6.3.1

Filling with Fixed-water Connection (option)

CAREFUL

Possible brackish water back flow into the water
supply!

Contamination of potable water!

•

Install a backflow prevention system between building-

side water connection and the device.

•

The operator is responsible for implementing the

measure.

CAREFUL

Possible loosening of the water hose!

Water damage!

•

Always close the water supply of the pump on the water

tap after the operation and when the machine is
unattended.

CAREFUL

Pump damage!

•

Only connect the pump to a potable water supply of

drinking water, or preferably to a softening / desalination
plant.

•

Conductivity must be at least 2 µS/cm.

The commissioning was executed. (Chapter 4)

The device is connected to a fixed-water supply. (Chapter 4.4
Installation of a fixed-water supply)

The device is switched on at the mains supply switch!

The device is ready for use!

The pressure vessel is completely filled or filled above the minimum
level.

If the pressure vessel is empty or below the minimum fill level, then fill
the pressure vessel in advance manually with about 2 litres of water
(Chapter 6.2).

1. Open the on-site water tap for the water supply.

2. The automatic filling or refilling starts approximately 30 seconds

after switching on the device.

During the operation, the filling will be regulated via the filling
level monitoring.
