Connection to the drinking water main
When hooking up to the drinking water 
main, a backflow preventer must be 
installed between the water tap and the 
hose. The design of the backflow 
preventer must comply with the 
applicable country-specific regulations.
If drinking water has passed through the 
backflow preventer, it can no longer be 
regarded as drinking water.
Follow the rules laid down by the local 
water supply company to prevent water 
flowing back from the high-pressure 
cleaner into the drinking water main.
The high-pressure cleaner can only be 
used in suction operation with the 
suction set (special accessory).

filter.
