Installation

5.1 

Requirements in relation to the installation site 

Observe local installation directives, general guidelines and technical specifications. The 
installation site must be frost-proof and ensure the system's protection from chemicals, dyes, 
solvents and vapours. 

Always install a drinking water filter and, if required, a pressure reducer (e.g. fine filter 
pureliQ:KD) upstream of the system. A shock-proof socket is required within a distance of 
approx. 1.2 m of the system. A drain connection (DN 50) must be available to discharge the 
regeneration water. 

 

 

Note: The system will not function without continuous power supply. 

 

●  No soft water will be available if the system is operated without electricity. 

►  Do not interconnect the socket with a light switch, heating emergency switch or 

the like.
