Connection to the drinking water main
When hooking up to the drinking water 
main, a backflow preventer (in 
accordance with IEC/EN 60335-2-79) 
must be installed between the water tap 
and the hose.
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.
