7 Water connection
Note:
The manufacturer recommends preventative
inspection be conducted around six months after
device commissioning to ascertain the degree of
limescale buildup in the steam generator, espe-
cially for CMP units.
This inspection should be performed by a trained
technician.

Water treatment
> The water connection must not use treated
water with hardness below 6°e, as such water
is aggressive and corrosive, and can shorten
the lifespan of the device.
> Connecting the SCC to water with hardness
below 8,75°e:
When the self-test begins, the system will
prompt the user to indicate the hardness of
the water the device is connected to. Select
“Water hardness below 8,75°e.
> Observe all country-specific regulations
regarding water and sewer connections, espe-
cially those regarding installation of water
intake points.
In most cases, water connections do not require
additional filters or water treatment.
Filtration and/or water treatment (A, B, C, D)
may be necessary if water conditions are critical.
Contact the local water supply company to
inquire about water chloride levels (Cl
–
), chlorine
levels (Cl
2
) and hardness.
7.4
Selecting water filters
A) Fine filters
We recommend fine filters with fineness of 5 -
15µm for filtering water contaminated with sand,
iron particles or suspended matter.
B) Active carbon filters
If water contains high levels of Cl
2
(over 0.2mg/l,
corresponds to 0.2ppm) (information provided
by water supply company), an upstream active
carbon filter must be installed.
