1. General / Safety information
1.1 General information
The magnetic
®
Heating Water Regulator is used as a reaction vessel for the electrochemical treatment of heating water for
chemical-free operation of heating systems. The electrochemical water treatment contributes to a water quality that will ren-
der damage caused by the formation of limestone and corrosion unlikely.
The functional components are made from stainless steel, brass fittings, high potential magnesium alloy and high-quality
plastic components. The reaction vessel is made of stainless steel. Elastomers, hemp and aramid fibres (KLINGERSIL
C-4400) are used as sealing materials. High quality polyurethane foam or high quality non-woven fabrics with fire classifica-
tion B1 are used as insulation materials. The materials used comply with generally accepted engineering standards.
The instructions in this operating manual allow you to operate this system in a proper, safe and efficient manner. It is particu-
larly important to observe basic instructions for installation, operation and maintenance. Each person working with this sys-
tem must read the operating manual in its entirety, take of the instructions stated in it and apply them. Besides the operating
manual, observe current and locally applicable rules for accident prevention for safe, professional handling. In addition, the
manufacturer recommends keeping a written record on site. The form at the end of this operating manual may be used for
this purpose. This operating manual must always be available at the place of operation.

Heating Water Regulator is used for the electrochemical treatment of water as part of chemical-free corro-
sion protection within closed water-bearing systems, such as heating systems. It is used to attain effective corrosion pro-
tection through ideal water quality without additional chemicals, to remove existing circulating impurities and to prevent
the formation of new corrosion products. In particular, heating water regulators are used in heating systems where there
is an increased risk of corrosion due to constant oxygenation, such as is the case for floor heating with plastic piping
which are permeable to diffusion. In addition, regulators are more commonly used in lower temperature systems (e.g. heat
pumps) or within the context of so-called “low-salt” operation of heating systems, mostly to stabilise the pH value.
Corrosion in heating systems is caused by the interaction of several factors. The magnetic
®
Heating Water Regulator is not
a stand-alone corrosion protection device. We see it as a measure within the overall context of the system operation. The
magnetic
®
regulator makes a decisive contribution to chemical-free corrosion protection due to its positive effect on the
heating water thanks to natural layer formation and passivation of the metals in the system. Its core functions are:
• Attrition of dissolved oxygen through an electrochemical reaction
• Removal of circulating air bubbles
• Increasing the pH value >8.3 through electrochemically formed hydroxide
• Removal of circulating impurities from system water
