Program fl ush EN 806-4 with water-air mixture with constant compressed
air
The compressed air is fed continuously with an excess pressure of 0.5 bar
above the measured water pressure in this program. The compressed air pulses
in the program 3.1.2 fl ushing with water/air mixture with intermittent compressed
air" are omitted here. Although these considerably improve the cleaning effect,
they subject the pipes to greater stress. If there are any reservations about the
strength of the pipes to be fl ushed, this program at least achieves an improve-
ment of the cleaning effect in comparison with program 3.1.1 fl ushing with water
(without air supply) by a jolt-free turbulence due to the constantly fed compressed
air.

3.1.4 Program fl ush/desilt with the possibility to switch over the air supply
This program is suitable for fl ushing/desilting radiators and area heating systems.
The compressed air supply can be switched on with an excess pressure of 0.5
bar or switched off during the fl ushing process. The program starts fl ushing/
desilting without compressed air. The compressed air can be switched on or
off intermittently or the constant air supply switched on and off as required with
the arrow keys ↑ ↓ (8). The water pressure and the minimum fl ow velocity are
displayed on the screen (LCD) (Fig. 2 (6)) during fl ushing/desilting.

In order to be able to feed in compressed air, a water pressure of ≥ 0,2 bar must
be available and a water volume of ≥ 2 l must have fl owed through the machine.
Before fl ushing/desilting, it is essential to assess whether the radiator and area
heating system to be fl ushed will withstand the water pressure during fl ushing/
desilting.
It can last up to one minute before the selected compressed air supply starts
when switching the air supply on or over.
3.2 Program Ingredients / Disinfection of drinking water installations
CAUTION
CAUTION
No drinking water may be be drawn off for consumers during disinfection
of drinking water installations!
The European standard EN 806-4:2010 prescribes the following for the
"Selection of disinfectants":
"Drinking water installations may be disinfected after fl ushing if this is prescribed
by a responsible person or authority."
"All chemicals that are used for the disinfection of drinking water installations
must meet the requirements for chemicals for water treatment which are spec-
ifi ed in European standards or, if European standards are not applicable, in
national standards."
"Disinfectants must be used and applied in agreement with the appropriate EC
directives and all local or national regulations."
"Transport, storage, handling and use of all these disinfectants can be dangerous,
therefore health and safety requirements must be strictly observed."
"The system must be fi lled with the disinfection solution with the initial concen-
tration and for the contact time defi ned by the disinfectant manufacturer. If the
O),
remaining concentration at the end of the contact time is below the manufac-
2
O)
turer's recommendation, the whole disinfection process may have to be repeated
2
until the remaining concentration after the corresponding contact time has been
reached. After successful disinfection, the system must be drained immediately
and fl ushed thoroughly with drinking water. Flushing must be continued according
to the instructions/recommendations of the disinfectant or until the disinfectant
can no longer be traced or is below the level permitted by national regulations.
Persons carrying out the disinfection must be adequately qualifi ed."
"After fl ushing a sample (samples) must be taken and subjected to a bacteri-
ological examination. If the bacteriological examination of the sample/samples
reveals that insuffi cient disinfection has been achieved, the installation must
be fl ushed and disinfected again, then further samples must be taken."
"A full record of the details of the entire procedure and the test results must be
compiled and submitted to the owner of the building."
Technical Rule – Worksheet DVGW W 557 (A) October 2012 of the German
Association of the Gas and Water Industry e.V. (DVGW).
The following must be observed for Germany
additives, that are used for the disinfection of drinking water installations must
meet the requirements for chemicals for water treatment which are defi ned in
European or German standards (DIN EN 806-4)." "Every installation disinfection
stresses the materials and components of the drinking water installation so that
the drinking water installation can be damaged."
"If the chemical disinfection is carried out section by section, the line sections
to be treated must be shut off from the rest of the drinking water installation.
Opening the tapping points of the section of the installation to be disinfected
one after another ensures that the disinfectant gets into the whole section." "At
the end of the exposure time, a minimum concentration dependent on the initial
disinfectant concentration and exposure time necessary to assure disinfection
must be verifi able at all tapping points. This must be checked at least at every
tapping point of the individual lines farthest away from the dosing point."
"At the end of the disinfection of drinking water installations, the used disinfec-
tion solution must be cleared so that no damage to the environment is caused.
The oxidising effect of the disinfectant can be rendered ineffective by adding
reducers. The pH value must also be observed and corrected if necessary."
An application concentration for the dosing solution for hydrogen peroxide H
of 150 mg H
O
/ l and an exposure time of 24 hours are recommended.
