-
Check the pump rotation direction (arrow on the pump). Measure the current consumption.
Compare the values with the data on the nameplate.
Attention!
Never operate the pump running dry, running against a closed discharge
valve is permitted, operating against a closed shut-off value should be avoided, oth-
erwise there is danger of overheating.
-
The water pressure for the water supply should be 3.0 bar. Maximum allowable pressure is 6.0
bar.
-
For air washers the target pressure of the nozzles must be set at the built in discharge pipe
regulating valve.
-
Check the right set with a manometer.
-

Water quality for air washer and honey comb humidifier
Please check the supply water quality for air washer and honey comb humidifier. Critical to the
need for water treatment is particularly the carbonate hardness of fresh water.
Depending on water hardness and operational importance of the device, a suitable water treatment
method is to select. To ensure sufficient reliability, the recommended water qualities are shown in
below:
Appearance
clear, colorless, no sediment
pH value
7 to 8.5
Conductivity
max. 30 mS/m
