3 -  WATER TREATMENT

•  The hardness of the feed water conditions the frequency at which the domestic hot water producer must be 

cleaned.

•  If the water has a hardness greater than 15°f, we recommend using water softeners, chosen according to the 

characteristics of the water.

•  We recommend checking and cleaning any installed domestic hot water exchanger at the end of the fi rst 

year of use and every two years thereafter; on this occasion, also check the state of wear of the anode.
