Using correct fill and make-up water3
3.2 Water quality
Any water contains substances, e. g. Ca (HCO
3
)
2
(Calcium hydrogen-carbonate), which may influence the
function of your heating system. These may lead to
corrosion, scaling or deposits.
Regularly check your water quality and, if necessary,
treat your fill and make-up water, to ensure that your
heating system permanently retains its economy,
function, operational reliability and energy efficiency.
Observe the following table regarding the appropriate
use and treatment of the fill and make-up water.
This table is an extract from the Code of Practice K8
"Water treatment for hot water heating systems" in the
Buderus sales catalogue.
CAUTION!
SYSTEM DAMAGE
through corrosion and scaling because of
fill and make-up water, which does not
comply with system-specific requirements.
Check with your local heating
contractor or your water supply
company regarding the Ca (HCO
3
)
2
concentration (calcium hydrogen-
carbonate) in your area.
You should treat the fill and make-up
water, if it does not comply with system-
specific requirements. In such cases
contact your local heating engineer.
