1 Safety Notes

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.

❑ Never touch damaged or cut through mains

cables; pull the mains plug immediately, as
required.

❑ Never operate the equipment with a damaged

cable.

2 Intended Use

The equipment is used for conditioning of surface
water, well water and river water.

Depending on the untreated water quality,
the modular set-up enables secure separation
of turbid materials, water hardeners, salts and
bacteria/ virus.

3.1 Starting 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.

3.1.1 Admission-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

3.1.2 Filling 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.

• 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.
