▶
If you ascertain that it contains magnetite, clean the in-
stallation and apply suitable corrosion-protection meas-
ures, or fit a magnet filter.
▶
Check the pH value of the removed water at 25 °C.
▶
If the value is below 8.2 or above 10.0, clean the installa-
tion and treat the heating water.
▶
Ensure that oxygen cannot get into the heating water.
Checking the filling and supplementary water
▶
Before filling the installation, measure the hardness of the
filling and supplementary water.
Treating the filling and supplementary water
▶
Observe all applicable national regulations and technical
standards when treating the filling and supplementary
water.
▶
In particular, observe VDI directive 2035, sheets 1 and 2.
Provided the national regulations and technical standards
do not stipulate more stringent requirements, the following
applies:
You must treat the heating water in the following cases:
–
If the entire filling and supplementary water quantity dur-
ing the operating life of the system exceeds three times
the nominal volume of the heating installation, or
–
If the guideline values listed in the following table are not
met, or
–
If the pH value of the heating water is less than 8.2 or
more than 10.0.

boiler systems, the smallest single heating output is to be used.
Caution.
Risk of material damage if the heating
water is treated with unsuitable additives.
Unsuitable additives may cause changes in
the components, noises in heating mode and
possibly subsequent damage.
▶
Do not use any unsuitable frost and cor-
rosion protection agents, biocides or seal-
ants.
No incompatibility with our products has been detected to
date with proper use of the following additives.
▶
When using additives, follow the manufacturer's instruc-
tions without exception.
We accept no liability for the compatibility of any additive or
its effectiveness in the rest of the heating system.

Filling the heating installation
1
1.
Flush the heating installation thoroughly before filling it.
2.
Observe the information on the topic of treating
(
→
Page 16) heating water.
3.
Open all thermostatic radiator valves.
4.
Undo the cap on the product's purging valve
(1)
by one
or two turns.
5.
Connect the filling/draining cock (to be provided on-site)
in the heating installation to a heating water supply in
accordance with the relevant standards.
Note
Do not fill the heating installation via the pro-
duct's filling/draining cock.
6.
Open the heating water supply.
7.
If necessary, check that both service valves on the
product are open.
8.
Slowly open the heating installation's filling/draining
cock to fill the heating installation.
9.
Close the purging valve on the product as soon as wa-
ter escapes.
