6.3.3 Intake line connection
The intake line is routed through the wall into the house, and connected to the RM Favorit.
The gland screw is to be tightened to the
RM Favorit
connector.
As the intake hose should not exert any force on the coupling to
the unit, the pipe should be securely fastened to the wall with
separate pipe clamps.
6.3.4 Installation of the floating intake
For best water quality, we recommend the intake line in the tank is installed as a floating intake.
The accessory product SAUGSAGF 1” (Article No. 21 01 30) is
designed for this requirement. The rainwater is drawn from just
below the water surface where the water is the cleanest. The
integrated non-return valve ensures that water is always present in
the suction line. The intake sieve provides additional protection
against debris clogging the pump.
If the intake accessory is installed on site, make sure that the intake
has a non-return valve, as well as an intake filter. The intake is
mounted in such a way, that with the tank being empty, the intake
sits at a minimum distance of 20 cm from the bottom of the tank. In
this way, the intake of base sediment is safely prevented.
