6.1 Explanation of the Functional Guarantee
As part of the structural design and manufacturing of our elector reaction devices, we take the utmost care to
provide you with a high-quality and reliable product for the corrosion protection of your heating and/or cooling
system.
In addition to the statutory warranty period of 2 years as described in our General Terms and Conditions we
give a 5-year functional guarantee on the elector corrosion protection devices. This functional guarantee states
that the elector device will remain functional within the first 5 years from the date of purchase to perform the
electrochemical water treatment. Excluded from the functional guarantee arre wearing parts and fittings, such
as anodes, ball valves and similar equipment. Condition for the commencement of the functional guarantee is
that the device is registered with us withing the legal warranty period, stating the installation site, the owner and
installer and that the owner can prove a professional use of the device.
In order to obtain a claim to the functional guarantee, the operator must pay particular attention to the following
points:
Flushing
If the hydraulic functionality of the heating system is disturbed by impurities and sludge or if the water
is soiled with chemicals we suggest to flush the whole system before the installation of the elector.
Flushing is not necessary if there are impurities but no chemicals and no problems with the functiona-
lity of the system.
Predamages
In case of renovation of old systems the system has to be checked for hidden corrosion which are co-
vered by deposits (eg boiler return in horizontal sections, rust bubbles on pipes and manifolds) before
installing the elector. By removing the deposits as a function of the elector hidden corrosion damage
may cause a discharge of water from the system. We take no liability for consequential damages due
to hidden corrosion predamages.
Maintenance
The device must be flushed 4 weeks after installation according to our maintenance instructions. In
the refurbishment phase this maintenance procedure has to be repeated two times with an interval of
4 weeks. It is important that the pumps circulate the water through the system during the refurbish-
ment phase. The water should be clean at the last maintenance. If not, the maintenance operation has
to be repeated every 8 weeks until the water is clear. Afterwards the refurbishment phase is com-
pleted an a maintenance of the device once a year during the regular heatings system maintenance is
sufficient for the sustained protection against corrosion.
Function control
The elector-devices have an indicator that shows the activity of the anode. This indicator must be
monitored regularly.
Control of success
The success of the electrochemical water treatment is measurable. You should prepare a water analy-
sis once a year and run a constant documentation.
Professional use
By a professional use of the elector devices we understand as follows:
•
Installation of the device in accordance with our instructions, so that the flow of system water
through the device is ensured.
•
Consideration of our recommendations for make-up and feeding water.
•
Maintenance of the elector in accordance with our instructions every 4-8 weks in the refurbish-
ment phase.
•
Maintenance of the elector once a year in normal operation.
•
Regularly control of the anode function.
•
The replacement of the anode immediately after it is used up, but in the best possible manner in a
rythm of 2 years.
•
Verification and documentation of water values in terms of pH and conductivity during mainte-
nance and consulting with us, if these values strongly differ from our recommendations.
•
Traceable documentation of maintenance, eg on our maintenance form.
Registration
To activate the functional guarantee, the elector device must be registered with us within 2 years of the
date of purchase.
