3.7 Domestic hot water
Unless contrary to other national regulations, the latest versions of the following
standards and guidelines apply:
Austria:
Germany:
ÖNORM H 5195
VDI 2035
Switzerland:
Italy:
SWKI BT 102-01
UNI 8065
Observe the standards and also follow the recommendations below:
r Aim for a pH value of between 8.2 and 10.0. If the central heating water comes into
contact with aluminium, the pH value must be between 8.0 and 8.5
r Use prepared water which complies with the standards cited above for filling and
make-up water
r Avoid leaks and use a closed heating system to maintain water quality during
operation
r When filling with make-up water, always bleed the filling hose before connecting, in
order to prevent air from entering the system
Advantages of prepared water:
▪ Complies with the applicable standards
▪ Less of a drop in output due to reduced limescale build-up
▪ Less corrosion due to fewer aggressive substances
▪ Long-term cost savings thanks to improved energy efficiency
Permitted water hardness for the fill and make-up water in accordance with VDI
