Safe operation of the equipment is
possible only when the operating instructions and safety notes are read
completely, and the instructions contained therein are strictly followed.
Drinking Water
❑ Drinking water quality is ensured only when the
equipment is controlled within the scheduled
periods. Observe the given control intervals.
❑ Have the drinking water quality checked in reg-
ular intervals; the valid drinking water regulations are to be observed.
Chemicals
❑ Wear acid-resistant protective clothing (gog-
gles and gloves).
❑ Store chemicals cool and dry, however, not
below 5 °C.
❑ Keep chemicals at locations not accessible for
children.
❑ Ensure good room ventilation and provide a
washing facility.
❑ Have eye wash bottle readily available.
Electrical Equipment
❑ Work on the electrical equipment is to be car-
ried out only by skilled persons for electrical
work.

The equipment may be put into operation only when set-up, installed and prepared for operation by an authorized KÄRCHER specialist dealer.
Version 06/05
WTC 600 LP / MP
3.1Starting Operation
Before starting operation:
• Make sure that the equipment is connected to
the untreated water source and the respective
transporting gear, e. g., admission-pressure
unit.
• Ensure the unrestricted flow of the drinking water
into a tank or a suitable device on the user side.
The drinking water must be able to run
off without counterpressure. The height
difference must not exceed 3 m.
3.1.1Admission-pressure Unit
In case an admission-pressure unit
is necessary, it will be installed by a
i
Kärcher service technician.
The admission-pressure unit consists of a
pump (21) and a control device (22). The operating condition of the pump is indicated with three
indicator lights:
• Green (24):Ready for operation
• Yellow (25): Pump delivering
• Red (26):Malfunction or water low

• The reset button (23) starts the pump after failure
3.1.2Filling the Metering Stations
If the system is equipped with one or
more metering stations, it must be en-
i
sured that these are correctly filled and
connected.
• Put on protective clothing.
• Open the lid (27) of the metering station (30).
2829
27
30
• Fill the respective chemical into the metering
station according to Section 3.2.6.
The metering stations must not be
mixed up or mistaken, meaning filled
with the wrong chemical.
• Add the corresponding amount of chlorine-free
drinking water.
• Shut the lid of the metering station.
• Pull the mixing rod (28) out of the metering
station to the stop and push back in again.
Repeat this procedure for approx. 5 minutes
until the chemical is completely mixed.

WTC 600 LP / MP
If the metering container was completely empty, the metering pump (29)
may have possibly drawn in air. In this
case, bleed the air from the pump as
described in Section 3.2.3.
Version 06/05
3.1.3Switching On the Equipment
• Check if the pumps of the metering station,
sand and activated carbon filter are connected
to the respective power outlets (18 / 19) at the
switch box (8).
• Check if the operating mode switch (9) is in the
correct position “Automatic” or “Hand”.
In the “Automatic” operating mode, the
system is controlled via an external float
i
switch in the drinking water tank.
In the “Hand” operating mode, the system is switched on and off manually via
the main switch.
• Switch the main switch (20) to the “I” position;
the system starts the drinking water production.

Drinking water quality is ensured only when the following control intervals are met. In case
deviations from the desired condition can not be eliminated through the measures mentioned,
the drinking water production must be stopped and the Kärcher Service must be notified.

• Place a bucket under the untreated water drain
cock (37) and open the cock.
• Wait until no more water emerges out of the
cock, then shut the cock again.
• Attach the filter wrench (41) to the filter bowl
(40) and screw off the filter bowl.
The filter bowl is still filled with water.

• Remove the filter insert (38) from the filter bowl
and replace with a new one.

• Before screwing on the filter bowl, check the
sealing ring (39) for damage.
• Screw on the filter bowl and tighten with the filter wrench.
• Open the untreated water supply again and
start the system with the main switch.
3.2.5Fine Adjustment of the Operating
Pressures
In case of alterations to the system
adjustments, the following values must
not be exceeded under any circumstances:
• Pump pressure, max. 21 bar (MP) or
14 bar (LP)
• Drinking water amount, max. 650 l/h
• The concentrate amount must not exceed the operational start-up value
The system reacts somewhat timedelayed to alterations of the regulation
i
valves. Therefore carry out the adjustment at the pressure control valve (14)
and at the concentrate control valve
(13) only in small steps, and wait until
checking the respective effect.
(1) Flow of drinking water has decreased
from _____ to _____ l/h
Read off the amount of drinking water at the flow
meter (42) and compare with the value taken
when starting operation (see operational start-up
record).
If the flow of drinking water has decreased to _____ l/h , the following fine
adjustment is to be carried out.
If the fine adjustment does not lead to
an increase in the drinking water flow,
the Kärcher Service must be contacted.
• Slowly shut the pressure control valve (14) in
clockwise direction until the desired amount is
almost reached at the flow meter (42).
• Slowly shut the concentrate control valve (13)
in clockwise direction until the respective set
value is reached on both flow meters for concentrate (43) and drinking water (42).
Notice: The quantity of concentrate will increase. This is correct.
• Carry out a readjustment on both valve levers,
if required.

(2) Conducting capacity of the drinking
water has increased from _____
to _____ µS/cm
Small increases of the drinking water
conducting capacity do not influence
i
the drinking water quality.
On the display of the control panel (10), read the
current drinking water conductance value and
compare with the value taken when starting operation (see operational start-up record).
If the drinking water conductance value
has increased to _____ µS/cm, the following fine adjustment is to be carried out.
If the fine adjustment does not lead to a
decrease of the drinking water conductance value, the Kärcher Service
must be contacted.
• Open the concentrate control valve (13) in counterclockwise direction in small steps until the conductance capacity has reached the set value.
• Shut the pressure control valve (14) in clockwise direction in small steps until the drinking
water amount in the viewing glass (42) has
reached the set value.

Maintenance and Care
Notice: The amount of concentrate will increase. This is correct.
Observe the maximum pressure of 21 bar
(MP) or 14 bar (LP) at the manometer (11)!
• Repeat the adjustment steps, if required. The
original drinking water amount may possibly
not quite be reached.
• Compare the differential pressure with the

concentrate pressure has increased
by more than _____ bar
• Read the values at the manometer for the
pump pressure (11) and for the concentrate

(2) Metered Addition
For mixing of the chemical, only unchlorinated drinking water may be
used.
This water is taken from the drinking
water sampling valve (44).
44
The metered addition is carried out dependent of
the level in the metering container.
Completely emptied metering container:
• Fill 10 l of drinking water into the metering container.
• With a measuring cup, measure the 7.5 -fold
amount mentioned in the “10 Liter Water” column of the respective chemical and fill into the
container.
• Fill the container with drinking water to the “75
l” mark and mix according to Section 3.1.2.
Partially emptied metering container:
• Read off the level of the fluid with help of the
scale at the metering container, e. g., 35 l.
• Determine the quantity to be refilled by subtracting the read level from the 75 l.
Example: 75 l - 35 l = 40 l.
• Determine the required amount of the respective chemical from the metering table.
Example: 4 x the amount for 10 l water.
• Measure the determined amount of the respective chemical and fill into the container.
• Refill amount of water to the “75 l” mark and
mix in accordance with Section 3.1.2.
3.3Switching Off the Equipment
If the equipment is not operated for
periods exceeding 14 days, it must be
preserved by the Kärcher Service.
Otherwise permanent damage must be
expected.
• Switch the main switch (20) to the “O” position;
the equipment stops the drinking water production.
Never switch off the equipment overnight! Otherwise the automatic cleaning of the pre-filter is not carried
through. Danger of damage to the
equipment is given!
