4.5 Hydraulic connection
The device must be connected to the water supply network by an authorised and qualified
sanitary plumber. The local statutory installation and accident prevention regulations, general
standards and guidelines and the hygiene requirements and technical data must be complied
with.
Hydraulic connection of the device (not BWT PERMAQ® Pico Vario)
To establish the hydraulic connection of the device, proceed as follows.
ü
The installation of an upstream stop valve (not included in the delivery) is recommended.
1) Connect the softened water line to the feed water inlet.
2) Guide the permeate line to the outlet and flush thoroughly.
3) Connect the permeate line to the consumer (e.g. permeate tank).
4) Connect the concentrate line to the customer-supplied waste water connection with the
“free run-off” or to a salt water-resistant lifting unit. Prevent the hose from weaving.
A maximum connection height of 1.0
m and minimum slope of approx. 1.0% applies for the
correct connection of the concentrate line.
NOTICE! The line must not be kinked or have
any other constrictions in its cross section.
