Basic information (system separators)
1 | Laws, regulations, standards
In the interest of good health, rules cannot be ignored when it comes to the pro-
cessing of drinking water. This operation manual takes into consideration the cur-
rent regulations and stipulates information that you will need for the safe opera-
tion of your system separator.
Among other things, the regulations stipulate that
only approved companies are permitted to make major modifications to water
supply facilities
and that tests, inspections and maintenance on installed devices are to be per-
formed at regular intervals.
