Water quality requirements
All water contains substances, e.g. Ca (HCO
3
)
2
(calcium hydrogen
carbonate) that could affect the operation of your heating system. These
can cause corrosion, scale formation or deposits potentially affecting
the system's service life and/or system efficiency.
To ensure your heating system always operates economically, properly
and safely, not to mention in an energy-efficient manner, we recommend
that you regularly monitor the quality of the fill and make-up water and
treat it accordingly as and when necessary.
For the correct use and treatment of the fill and make-up water, the
contents of the following table MUST be observed.
2.4 The correct fuel
To ensure it operates properly, the heating system requires fuel of the
correct type and grade.
NOTICE: System damage from corrosion or scale
formation as the result of using fill and make-up water
that does not conform to the system-specific
requirements.
▶ Ask your trained and certified installer or local water
company what the concentration of Ca (HCO
3
)
2
(calcium hydrogen carbonate) is in your area.
▶ If the fill and make-up water does not meet system-
specific requirements, it will have to be treated.
Consult your trained and certified installer if this is
the case.
