remains with any product, especially if it is used incorrectly. Warranty claims are void unless the
provisions in this IOM are observed and followed.
1.5.1 Proper use
This device is for desalination of drinking-quality water at up to 30 °C and 0.4 MPa (4 bar). It can
be used either with or without an atmospheric pressure tank (application dependent). Consult
your dealer about installation reccomendations.
▽
ATTENTION!
The inflow water must not exceed the limit values given in the technical data or the calcium
f
solubility limit in paragraph 5.6!
The device shall only be used for its intended purpose as designed and as described here in
f
this manual. Any other use is considered "improper".
I
CAUTION!
The RO unit must be fed with cold water in drinking water quality.

Observe any country-specific installation regulations (such as DIN 1988, EN 1717, ), general
hygienic conditions and technical data for protecting the drinking water.
Unauthorised modifications to the RO device and technical alterations are not permitted.
Avoid mechanical damage to the device which may void the warranty.
Install a stop valve upstream of the RO device.
Connect the device only using flexible hoses that conform to local plumbing regulations (e.g.
DVGW W 543).
The device should not be installed in the vicinity of heat sources or open flames.
The RO device should not come into contact with chemicals, solvents, or vapours.
The installation site must be free of frost and protected from direct sunlight.
