Usage1
The Fresh Water Station is used to heat up tap
water in connection with a buffer tank. It will be
installed next to the buffer tank at the wall or
directly onto the buffer tank at special system
solutions.
Another use or installation is not intended. The
manufacturer is not liable for damages due to
inappropriate use and the operator bears the risk.
Do not connect the Fresh Water station directly to
any heat generator.
The Fresh Water Station includes a self-suffi cient
regulation and can be upgraded with an optional
circulation unit.

13Initiation
E & OE, subject to change without notice.
Initiation7
Material damages
Put Fresh Water Station into operation
only after completed fi lling.
Check tightness of swivel nuts.•
Fill device and check for leak-tightness.•
Open valves on both buffer and tap water •
sides slowly to avoid pressure blows.
Connect device to power supply.•
De-aeration and rinsing of device:•
Open a nearby hot water tapping point and »
turn thermostatic head to maximum.
The buffer-side is de-aerated with the »
charge pump bleed screw (see picture 4).
Continue the process until the system is
completely de-aerated.
Stream noises
in the charge pump are an indication
of air in the system.
Set the hot water temperature as desired by •
turning the thermostatic head.
Set circulation unit (optional)•
Clip on insulation.•
After initiation the complete system needs to be
checked for function and leak-tightness.
14 Malfunctions
E & OE, subject to change without notice.
Malfunctions 8
Prior to malfunction diagnostics, make sure
that the following parameters are met:
Suffi cient fl ow temperature, minimum 55°C at ►
maximum 45°C tap water temperature.
Faultless electrical connection. ►
Personal and material damage
Execute fault repair only with ade- ►
quate qualifi cation.
Disconnect the device from power ►
supply before opening it.
Adhere to regional norms and ►
regulations!
No hot water8.1
Cause Relief
Buffer tank not hot enough Increase temperature in buffer tank ►
Charge pump doesn’t
convey buffer water
Check water level in buffer tank (extraction of buffer water for the ►
Fresh Water Station happens at the highest point of the tank).
De-aerate buffer circuit and check system pressure. ►
Check, if all shutoffs (buffer and tap water side) are open. If not, ►
open them.
Check hydraulic resistance between buffer tank and Fresh Water ►
Station and reduce it, if necessary.
Check at initiation if the Fresh Water Station is correctly con- ►
nected to the buffer circuit and drinking water system.
Check Flow-Switch and electricity box. ►
Replace broken charge pump. ►
Flow-Switch sends no signal
to charge pump
Remove Flow-SwitchA
Clean Flow-Switch housingB
Reintegrate Flow-SwitchC
If the Flow-Switch still sends no signal to the charge pump, D
replace Flow-Switch.
Electricity box broken
(relay doesn’t switch)
Check if power cord is connected to the electricity network.A
Close shutoff valvesB
Remove Flow-SwitchC
Activate Flow-Switch manually. A working relay causes a swit-D
ching noise in the electricity box.
If there is no switching noise, replace electricity box.E
Wrong hot tapping water
temperature
Tap hot water. Turn the thermostatic head to max. temperature A
for a short time.
Hot water is prepared: set then thermostatic head to the desired ►
temperature.
No hot water is prepared: ►
Check buffer water temperature. »
Check the heat exchanger for thermal furring. »
15Malfunctions
E & OE, subject to change without notice.
Cause Relief
Thermal furring of plate heat
exchanger
Clean plate heat exchanger ►
No circulation8.2
Cause Relief
Circulation pump doesn’t
convey.
Check if shutoff at circulation connection is open. ►
Check electric connections. ►
Circulation pump is not set properly. To check that, set the ►
operation mode selector to “ON”
If the pump conveys water, check settings on the pump »
and eventually switch to “Timer Mode”
If no water is conveyed, replace circulation pump. »
Hydraulic resistance of tap
water piping is too big for circulation pump
Check dimensioning of tap water piping. ►
No/wrong switching times8.3
Cause Relief
Circulation unit was switched to
time-independent circulation
Reconnect wiring of circulation pump for time-dependent ►
circulation
Timer clock misaligned Set timer clock and switching times ►
Constant circulation mode8.4
Cause Relief
Circulation unit is not set
properly
Check settings of circulation pump ►
Set timer clock »
Set operation mode selector to desired mode »
Set temperature on circulation
unit is higher than the set temperature on the thermostatic
head
Align the temperature setting of the circulation unit (approxi- ►
mately 10°C below the set tap water temperature)
Fresh Water Station leaks8.5
Cause Relief
Fresh Water Station is leaking Check connection of pipes and sealings at the leaking de- ►
vice. Replace broken sealings.
