water supply network. In addition, note the following requirements.
•
The installation site must be free of frost and must protect the device from chemicals,
paint, solvents and fumes.
•
The ambient temperature must not exceed 35 °C. Avoid direct heat sources, such as radiat-
ors.
•
The installation floor must be even and must withstand the operating weight load (see the
chapter
Technical data [
}
49]).
•
The recommended distance from the device to the wall for maintenance and service work
is ≤ 0.6
m.
•
A duct connection (floor drain and separate mains connection, see chapter Technical data
[
}
49]) is required in the immediate vicinity.
•
The required voltage and feed water pressure must be ensured at all times.
Pre-treatment
In general, a pre-filter should be installed upstream of any reverse osmosis device. If the feed
water is treated with oxidising disinfectants (chlorine, chlorine dioxide, etc.), an activated car-
bon filter must be fitted upstream from the unit. Any other pre-treatment must be determined
by the BWT service team based on the feed water quality.
Installing the device
ü All RO treatment devices (e.g. softener, pre-filter) must be fitted and put into operation in
accordance with their separate operating manual.
ü
Only corrosion-resistant materials (e.g. plastic or stainless steel) must be used in the per-
meate area.
1) Install the device in such a way that it cannot rotate or fall.
2) Install a block valve in accordance with DIN EN 1717 upstream from the RO device. This pre-
vents the possible contamination of drinking water caused by backflow.
3) BWT recommends fitting a shut-off valve on the inlet side of the RO device to ensure that
the feed water supply can be stopped for servicing purposes.
