-
The use of groundwater,
demineralized water and distilled
water, is not permitted (an
explanation of these terms can be
found on the next page).
-
If the drinking water quality lies
within the limits of the values in
Table 1, then one can proceed
with the installation of the

equipment.
-
Residues of corrosion products
(magnetite), assembly materials,
cutting oil and other undesirable
products, must be removed during

In such a case, one should make
sure to take the entire system into
consideration.
-
The central heating installation must
be de-aerated properly, before it is
taken into operation. Please check
the Chapter “Commissioning”
in this regard.
-
If a regular topping up of water
is required (> 5% per year), then
there is a problem with the system

technician. Regular topping up
with fresh water adds oxygen and
lime to the system, which leads
to deposits.
-
If an anti-freeze agent or other
additives are used, then it must be
regularly checked to ensure that the

Inhibitors may only be used after
consultation with ATAG.
