After filling, the shut-off device must be activated to
prevent uncontrolled refilling of the heating system.
Function of the AQA therm HES
The BA-installed AQA therm HES, which is installed
immediately after the AQA therm HFB-1717, compri-
ses a water meter, a docking point for an optional
softening cartridge (AQA therm HRC) or desalination
cartridge (SRC), an integrated shut-off ball valve and
a distilled water filling point (warning: non-potable
water!). This is used for softening/desalination and
to register the flushing, filling and refilling volumes.
AQA therm HES works either with the AQA therm
HRC/hardness-reducing cartridge, using the ion
exchange principle (whereby alkaline earth metals
found in the water, like calcium and magnesium, are
replaced with sodium ions), or with the SRC/desali-
nation cartridge (reduces both calcifying and corrosi-
ve substances in the water).
Desalination without additives is preferred. The inte-
grated ‘smart’ electrical water meter enables users to
register the flushing, filling and refilling volumes at all
times.
