5.2 Installation locations and
environment
Softening units may not be installed in systems
The installation location must meet the following
criteria:
Protected against frost, chemicals, dyes, solvents
and fumes.
Structurally waterproofed.
Easy to connect to the water supply system.
Sufficient clearance to open the technology
cover. (For minimum clearance, see chapter
74; the clearance
of regenerative).
NOTE
A sewage system connection, oor
drain and separate power supply must
be available in the immediate vicinity. For
power supply data, see chapter “17 Tech-
nical data”, page 73.
not have an integrated AQA Stop function, a sepa-
rate safety device will have to be installed on site in
This safety device (e.g. external AQA Stop) has to
order to prevent unintended water leakage from the
softening unit if the product is damaged.
The rated mains power and the requisite operating
pressure must be present at all times. For data, see
chapter 73. A separate
means of protection against a shortage of water is
not provided and must be installed on site if desired.
5.2.1 Installation conditions with pump
must be appropriately equipped and sized:
The pump must be resistant to salt water.
Flow rate at least 2 m
3
/h or 35 l/min for products
for building services.
Flow rate at least 3 m
3
/h or 50 l/min for products
in the Rondomat and BWT Perla Professional
series.
Appropriate larger sizing if the pump is used
simultaneously for other products.
5.2.2 Reception conditions at the installa-
tion location
-
uct, either GSM reception or integration into a home
network via LAN or Wi-Fi should be possible at the
installation location (see chapter
page 26).
5.3 Inow water
-
cations of the Trinkwasserverordnung (German
Drinking Water Ordinance) or EU directive 98/83/
EC. The total dissolved iron and manganese must
be free of air bubbles. Install a bleed device if
necessary.
If the treated water is intended for human con-
(German Drinking Water Ordinance), the ambient
temperature must not exceed 25 °C.
If the treated water is intended for industrial pur-
poses only, the ambient temperature must not
exceed 40 °C.
The product’s maximum operating pressure must
never be exceeded (see chapter
73). If the network pressure is higher,
a pressure reducer must be installed upstream of
the product.
The product requires a minimum operating pressure
to function correctly (see chapter
73).
The optimal operating pressure is between 3 and
6 bar.
