- Chemical additions are to be avoided and should only be used after ATAG Heating Technology Ltd has
approved their corresponding use.
- Should you wish to achieve the required water quality by using chemical additives, then this is your own
responsibility. The warranty on the product delivered by ATAG Heating Technology Ltd expires, if the
water quality does not meet ATAG Heating Technology's specifications or the chemical additives have not
been approved by ATAG Heating Technology Ltd.
- On installation and during additions or changes at a later stage, ATAG Heating Technology Ltd
recommends to keep a record of the type of water used, its quality at the time, and if applicable, which
additives and quantities were added.
