1) If the drinking water has a higher °dH than what is indicated in
VDI 2035, a water softener must be installed in the filling pipe
to the heating system - this in order to guarantee the function
of the heat pump. However, when the hardness is already
greater than 3 °dH, the performance of the heat pump will
deteriorate with time because of the lime deposits left on the
heat exchanger surfaces.
2) The standard discusses the problems but does not set any limit
values. This is why, we supplement with the following values:
Oxygen content, O
2
-0.5-1 mg/l. Carbon dioxide content, CO
2
-
<1 mg/l. Chloride, Cl - <100 mg/l. Sulphate, SO4 - <100 mg/l. If
the drinking water exceeds the limit values for chloride or
sulphate content, an ion exchange filter must be installed in
the filling pipe for the heating system. Do not use any water
treatment additives except agents for raising the pH level, keep
the water clean.
